Photographers have been begging the big camera makers (Nikon/Canon) to add cryptographic signatures to photos from their cameras for years, but so far they've resisted doing so.
- sharpercoder 9y agoThis is strange, considering the competition going on in this industry.

Now smartphone apps taking “secure” pictures have been there for a while, for use cases like crash site photo for insurance claims for instance. They do fill the niche I think.
