Multi-modal Authenticity Capture in Untrusted Environments
Hardware-level cryptographic attestation fails when peripheral sensors themselves can be spoofed. In adversarial environments, an operational signature only proves that a chip executed an instruction—not that the physical reality it recorded is authentic.
This research couples deterministic photometric sensors and robotic spatial calibration to validate multi-modal physical invariants (light diffusion, spatial motion consistency). If sensor cross-validation violates physical laws, the media stream is marked compromised prior to any cryptographic hashing.
