Assertions are cryptographically hashed and their hashes are gathered together into a claim. A claim is a digitally signed data structure that represents a set of assertions along with one or more cryptographic hashes on the data of an asset. The signature ensures the integrity of the claim and makes the system tamper-evident. A claim can be either directly or indirectly embedded into an asset as it moves through the life of the asset.

The idea is that at all times during its distribution across the Internet, anyone will be able to view the details about the image's origination, including who created it, what publication originally published the image, when the photo was captured, what modifications may have been made to the image and more

The CAI digital content attribution system will only succeed if major hardware and software companies implement the standard into their products. ..
As well, Adobe's system will have to achieve its highest goal, which is to be tamper-proof, something that is yet to be demonstrated.

I am a little leery of Adobe sometimes. Getting all their (on startup) persistence modules off my computers has been almost impossible, and I dont even use any of their software products anymore...

Have you used the Adobe removal tools? Have you removed all Adobe directories? Go into Regedit and remove the Adobe registry items. iObit uninstaller?

Just some ideas. My personal Adobe product that I'd like to KILL is PDF Architect which I have no use for (that I know) and I keep getting update reminders. I just have other things I'd rather be doing on a day off, like weeding the garden, splitting wood, editing photos and wasting time on MSG.  While I'm boiling eggs and making candles.

For 10 to 30 some odd cents an image, I am not too fussed if Adobe finds a way to go after cheats. We don't see any of that gain anyway from most agencies, remember Getty going after every abuse? We don't see a penny from that.

Its interesting, to be sure and good for them. They are protecting their market share and giving another reason out of many for people to send content to them. But unless its exclusive content, it doesn't make a huge difference does it?

Respectfully, I would disagree its the most important topic for stock producers though.

You are the owner of your images, only you. If you are adult person you know the rest. You find your contest stolen, you contact the lawyer etc etc. Noone Will work for you. 80+% images online are stolen.

Ok.
My apologies for sidetracking your thread with my aside about the company's persistence software.

i'm surprised  by the lack of interest, too.  it will add to the security of images - there will still be thieves, but it will also educate honest users and perhaps even penalize some of the 'free' sites

this doesnt look like a market grab by Adobe - it follows a tradition of  companies creating  and releasing new standards; eg BMP from MS, GIF from CompuServe & PDF from Adobe

each of these can be used by anyone without having to pay anything to the creators
