Abstract:

Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for verifying video authenticity using blockchain. An implementation may include receiving a video clip from a first source and generating a genesis block of a blockchain, wherein the genesis block includes the video clip, metadata of the video clip, and a first hash value of both the video clip and the metadata. The implementation includes distributing the blockchain to a plurality of nodes in a blockchain network. The implementation includes for each indication received of activity performed on the video clip to be recorded on the blockchain, verifying the activity and generating a new block on the blockchain recording the activity. The implementation includes receiving a modified version of the video clip, verifying an authenticity of the modified version based on each activity recorded in the blockchain, and in response to determining that the modified version is not authentic, generating an alert indicating inauthenticity.
