frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What does this device do?
It makes video provable. When the device is in frame, it emits optical and cryptographic signatures that allow any clip to be authenticated later.
Why do we need this now?
AI can fabricate incredibly convincing videos. Without hardware-rooted proof, no video can be trusted at face value.
Who is this for?
Governments, newsrooms, corporations, creators, legal teams, and anyone who needs video evidence that cannot be faked.
Why hardware instead of software?
Software can be bypassed. Hardware signals and private keys cannot be forged.
Deepfake Resistance
Can AI replicate your LED or IR pattern?
No. The pattern is cryptographically signed and mathematically tied to the device’s private key and Device ID.
What if someone edits the clip?
Verification immediately fails because the patterns no longer match the expected sequence.
What if someone crops the device out?
The video loses the authenticity signal and cannot be verified.
Can someone overlay your device in a fake clip?
Not without the correct cryptographic signature and environmental logs. Both must match.
Cryptography
What cryptography do you use?
Industry-standard signing algorithms with secure hardware-based private key storage.
Can the private key be extracted?
No. It never leaves the secure enclave.
Can you forge a device signature?
Not without breaking modern cryptography.
What if the device is stolen?
The device can be revoked in the registry to prevent fraudulent use.
Device ID Lookup
What is device ID outreach?
A second verification layer. If a suspicious clip appears, we confirm with the registered owner whether an event occurred.
What happens before outreach?
The system runs full LED, IR, crypto, device ID, and environmental log validation.
Can a fake clip use a real device ID?
Not successfully the hardware logs and signatures won’t match.
Press Conferences
How does this protect press conferences?
The device sits on the podium. Every camera captures the signature, making the event cryptographically provable.
Do journalists need special equipment?
No. Any camera works.
What if someone releases a fake briefing?
The clip fails signature validation and is flagged.
Can newsrooms verify clips quickly?
Yes — upload → verify → done.
Newsrooms
Can reporters verify clips in the field?
Yes. The portal is mobile-friendly.
Can platforms automate verification?
Yes — via API.
Creators
Can creators use this?
Yes — it prevents impersonation videos and protects brand integrity.
Does it affect color grading or post?
No. Verification still works unless the pattern is removed or manipulated.
Editing
Can I cut a clip?
Yes, as long as the device remains in frame and signatures are intact.
What if the clip is recompressed?
Signatures survive compression.
Privacy
Does the device record audio/video?
No. It only emits signatures and logs environmental readings.
Do you track personal data?
No.
Hardware
What sensors are included?
IMU, gyro, magnetometer, temperature, humidity, pressure, IR LEDs, visible LEDs.
What’s battery the life?
Depends on mode several hours continuously. Press conference models may be powered via AC.
Integration
Is there an API?
Yes, newsrooms and platforms can automate verification.
Pricing / Pilots
Do you offer pilots?
Yes city, state, corporate, and enterprise levels.
