How it works

Three steps to verified media

01

Seal

Capture media with your phone or upload via API. Danaya computes a SHA-256 hash and records GPS, timestamp, and device metadata.creating a tamper-proof digital seal.

Each media file is hashed using SHA-256. The hash, GPS coordinates, and atomic timestamp are signed with HMAC to create a unique cryptographic seal.
02

Analyze

Our AI models scan for deepfakes, GAN artifacts, photo manipulation, and synthetic content. Get a confidence score and detailed forensic report in seconds.

A unique short ID is generated for each seal, embedded in a QR code and a shareable URL pointing to the public verification page.
03

Verify

Share a verification link or QR code. Anyone can instantly verify the seal.no account needed. The hash is compared and authenticity is confirmed or denied.

Verification recomputes the hash of the original file and compares it to the stored seal. The HMAC signature ensures the seal itself has not been tampered with.

Good to know

To verify a sealed photo or video, you need to send the original file to the recipient. They can then scan the QR code or use the verification link.

A photo or video can only be sealed once, at the moment of capture. Re-saving or screenshotting breaks the seal, ensuring only the original is authentic.

AR Content Authentication for Tourism

In the Tourism industry, the authenticity of digital media is critical. Authenticate AR content to ensure accurate spatial computing applications.

Why Tourism Needs AR Content Authentication

Media authentication and deepfake detection solutions for tourism. Tourism and travel companies use Danaya to verify content authenticity, detect AI-generated media, and maintain digital trust. With the rise of AI-generated content and sophisticated manipulation tools, Tourism organizations face growing risks from falsified imagery, deepfake videos, and tampered documents. AR Content Authentication provides a robust solution to verify content integrity and maintain trust.

Property & Experience Photo Misrepresentation

The hospitality industry faces widespread photo fraud that erodes traveler trust and generates costly disputes. A TripAdvisor study found that 34% of hotel photos are significantly enhanced or misleading, while Airbnb reports processing 2.1 million guest complaints annually related to properties not matching listing photos. Fake review photos cost the hospitality industry an estimated $3.9 billion in lost bookings and refunds per year. Restaurant photo manipulation — digitally enhanced food photography, borrowed interior shots from other establishments — affects 22% of online restaurant listings according to Yelp data. Event venues face increasing challenges from AI-generated promotional imagery that misrepresents capacity, views, and amenities, leading to cancellation rates 3x higher than venues with verified photos.

How It Works

  • Property Photo Seal — Hotels and rental hosts seal room photos, amenity shots, and exterior views with GPS, floor plan references, and date-of-capture metadata.
  • Listing Integrity Check — AI flags listings where photos have been digitally enhanced — sky replacements, pool additions, room size manipulation, and view alterations.
  • Guest Verification Badge — Travelers see a verified badge on booking platforms confirming that listing photos are authenticated and match the actual property.
  • Review Photo Screening — Guest-submitted review photos are screened for manipulation before publication, preventing fake negative reviews with altered images.

Hospitality Technical Advantages

The platform provides hospitality-specific features including 360° photo and virtual tour sealing, room-by-room photo verification workflows, and seasonal photo dating to prevent outdated listing images. AI detection models are trained for hospitality content: digitally enhanced property photos (96.5% accuracy), borrowed/stolen property images from other listings (94.8%), AI-generated room renderings passed as photos (97.1%), and food photo manipulation in restaurant listings (93.9%). Integration with major OTA platforms (Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor) and PMS systems (Opera, Cloudbeds, Guesty) enables automatic verification badge display. The system supports multi-property management with centralized dashboards for brand standards compliance. Weather and daylight verification confirms photos were taken at the claimed property location and time.

AR Content Authentication Use Cases in Tourism

Professionals in Tourism use Danaya's AR Content Authentication capabilities to:

  • Detect digitally enhanced hotel listing photos with added pools, expanded rooms, or fabricated ocean views
  • Verify vacation rental photos are current and not recycled from years-old listings of different properties
  • Screen restaurant review photos for fake negative images submitted by competitors or disgruntled patrons
  • Authenticate tour operator activity photos to prevent misleading advertising with stock or stolen imagery
  • Seal event venue setup photos with timestamps proving the contracted decor and layout were actually delivered

Hospitality Implementation Results

An international hotel chain with 4,200 properties deployed the photo verification system for all online listing images, sealing 6.8M property photos across 89 countries. Guest complaints about misleading photos decreased by 63%, and booking cancellation rates dropped by 28%. Properties with verified photo badges saw 37% higher click-through rates and 18% more direct bookings. A major vacation rental platform integrated the API to verify host-uploaded property photos at listing creation, processing 1.2M new listings monthly. Misleading listings were reduced by 54%, guest satisfaction scores improved by 0.8 points on average, and dispute-related refunds decreased by $89M annually. A restaurant review platform uses the system to verify user-submitted food and interior photos, with verified reviews receiving 2.4x more engagement than unverified ones.
