InReality
InReality provides cryptographic content authentication that signs media at the moment of capture, enabling verification of origin and edit history without relying on AI-based fake detection. The platform integrates with C2PA and CAWG standards and offers a mobile app that creates a content passport for each photo or video. Its non-blockchain architecture supports post-quantum signing for live streaming at smartphone level.

Problem
In a digital landscape flooded with synthetic media and deepfakes, it has become nearly impossible to distinguish authentic content from manipulated or AI-generated material. Existing detection methods are increasingly unreliable as AI advances, leaving industries that depend on visual evidence—such as news, insurance, and legal workflows—vulnerable to fraud and misinformation.
Solution
InReality provides a cryptographic solution that certifies the authenticity of real content rather than attempting to detect fakes. The platform integrates into existing workflows at the point of content capture or upload, analyzing metadata and flagging any edits before cryptographically signing the content with a unique digital signature anchored to a tamper-evident ledger. This signature records any future modification, including cropping or color adjustment, and allows viewers to verify authenticity with a clear content history. The verification extends beyond internal systems, enabling downstream platforms like social networks and CMSs to query the cryptographic system in real time. Unlike blockchain-based approaches, InReality uses a proprietary architecture that delivers the same security guarantees with greater speed, scalability, and respect for data rights such as the right to be forgotten.
Target Audience
Primary customers are news organizations, insurance companies, and media platforms that require verifiable proof of content authenticity to prevent fraud and maintain trust in their workflows, alongside individual consumers who want to verify content they capture and share.
Features
- Cryptographic signing of content at capture or upload, anchored to a tamper-evident ledger that records any subsequent edits
- Non-blockchain architecture providing equivalent security with improved speed, scalability, and compliance with modern data rights
- Integration with C2PA and CAWG standards, adding a specialized security layer that guarantees content was truly captured by a device
- Real-time verification API that allows downstream platforms such as social networks and CMSs to query authenticity
- Post-quantum signing for live streaming at smartphone level, shortlisted for an RTS Technology Award 2026
- Consumer mobile app with content passport showing capture location, timestamp, originator, and full edit history
- Automated metadata analysis that detects edits and prompts users to provide original files before signing
- In-app editing suite that records all changes as part of the content passport, allowing cropping and color tuning while maintaining provable authenticity
