Forensic Media Authentication

Court-admissible analysis of video, audio, and image files.

WHY THIS MATTERS

IN A WORLD WHERE ANY VIDEO CAN BE FABRICATED, 'SEEING' IS NO LONGER EVIDENCE.

Courts across India are beginning to receive digital media as evidence in criminal and civil proceedings. Mobile footage, audio recordings, and social media videos are submitted as proof of events, statements, and identities. Without forensic authentication, there is no reliable way to tell the difference. A convincingly manipulated video will pass visual inspection by any human observer - including trained investigators. The manipulation leaves traces - but only at the pixel, acoustic, and file-structure level. Forensic media authentication is the scientific process that reads those traces and converts them into defensible evidence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about forensic media authentication

Hear what our clients say about our IT and security solutions

What types of manipulation can forensic media authentication detect?

Icon

Our methodology detects face swaps, face reenactments, GAN-generated imagery, AI-synthesized voice, audio splicing, video frame insertion or deletion, and classical image editing including cloning, compositing, and content-aware fill. It also detects re-compression manipulation and metadata tampering.

How long does a forensic media authentication analysis take?

Icon

Standard turnaround is 24 to 72 hours for single-file submissions. Bulk engagements and complex multi-file cases are scoped individually. Expedited analysis is available for urgent law enforcement matters - contact our team.

Is the forensic report admissible in Indian courts?

Icon

Yes. Our reports are structured in alignment with the Indian Evidence Act requirements for electronic records and expert evidence. They include methodology disclosure, chain-of-custody documentation, confidence scoring, and an expert declaration - the elements required for admissibility under Sections 45A and 65B of the Evidence Act.

Can you analyze media that has been compressed or re-shared?

Icon

Yes. Compression and re-encoding affect visual quality but do not erase all forensic signals. Our file forensic layer specifically analyzes codec histories and re-compression signatures, and our visual forensic layer is calibrated for analysis of compressed media. We document the impact of compression on confidence levels where relevant.

What file formats do you accept?

Icon

We accept all common video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM), image formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP), and audio formats (WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG, WEBM). If your file is in an unusual format, contact us before submission.
