   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.

      Because 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.

         That'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.

            any 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
