But.. if the camera app automatically signs pics/vids, that would mean that a private key is available to the app without any passphrase (or one embedded in the app :O).. So why not just extract they key and sign your fake vid?

Python is the language I chose to teach my 7 yr old daughter. Much thanks to the uncluttered syntax which requires a minimum number of explanations of non-essential parts of a program. Thanks Guido for giving us Python!
