    The point is that if someone catches the President shagging kids, of course that footage won’t be authenticated by the WH. We need a tool so that a genuine piece of footage of the Pres shagging kids would be authenticated, but a deepfake of the same would not. The WH is not a good arbiter since they are not independent.

      Politicians and anyone at deepfake risk wear a digital pendant at all times. Pendant displays continually rotating time-based codes. People record themselves using video hardware which crypto graphically signs output.

      Only a law/Big 4 firm can extract video from the official camera (which has a twin for hot swapping).

        Codes which don’t embedd any information about what you’re saying or doing can be copied over to faked images.

        In theory you could have such a pendant record your voice, etc, and continously emit signatures for compressed versions of your speech (or a signed speech-to-text transcript)
