This reads a bit like "Door locks do not survive contact with reality."
The point is not to prevent state-sponsored actors to produce fake media, but to add friction and avoid shady marketing agency and photographs from claiming their pictures are genuine.
- ACCount37 24d agoYeah, the target is not the cryptographic "safe forever", but a real world "safer than not having it". If we're trying to decide whether a high profile politician has committed a crime, then yeah, C2PA on the footage isn't fully trustworthy. However, every bit of footage you get that corroborates the story raises the threshold of the attack. If we're trying to decide whether Joe Everyman has crossed a double solid while driving his truck? C2PA is probably good enough. The chances of that footage being faked by a malicious party would be low even without C2PA, but C2PA makes them even lower.
