In today’s digital age, relying on visual content alone to make informed decisions can be challenging. Photocert addresses this with point-of-capture authentication, certifying the authenticity of visual media the moment it’s created through seamless mobile app integration—ensuring that what’s shown is a true reflection of reality. This gives you the confidence to use the content for any purpose, knowing it’s verified and trustworthy.
In addition, Photocert extracts key metadata from the mobile device and performs a series of advanced security checks. Here are just a few:
Images and videos captured using Photocert’s point-of-capture authentication technology are certified within milliseconds. This certification is transmitted to our servers via a secure connection, where the accompanying data is analysed and safely stored—ensuring both quick access and long-term protection.
GPS and other spatial data are embedded within the certification, tying the image to its precise location. This not only confirms where the photo was taken but also helps to contextualise the conditions under which it was captured.
The date and time are securely embedded within the point-of-capture authentication. When paired with GPS data, this allows Photocert to accurately display the weather conditions at the exact time and location the image or video was taken.
An authentic picture can still be fraudulent if it was originated from another photo, printed media or a screen. Computer vision and machine learning tests, among others, are used to identify these cases.
