One of the most difficult things about detecting manipulated deepfakes and photos is that digital photo files aren't coded to be tamper evident. But researchers from New York University, as well as other researchers and start ups around the world, are starting to develop strategies that make it easier to tell if a photo has been altered, as well as finding new ways to prevent your likeness from being deepfaked, opening up a potential new front in the war on fakery. Forensic analysts have been able to identify some digital characteristics they can use to detect meddling, but these indicators don't always paint a reliable picture of whatever digital manipulations a photo has undergone. But what if that tamper-resistant seal originated from the camera that took the original photo itself?
