It leverages the fairly new official (Rust based) C2PA library to parse any C2PA data inside a photo, and shows you how the photo was created (AI, Camera, or Content Creation software) and then any edits that have taken place since it's creation.
C2PA is not a silver bullet to the problem of misinformation, but it may turn out to be an important tool in the fight. And right now there aren't a lot of ways to actually read and verify the data, so thought I'd put a tool out there to help the ecosystem along in these early days.
It provides the strongest possible encryption for photos. However it did not support video, as video presents significant technical challenges due to the volume of data.
Last weekend in the United States we saw a painful example of how important video is as evidence.
Sunday I started tackling the problem, and after some crunching the last few days, have now released version 4.0 of SnapSafe supporting video capture.
I created a simple but effective encryption container format for the video that is streamable and seekable with minimal overhead on mobile devices. It allows for playback, random-access, and scrubbing of videos, without having to decrypt anything to disk. You can read my spec on my SECV file format if that's interesting to you.
