A Constitutional Root of Trust for Human-Origin Visual Evidence
The constitutional cryptographic root of human-origin visual evidence in the post-AI era.
RHV is a public cryptographic standard defining how visual digital content can prove direct human-origin captureIt introduces the first human-origin cryptographic root of trust for visual evidence in the post-AI era.RHV does not judge content truth. RHV defines cryptographically verifiable human-origin capture.
The erosion of visual evidentiary trust has begun.AI-generated visual content can no longer be reliably distinguished from direct human-origin capture
Digital visual evidence is losing legal, institutional and social credibility.There is currently no constitutional cryptographic root of trust for human-origin visual evidence.
RHV defines cryptographic primitives that allow photos and videos to prove:• direct real human capture
• tamper-proof integrity
•cryptographically verifiable capture time
• publicly verifiable chain of provenance
• auditability via transparency logsThis establishes a human origin root of trust for digital reality.H = HASH(media)
P = SIGN(H || CAPTURETIME || HUMANORIGIN_ATTESTATION)
ID = ANCHOR(P)
RHV Capture proves the concept.RHV defines the primitives that SHALL become native in:• operating systems
• digital cameras
• drones
• professional capture devicesRHV is the constitutional cryptographic layer for human-origin visual evidence.
RHV is defined in collaboration with:• operating system security and platform teams
• browser security and trust architects
• applied cryptography and protocol researchers
• camera, drone, and sensor hardware manufacturers
• insurers, forensic experts, and legal institutions
