Decentralized Image Authentication Mechanism for Android Camera

In an era where trust and authenticity are paramount in the
digital realm, our project emerges as a groundbreaking solution
at the forefront of blockchain-based image authentication. With
a focus on preserving user privacy and ensuring the veracity of
visual content, we introduce an innovative NFT collection-based
image authentication service tailored for Android devices. Every
day a total of 24 million AI generated images are created,
amassing a total of 15 billion images.

The core principle of our project revolves around the creation of
a unique NFT for each authenticated image. Upon detecting new
photos within the user’s Android phone, our system
automatically initiates the authentication process. It waits for an
event emitted directly from the Android device, signaling that a
photo has been taken. This event-driven approach ensures that
the authentication process is triggered only when a genuine
photo-capturing event occurs, mitigating the risk of tampering or
manipulation by malicious actors.

Our objectives are as follows:

Short Term:
Authenticate and sign images captured by a camera (i.e.
Android/Apple) and integrate with existing camera software
Ensure signature cannot be replicated or forged by making
use of immutable metadata unique to individual users
Mint NFTs and maintain an aggregated database for all
signed, authenticated images
Query images against this repository to discover deepfake,
edited, or doctored images

Long Term:
Create a worldwide ecosystem of camera-verified images and
NFTs with corresponding image hashes
Hardware-level automations: working with chip
manufacturers to further secure signature mechanism upon
photo capture event
Restore consumer trust in digital media
