ProofMode: Verified Visuals

Guardian Project: Apps You Can Trust

About this app

We believe in a future, where every camera will have a “Proof Mode” that can be enabled and every viewer an ability to verify-then-trust what they are seeing.

ProofMode is a system that enables authentication and verification of multimedia content, particularly captured on a smartphone, from point of capture at the source to viewing by a recipient. It utilizes enhanced sensor-driven metadata, hardware fingerprinting, cryptographic signing, and third-party notaries to enable a pseudonymous, decentralized approach to the need for chain-of-custody and “proof” by both activists and everyday people alike.

ProofMode supports the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication (C2PA) standard, Content Credentials and the Content Authenticity Initiative.

How can I use ProofMode today?
ProofMode is ready to use and publicly available as production mobile apps, desktop tools, developer libraries and verification processes. We also provide training and support for the use of resilient decentralized storage technology through our PRESERVE Process.

Ratings and reviews

Doesn't work at all, but looks nice. I've had it on my phone for months and months, but it's never been able to generate any proofs. Share pic, no proof exists, press generate proof, press basic or robust (didn't matter), spins for over 30min and still nothing. I've tried multiple times over the past several months with different pictures and everything. Kept it on the phone hoping an update would eventually make it work, but nope. S20 Ultra, Android 11 & tried on newest update of Android 12.

Easy to use and no ad.s. "Visuals" ha-ha, two stars for the concept attempt (it almost gives the public AmericA bar association worthy camera evidence - something like this could make Calif. Prop. 65 a realLaw) . It is really where it needs to be: unfunctional (it sits in the background without generating proof until expostfacto tapped) - whilst Manual Camera app reports camera2 NO raw data camera support.

The app works, but I would like it to work with any file type (at least audio). Canging the file extension seems to work as a workaround, though.
