been reading about the #C2PA protocol that will soon be in DSLRs
https://c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/1.4/specs/C2PA_Specification.html#_cryptography
very curious about it... having doubts because of Microsoft and Adobe leading it
curious about the possibility of a #C2PA modification to #fediverse software like #Mastodon whereby cryptographically validated photos and videos posted to Mastodon clearly indicate passing validation
#C2PA Digital Content Provenance Virtual Event
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYtJYY9ODwQ
"On January 26, 2022, the Coalition on Content Provenance and Authenticity hosted the “Digital Content Provenance: Possibilities & Opportunities for the Future of the Internet in the #Deepfake and #Disinformation Era” event. Policymakers, academics and industry leaders discussed the future of responsible digital media creation, publication, and sharing and provided a presentation and demonstration of the C2PA’s new technical specification."
alright so i've spun up "c2pa.camera" (https://c2pa.camera) in order to document which cameras support this important security and authenticity feature
I wonder if there are any US federal grants available that would fund the open source development of #C2PA authentication mechanisms getting built into social media platforms like #Pixelfed and #Mastodon
I wonder if, as we scroll through our feeds, our fedi servers could authenticate C2PA media and present validation metadata to the end user to thwart #disinformation
the cryptography at play would need to account for potential, malicious modifications getting made to server code, or maybe both servers, the source server and the user's server could corroborate the validation, or maybe multiple independent servers could serve as a distributed validation system
apparently OpenAI is already embedding C2PA metadata into DALL-E generated images, which would even make clear to the users when and where OpenAI generated media is from https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8912793-c2pa-in-dall-e-3
this would be a huge benefit to #TrustAndSafety in the #fediverse
