Summary:The rising demand for picture authentication in the modern digital environment is discussed in this study. It acknowledges that picture metadata is susceptible to modification and examines active and passive forensics techniques. In this paper, various techniques within the field of digital image forensics are explored. It includes a review of watermark identification, the application of blockchain technology for metadata integrity, and the use of forensic analysis tools. The paper also recognizes the shortcomings of the methods now in use and suggests ways to enhance them, such as integrating other data, encrypting data, and providing real-time monitoring. The study also stresses the significance of AI-powered solutions and user education for a thorough approach to digital image security. The challenges associated with altering or removing image metadata are also addressed, and innovative solutions to enhance image security and reliability are proposed. In a digitally linked world, integrating these techniques is essential for maintaining image integrity, with implications for everything from law enforcement to the validation of social media posts. The study acknowledges that dangers are dynamic and emphasizes the necessity of constant adaptation to deal with new issues in this important subject.
