Wonder if that is possible. One can always convert a picture to a 2-D array of RGB values, so signature can't be in the video (or image) file container. So it has to be a watermark of a kind. If the algorithm is known, it's interesting if the signature can be unforgeable. If algorithm isn't known, then other issues (like with DeCSS) can appear.
- surye 7y agoA signature doesn't have to be protected from malicious removal. If a bad actor removes it (or modifies it), then the video can no longer be validated and is considered compromised/unknown (which may be the same thing depending on how important validity is). DeCSS was removal of encryption, not signature, which is a whole different set of concerns and goals.
