This is very interesting. adobe is using forensics techniques to detect manipulation. in the usual adversarial game played by computer security and cryptography researchers versus the attackers, can this work in the long term?

Observations, ideas, inferences, and little hops of the imagination. Wired News - AP News. Genetic Predisposition to PTSD (Wired News - AP News). I can't help but wonder if there will be genetic tests to help people determine whether they will do well as a soldier or other professions where traumatic stress is likely. And whether such tests will become mandatory prior to enlistment as a way to limit the (future) cost in VA hospitals etc. Posted by bsy @ 3/18/2008 11:50:00 AM. Comments: Post a Comment.

Is it two photos of the same woman at the same event? Or is she a professional mourner? A technical means of providing supporting authentication for the photographic evidence would be a GPS-enabled camera where the coordinates / time are included in the photographic data being digitally signed.

Observations, ideas, inferences, and little hops of the imagination. Busted in Hezbollah Photo Fraud! Busted in Hezbollah Photo Fraud! This time, staged photos. Presumably the time, date, location is real, only the subject matter is staged. This is the kind of thing that would be difficult to prevent, were it more sophisticated and used different actors throughout. In this case, however, presumably face recognition could be applied, as well as some basic olde-style symbolic AI inferencing.
