How True Media Works

Four simple steps to cryptographically verify your content's integrity and authenticity.

1

Capture Content

Use the True Media mobile app to capture photos or videos. The moment you press the shutter, our app immediately generates a cryptographic hash of your content before any processing occurs.

Instant SHA-256 hash generation
Pre-processing capture ensures integrity
Works on iOS and Android devices

Camera captures content

SHA-256 hash generated instantly

2

Device Attestation

Your device automatically validates that the content came from our legitimate, unmodified app using iOS App Attest or Android SafetyNet. This proves the content wasn't generated by malicious software, AI or modified apps.

iOS App Attest verification
Android SafetyNet validation
App integrity verification

Device validates app authenticity

Proves content source legitimacy

3

Blockchain Submission

The content hash and device attestation are submitted to the blockchain, creating an immutable, timestamped record. This provides cryptographic proof that your content existed at a specific time and hasn't been altered.

Creates immutable record

4

Verification & Proof

Anyone can verify your content by entering its SHA-256 hash into our verification portal. We'll compare the hash against blockchain records to confirm the content hasn't been modified since capture. You receive a certificate of authenticity.

What This Process Proves

True Media provides strong guarantees within defined threat models

✓ What We Prove

  • • Content hasn't been digitally modified since capture
  • • Exact timestamp of when content was created
  • • Content came from legitimate True Media app
  • • File integrity with cryptographic certainty

✗ What We Don't Prove

  • • Content authenticity (staged scenes)
  • • Context or meaning of content
  • • Physical world authenticity
  • • Content that existed before capture
