MeaFuse: Digital Authenticity in Your Hand

MeaFuse: Digital Authenticity in Your Hand

Never before has there been a time when protecting the integrity of digital content, files and evidence been so critical. With the increasing prevalence of deepfakes, digital fraud, and manipulated media, the ability to prove a digital file’s authenticity and integrity is vital.

This is where MeaFuse comes in.

Read on to find out about Issured’s latest secure cloud solution, why it was created and the many benefits it possesses for users across a range of industries.

What is MeaFuse?

MeaFuse is an innovative solution designed to preserve the authenticity of digital media from the moment it’s captured. Its primary aim is to help protect organisations from the growing threat of digital disinformation by ensuring that captured digital media remains secure, authentic, and reliable throughout its lifecycle.

It can be used in numerous ways, from taking audio statements and recording face to face video interviews; to photographically capturing crime scenes or property damage; and even providing the capability to capture and preserve entire web pages. By using existing devices to capture a range of digital evidence, there is no longer a need to purely rely on expensive equipment such as DSLRs, Dictaphones or Body Worn Cameras (BWC).

Utilising Blockchain technology and the highest-level of publicly available encryption, any piece of digital media captured or stored in MeaFuse is given a unique digital fingerprint along with information on who, when, where and how it was captured, making every file tamper evident.

Why was MeaFuse created?

The digital age has brought incredible convenience, but it has also introduced new challenges, especially in maintaining the integrity of digital content. With simple photo, audio and video editing tools, combined with sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI), anyone is capable of creating highly convincing fake digital media, either as a deepfake or shallowfake. This has made distinguishing between authentic and manipulated content increasingly difficult.

This issue poses significant risks for sectors like law enforcement, justice and insurance, where the validity of digital evidence is crucial. MeaFuse addresses this problem head-on, providing protection against digital manipulation by securing digital content at its point of capture and maintaining a verifiable chain of custody.

Key Advantages of MeaFuse

01. Robust Security for Digital Content

MeaFuse provides top-tier security for digital media, ensuring that once content is captured, it remains tamper evident. By using advanced encryption and Blockchain technology, MeaFuse offers a secure and transparent digital chain of custody. Each action on a digital file is recorded in an unchangeable ledger, making any unauthorised alterations instantly detectable.

02. Evidence Preservation You Can Trust

For sectors where preserving the integrity of evidence is critical, MeaFuse acts as a guardian for digital content. By applying a tamper-evident seal on any type of digital file, it ensures that evidence remains unchanged from the moment of capture. This feature is crucial for maintaining the validity of digital evidence presented in courtrooms or investigations, preventing legal challenges that arise from doubts about the content’s authenticity.

03. Anywhere, Anytime, Any Device

MeaFuse’s quick and easy accessibility makes it a flexible tool for capturing and managing digital media from any location. Its compatible across Android, iOS, Windows and MacOS, so that users can secure digital content wherever they are, providing a seamless experience that supports any-size operations. This is particularly advantageous for organisations with distributed teams or those needing to collect evidence from various locations.

Furthermore, the device agnostic nature of MeaFuse means that you can have users on-location at an incident, capturing evidence, which is then stored instantaneously in the Cloud. Users working at an office can view and download the media captured, saving time uploading data from storage mediums like Compact Flash and SD memory cards.

04. Boosting Operational Efficiency and Improving ROI

MeaFuse helps streamline processes by automating parts of the digital evidence management workflow. Whether it’s automatic transcription of video and audio or the near-instant validation of digital authenticity, MeaFuse can help speed up processes and reduce overall costs, contributing to better resource management. Not only this, MeaFuse also utilises your devices you already own to capture, store and share evidence, therefore there is no need to purchase and use separate devices or equipment, reducing costs and boosting efficiency.

05. Building Trust and Credibility

At a time when the inexpensive accessibility of Generative AI and digital editing tools means that deepfake and shallowfake material can be created by just about anyone, ensuring the credibility of digital content is more important than ever. MeaFuse empowers organisations to quickly prove that their content is genuine, enhancing trust with clients, stakeholders, and the public and avoiding the time consuming and distracting traditional processes of proving evidential integrity.

06. Meeting Regulatory Standards

Many industries are bound by regulations that require strict management and preservation of digital files and records. MeaFuse helps organisations meet these regulatory requirements by maintaining a secure and verifiable digital chain of custody so that they can easily evidence who accessed and edited files and when. MeaFuse is compliant with NIST standards and uses the highest levels of commercially available encryption to secure an organisation’s digital files.

07. Your Data is Your Own
