Video Authenticity Starts at Capture

At a high level, SWEAR operates in three basic steps:

1. Capture: SWEAR fingerprints each frame and sound as a video is recorded.
2. Protect: These fingerprints are stored securely on a blockchain ledger.
3. Validate: The content can later be checked against its proof to confirm authenticity.

This happens automatically and invisibly, without changing how you record or view content.

Digital DNA is a unique fingerprint for each video—created as it’s captured, and designed to show if anything changes later.

Unlike traditional metadata or visible watermarks, Digital DNA cannot be forged, copied, or stripped. It provides a tamper-evident record that proves whether a piece of content is genuine or altered.

Unlike watermarking or post-hoc analysis tools, SWEAR proves authenticity at the source—delivering real-time verification without altering media files.

SWEAR locks in authenticity at the point of creation, producing independent digital proof of originality that remains verifiable forever — a proactive rather than reactive defense.

No. SWEAR never stores or transmits video. Only proof data—fingerprints and timestamps—are written to the ledger.

No private data, device IDs, or identifying metadata ever leave your environment.

SWEAR adheres to leading data security and privacy frameworks, ensuring proof-of-original data remains protected and confidential.

SWEAR can be deployed in any environment where authenticity can’t be left to chance, such as:

•   Law enforcement & legal systems: To preserve admissible, tamper-proof digital evidence.
•   Security & defense: For real-time verification of body-cam and drone footage.
•   Media & journalism: To verify field reporting and combat misinformation.
•   Government & regulators: To anchor official records, elections data, or public announcements.
•   Enterprise & social platforms: To protect corporate communications and brand integrity.

Yes. SWEAR is device-agnostic and built for interoperability.

It integrates with leading video management systems, including Milestone, and can fit within existing capture or review workflows.

None. Protecting one hour of video requires less than one megabyte of fingerprint data on the blockchain — with no impact on performance or video storage requirements.

SWEAR is primarily designed for real-time capture, but archived or legacy content can be retroactively fingerprinted and anchored to the ledger to establish future proof of authenticity.

SWEAR uses a permissioned blockchain built on Hyperledger Fabric — designed for privacy, resilience, and transaction integrity.

It’s fast, scalable, and can be hosted by SWEAR, self-deployed, or operated on-premises depending on customer needs.

SWEAR doesn’t detect fakes—it proves when footage is real. Videos without SWEAR proof are flagged as unverifiable.

Simply run a video verification check using SWEAR’s validation tools. The system re-fingerprints the content and compares it to its original proof record, returning a pass/fail result.

 Most tools focus on AI-generated image detection. SWEAR focuses on video—the harder problem—establishing video authenticity verification at capture, not post-production.

Yes. While video is the most common use case, SWEAR’s platform is media-agnostic. It can secure still images, audio files, documents, or live streams — any digital content where authenticity matters.

Absolutely. SWEAR adheres to rigorous data-protection standards and does not expose personally identifiable information.

Because only cryptographic hashes are stored, the system aligns with global privacy frameworks and data-protection principles.

Any change — even a single pixel — alters the fingerprint and breaks the match against the ledger.

When a SWEAR verification check runs, it immediately flags the discrepancy and can pinpoint the exact frame or segment that was altered.

Yes. SWEAR produces forensic-grade validation with a cryptographic chain of custody.
The blockchain record serves as an independent notary — supports evidentiary needs and chain-of-custody requirements and resistant to tampering or retroactive manipulation.

Yes. SWEAR supports on-premises and isolated deployments, with customer-controlled ledgers and no media leaving your environment.

SWEAR doesn’t detect deepfakes — it prevents them from being mistaken for authentic media.

Because real content is captured and anchored at the source, anything lacking a SWEAR fingerprint is, by definition, unverifiable. This establishes a clear line between proven and unproven content.

Yes. SWEAR aligns with C2PA and content provenance standards, providing a cryptographic foundation for verifiable video authenticity.

Those initiatives embed metadata about origin or edit history. SWEAR goes further — creating a mathematically verifiable record at the pixel and audio level.

SWEAR fingerprints every frame and anchors it to blockchain, ensuring tamper-proof authenticity even if metadata is stripped or altered.

Beyond security and media, SWEAR is working with partners across consumer electronics, insurance, and cloud platforms to make authenticity a built-in expectation everywhere digital content is created or shared.

Developers and OEM partners can access SWEAR’s API and SDK to embed proof-of-original functionality directly into their systems — from camera firmware to VMS dashboards.
