How does SWEAR work?

In Short

As video is captured, SWEAR creates a proof of originality by cryptographically hashing each frame and associated audio. SWEAR stores those hashes on blockchain so teams can later validate video authenticity.

Explanation

There are two parts to the SWEAR Authentication System: Certification and Validation.

Certification

  • As security footage is recorded, SWEAR’s Authentication System cryptographically hashes the video frame by frame and second by second. At the same time, SWEAR stores the hashes remotely and protects them with blockchain.

Validation

  • When teams need to validate the authenticity of security footage, SWEAR recreates the cryptographic hashes for each frame and compares them with the original hashes protected by blockchain. If a single pixel has changed, SWEAR flags that second of video as modified.
