This is so insanely complex and requires placing trust in the correctness of so many pieces, many of them closed-source. And uploading every verified "developed" image to Apple's servers. And giving up full control of the software and hardware you "own". All to achieve a goal of "verifying" photons, which is only a part of the real problem of verifying the truth of an event that was photographed.
I hope that companies and governments don't start forcing us to use this stuff by requiring it for their services.
- Gigachad 17d agoBecause it’s impossible to implement this feature in open source and out in the open. It relies on a locked down image pipeline and hidden key.
- jeroenhd 17d agoThat's also why the approach is fundamentally flawed. The open-ish C2PA protocol has been "defeated" by tricking phones into signing arbitrary data already. The even-more-closed Apple version can be defeated the same way and relies on Apple to be the sole arbiter of truth.
- kingleopold 17d agoany other similar approach is also dead on arrival, I can't believe so many apple engineers fails to see it? it's like siri 2012 all over again
- PunchyHamster 17d agoIncorrect. There is nothing here requiring closed source. Only private keys need to be kept private for obvious reasons
- mcfedr 16d agoits impossible in closed source. there is no reason to believe it does what it says it does. only private keys in the chain need to remain secret.
- cromka 16d agoUploading photos is probably why this thing is unavailable in EU. Or tis another case of their performative malicious compliance.
- Andi 15d agoThat's the issue: Instead of trusting your neighbour or a photo journalist's integrity (and if this direct trust is missing, who else should you trust?), you trust a trillion dollar US company. Actor injection.
