SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING EDITED IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18495122 titled 'SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING EDITED IMAGE
The abstract describes a system for verifying edited images, involving a producer terminal device, an editor terminal device, and a user terminal device.
- The producer terminal device tiles a source image into smaller tiled images with individual hash values, calculates an integrated source image hash value, and generates an image tag pair through digitally signing.
- The editor terminal device receives the image tag pair, divides the source image into smaller tiled images based on a tile configuration, edits part of the images, includes the rest to generate an edited integral image, calculates an integrated edit image hash value, and generates a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) assurance through digitally signing.
- The user terminal device receives the ZKP assurance to verify if the edited integral image is generated by editing the source image.
Potential Applications: - Image editing verification systems - Digital content authenticity verification
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the authenticity of edited images - Providing a secure verification process for edited images
Benefits: - Enhanced trust in edited images - Protection against image tampering and manipulation
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Image Editing Verification System This technology can be used in industries such as: - Photography - Graphic design - Forensic analysis
Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior art related to image authentication, digital signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image authentication technologies and digital signature methods.
Questions about Image Editing Verification Systems: 1. How does the system ensure the integrity of edited images? 2. What are the key components of the zero-knowledge proof assurance in this system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for verifying edited image includes: a producer terminal device configured to tile a source image for a plurality of smaller tiled images with individual source image hash values to accordingly calculate an integrated source image hash value, and to execute digitally signing to generate an image tag pair; an editor terminal device configured to receive the image tag pair, to divide the source image into these smaller tiled images according to a tile configuration, to edit part of the smaller tiled images, to include the rest part of these smaller tiled images to generate an edited integral image and further calculate an integrated edit image hash value, and to execute digitally signing to generate a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) assurance; and, a user terminal device configured to receive the ZKP assurance to accordingly verify whether or not the edited integral image is generated by editing the source image.
