Patent ID: 11057538

Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods and systems for tagged-signal verification. Methods include: upon obtaining original content, generating identity and semantic signatures; superposing the identity signature on the content as an in-band digital watermark; utilizing the semantic signature by: superposing on the content or storing; transmitting a tagged signal combining watermark and content; upon receiving the tagged signal with a verification request, extracting transmitted content; extracting the watermark to retrieve a transmitted identity signature; determining the transmitted identity signature is valid by comparing to the original; obtaining the original semantic signature either by: extracting from the watermark, or retrieving a stored version; generating a transmitted semantic signature; verifying the transmitted semantic signature is identical to the original; determining the transmitted content is tamper-free and identical to the original, or has been manipulated; and transmitting a confirmation notification vouching for the authenticity as a genuine version, or designating as a tampered version.
