Version 1.0 - QR Code Method

Early QR Code Watermark

Our first approach used QR codes to embed authentication data. While functional, the large QR codes were visually intrusive and not aesthetically pleasing. This led us to develop our dynamic encoding method seen in later examples.

Technical Note: While the QR code method worked for data encoding, we recognized the need for a more subtle, aesthetically pleasing approach that wouldn't distract from the content.
Version 2.0 - Dynamic Encoding

Watermark Protection in Action

This demonstration shows our new dynamic watermark system. An AI avatar explains how the absence of a watermark makes it easy to identify fake content. Our system makes authentication immediately visible to viewers.

Key Insight: The dynamic watermark is still in early development and will become more aesthetically pleasing and smaller over time. Future versions will include invisible watermark options.

The Ultimate Test: Watermark Copying Attack

Can attackers fool the system by copying watermarks?

Here's what happens when someone tries to copy a watermark from an authentic video to make their fake content appear legitimate.

✅ AUTHENTIC

Jason's Original Video

Verified as Jason's Authentic content using Authenti.Media tools.

❌ FAKE

Attacker's Video

Watermark copied from authentic video, so the encoded data does not match.

DETECTION
How We Detect This Attack:
Content Mismatch: Our validation tool detects that the video content doesn't match the watermark data
Duration Check: The fake video is longer than the original authenticated content
Owner Verification: If the attacker created their own watermark, it would show them as the creator, not Jason
Identity Exposure: Jason could identify the attacker through their watermark ownership
Tool Validation: Watermarks not created with our tools will never validate as authentic
