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.

ISO 27001 Compliance for Museums

In the Museums industry, the authenticity of digital media is critical. Implement media integrity controls aligned with ISO 27001 information security standards.

Why Museums Needs ISO 27001 Compliance

Media authentication and deepfake detection solutions for museums. Museums and galleries 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, Museums organizations face growing risks from falsified imagery, deepfake videos, and tampered documents. ISO 27001 Compliance provides a robust solution to verify content integrity and maintain trust.

Academic Integrity Under Threat

Research institutions face a growing crisis of image manipulation in scientific publications. A 2024 study in Science found that an estimated 2% of published biomedical papers contain manipulated figures — affecting over 50,000 papers annually. AI image generators now produce synthetic lab results, microscopy images, and charts that pass peer review 39% of the time according to a Stanford integrity audit. Universities process over 4.5 million thesis submissions globally each year, with plagiarism detection tools unable to flag AI-generated visual content. Research fraud costs an estimated $2 billion annually in retracted publications, repeated experiments, and lost grant funding. Institutions like the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) report a 340% increase in image manipulation cases since 2020.

How It Works

  • Research Data Seal — Lab photos, field observations, and experimental data are sealed at the point of collection with researcher ID, instrument metadata, and timestamps.
  • Submission Screening — AI scans submitted images in academic papers for figure manipulation — duplicated gel bands, spliced micrographs, and altered graphs.
  • Peer Review Badge — Verified figures receive a certification badge that reviewers and readers can click to confirm the image has not been altered since capture.
  • Institutional Repository — Sealed research data enters the university repository with provenance records meeting NIH, NSF, and journal data integrity policies.

Research Integrity Technical Advantages

The platform supports all scientific image formats including TIFF (16/32-bit), DICOM, NIfTI, CZI (Zeiss), and ND2 (Nikon) microscopy formats with lossless hash computation. Specialized AI classifiers detect common research image manipulations: Western blot splicing (95.2% accuracy), fluorescence microscopy duplication (93.8%), histogram equalization artifacts (91.7%), and GAN-generated cell imagery (96.4%). The system integrates with major manuscript management platforms (ScholarOne, Editorial Manager, OJS) via API plugins. Batch processing handles entire manuscript figure sets in under 60 seconds. The verification dashboard provides journal editors with forensic reports formatted for ORI-compliant investigations. University licensing supports unlimited users per institution with SSO integration for SAML/Shibboleth federation. The system preserves original image metadata including acquisition parameters critical for reproducibility.

ISO 27001 Compliance Use Cases in Museums

Professionals in Museums use Danaya's ISO 27001 Compliance capabilities to:

  • Screen submitted academic paper figures for duplicated gel bands and spliced western blot images
  • Verify field research photographs have authentic GPS coordinates matching claimed study locations
  • Detect AI-generated graphs and fabricated data visualizations in grant application materials
  • Seal thesis defense presentation slides and original research images for plagiarism disputes
  • Authenticate student assignment submissions to detect AI-generated images passed off as original work

Academic Implementation Results

A consortium of 12 research universities deployed the authentication system across their publication pipelines, scanning 1.8M research images in the first year. The system flagged 4,200 papers with suspected image manipulation before publication — a 94% improvement over manual screening. Average detection time dropped from 14 days per paper to under 3 minutes. A top-5 scientific publisher integrated the API into their manuscript submission portal, processing 890,000 figure submissions annually. Manipulated images are now detected at submission with 96.3% accuracy, preventing an estimated 2,100 fraudulent papers from entering the literature each year. Peer reviewer time spent on image verification decreased by 78%, saving $3.2M in annual review costs. A national research funding agency uses the platform to verify all grant application supporting images, reducing fraudulent applications by 41% and saving $18M in misallocated grant funding.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1What is ISO 27001 Compliance for museums?
ISO 27001 Compliance for Museums uses cryptographic seals and AI analysis to verify the authenticity of digital media. It helps Museums professionals detect manipulated content, prove media integrity, and maintain trust.
2How does Danaya detect deepfakes and AI-generated content?
Danaya identifies manipulated research imagery such as duplicated gel bands, spliced microscopy composites, and AI-generated data visualizations in academic submissions. It also detects synthetic student ID photos and fabricated credential documents used in admissions fraud.
3Is Danaya's ISO 27001 Compliance legally admissible as evidence?
Danaya creates tamper-evident records with SHA-256 cryptographic hashes, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device metadata. These sealed records provide strong evidence of content integrity and are designed to meet evidentiary standards for legal proceedings. In Museums, this level of verification meets industry-specific regulatory and compliance requirements.
4How quickly can I verify media authenticity?
Verification completes in seconds, allowing peer reviewers to check figure authenticity before manuscript acceptance. Universities can batch-process credential images during enrollment periods, verifying thousands of applicant documents in a single overnight run.
5Can I integrate ISO 27001 Compliance into my museums platform?
Yes. Danaya provides a RESTful API that lets you integrate media authentication directly into your platform or workflow. The API supports sealing, verification, AI analysis, and batch processing with comprehensive documentation and SDKs. Many Museums organizations have successfully integrated Danaya into their existing systems within days.
6What types of media does Danaya support?
Danaya supports academic media including high-resolution TIFF and PNG microscopy images, JPEG and PDF figures from publications, and video recordings of experiments in MP4 and MOV. Scanned diplomas, transcripts, and credential documents in PDF and JPEG are also verifiable.
