And that's just in the non-adversarial simple case.
If you don't know the provenance of images you are putting black box on (for example because of a rogue employee intentionally wanting to leak them, or if the image sensor of your target had been compromised to leak some info by another team), your redaction can be rendered ineffective, as some images can be made uncroppable by construction .

- layla5alive 10mo agoRight, using stenography to encode some parity bits into an image so that lost information can be reconstructed seems like an obvious approach - all sorts of approaches you could use, akin to FEC. Haven't looked at your site yet, will be interested to see what you've built :) Edit: I checked it out, nice, I like the lower res stenography approach, can work very nicely with good upscaling filters - gave it a star :)

- GistNoesis 10mo agoPlease forgive my outside the box use of word. I used it at the time as a reference to the "PNG aCropalypse" ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35208721 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35208721 where I originally shared it in a comment). The algorithm does also work if you remove the outer areas of the photo.
