Problem
In the era of AI-generated media, it is increasingly difficult to determine whether a photo is authentic or has been fabricated, edited, or manipulated after capture. This uncertainty hampers the reliability of visual evidence for insurance claims, legal proceedings, journalism, and delivery verification.
Solution
Rial offers an end‑to‑end infrastructure that cryptographically signs every image at the hardware level, embedding a secure GPS timestamp and a C2PA signature directly on the device. The platform provides real‑time capture verification to certify that a photo originates from a genuine camera at a specific time and location before it leaves the device. For existing images, Rial’s asynchronous analysis detects deep edits, AI‑generated content, and assigns a risk score. An additional content‑matching service cross‑validates textual submissions against visual evidence, flagging inconsistencies and reducing manual review effort. The combined hardware attestation and software analytics deliver tamper‑proof visual data that can be trusted for claims processing, court admissibility, and fraud prevention.
Target Audience
Primary customers are insurance providers, delivery companies, legal teams, and news organizations that require verifiable visual evidence for claims, compliance, and investigative reporting.
