This morning I read a piece on SRF about a team at ETH Zürich that has spent nearly a decade building a chip to fight deepfakes. The chip sits directly on a camera sensor and generates a cryptographic signature the moment an image is captured. Anyone who alters the image after the fact invalidates the signature. Felix Franke, the professor leading the project, says he saw the problem coming ten years ago and decided to work on it rather than wait for someone else. The chip is still a prototype. The problem it addresses is not.
