InReality provides cryptographic content authentication that verifies photos, videos, and audio are genuine and unmanipulated. The platform signs content at capture or upload with tamper-evident digital signatures anchored to a non-blockchain ledger, enabling independent verification without AI-based detection. It integrates with C2PA and CAWG standards, making it suitable for news organizations and insurers that require proof of authenticity.

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.
