   Canon tried this 20 years ago with DSLRs. Nikon had an authentication system. Both were broken. The keys ended up on Pastebin. Apple's hardware security is better, but history suggests this is a temporary advantage. The real question is whether the system will be revoked when (not if) it's broken, and whether Apple will have the guts to retroactively invalidate millions of "verified' photos"

      keys went public way after it was abandoned.

      think for one second, who cares enough about image authenticity AND publishes raw photos directly from a camera with zero post production?

      this was, is, and always will be useless and only serve the purpose it's fulfilling here: talk about the brand in a higher than thou privacy bastion.

      In this case keys are per-sensor and revokable. So surely if someone spends a lot of money and extracts a sensor key it can only get minimal use before revocation?
