An independent research project asking whether real photos and videos should carry a verifiable receipt from the moment they were captured.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The project collects accounts of situations in which authentic media was challenged, using six reasons that range from a doubted marketplace photo to synthetic images of the respondent. Its proposed provenance receipt records a capture device, timestamp, coordinates, edit status, and whether the file bytes have remained unchanged. The displayed example is labeled as a sample, so the page does not establish that this verification system is currently operating.
