In the age of deepfakes and AI-generated images, Kura provides cryptographic proof that a photo was taken by a real person, at a real place, at a verified time.
Anyone can fabricate a photo with AI. Without provenance, audiences have no way to tell real from fake.
Synthetic media is now indistinguishable from real photography. AI-generated images can fabricate entire scenes, people, and events with alarming realism.
Newsrooms struggle to verify photos from stringers and citizen journalists. There is no reliable way to confirm a photo's origin before publication.
Audiences increasingly distrust media without provenance data. Every unverified photo weakens the credibility of the entire publication.
Four steps from shutter to verified publication — no special hardware, no workflow changes.
A journalist photographs a scene using Kura's web app. The photo is hashed instantly at the point of capture.
The SHA-256 hash, claimed GPS, and identity are anchored to the Internet Computer blockchain via consensus.
The original media is encrypted with vetKeys and stored on-chain. Source identities stay protected until the journalist chooses to share.
Anyone — editors, readers, fact-checkers — can independently verify the record with a single link. No account needed.
SHA-256 hash is generated the instant the photo is taken — proving the image has not been altered, cropped, or AI-enhanced after the fact.
Blockchain consensus provides a trusted, immutable timestamp — proving the photo existed at a specific moment in time, not backdated.
Every capture is linked to a verified identity. Editors know exactly who took the photo — essential for vetting stringer submissions.
vetKeys encryption protects sensitive source material. Journalists can share evidence with editors without exposing sources or locations.
Generate provenance documents with full cryptographic proof — ideal for editorial review, legal defence, or public transparency.
Embed a verification link alongside any published photo. Readers can confirm authenticity themselves — rebuilding trust one click at a time.
If you stop checking in, evidence is automatically released to designated recipients — lawyers, NGOs, or news organisations. Your documentation survives even if you don't.
A freelance journalist in a conflict zone photographs evidence of civilian infrastructure damage. The images are captured through Kura, instantly hashed, timestamped, and linked to the journalist's verified identity.
The photos are published by a major outlet with Kura verification links embedded alongside each image. Readers and fact-checkers can independently confirm the provenance of every photo.
Without Kura, the newsroom would have no way to conclusively prove the photos were authentic, and the denial narrative could take hold unchallenged.
