Purpose and public position
Research and tools exploring authenticity, provenance, corroboration and analysis of synthetic digital evidence.
Technical and editorial priorities
The existence of multiple matching files does not establish that their origins are independent.
Synthetic media evaluation should separate perceptual appearance from provenance and authenticated chain of custody.
Constraints and evidence boundaries
Tool output is a test result rather than an automatic determination of truth.
Areas of work
- Source independence
- Media provenance
- Forensic methodology
Working approach
The relevant work is evaluated through documented assumptions, source lineage, an explicit scope of responsibility and reproducible checks. A project description is not a substitute for a live demonstration or independent security review. Future public releases should carry dated change notes, methods and a clear license.
