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 patent application describes a system for verifying edited images using 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 to calculate 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 authentication - Anti-counterfeiting measures in image processing
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the authenticity of edited images - Preventing unauthorized modifications to images - Enhancing trust in digital content
Benefits: - Improved image integrity verification - Enhanced security in digital image processing - Increased confidence in the authenticity of edited images
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Image Verification System for Digital Content Authentication This technology can be used in industries such as: - Photography - Graphic design - Forensic analysis - E-commerce platforms
Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior art related to image authentication, digital signature technologies, and zero-knowledge proofs in digital content verification.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image authentication technologies, digital signature algorithms, and zero-knowledge proof protocols for enhanced image verification systems.
Questions about Image Verification Systems: 1. How does the system ensure the integrity of edited images? The system uses hash values and digital signatures to verify the authenticity of edited images. 2. What are the key components of the image verification process? The key components include tiling the source image, calculating hash values, generating image tag pairs, editing the image, and creating zero-knowledge proof assurances.
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.
