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.

Regulatory Reporting for Retail

In the Retail industry, the authenticity of digital media is critical. Create authenticated media reports for regulatory bodies and compliance auditors.

Why Retail Needs Regulatory Reporting

Media authentication and deepfake detection solutions for retail. Retail stores and chains 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, Retail organizations face growing risks from falsified imagery, deepfake videos, and tampered documents. Regulatory Reporting provides a robust solution to verify content integrity and maintain trust.

Product Photo Fraud & Counterfeit Listings

E-commerce platforms and retailers face an epidemic of fraudulent product listings using manipulated or stolen photos. The Global Brand Counterfeiting Report estimates that online counterfeit goods cost legitimate retailers $48 billion annually. A 2024 study by the E-Commerce Foundation found that 31% of marketplace product photos are misleading — showing different items, hiding defects, or using digitally enhanced imagery that misrepresents the actual product. Consumer complaints about products not matching their listing photos increased 156% between 2020-2024. Return rates for products with unverified photos average 28% versus 12% for verified listings. Luxury brands spend an average of $14M annually fighting counterfeit listings that use stolen or AI-generated product photography to deceive buyers into purchasing fake goods.

How It Works

  • Product Photography — Brands seal official product photos at the studio with color profile data, lighting metadata, and batch identifiers to establish the authentic reference.
  • Counterfeit Detection — AI compares marketplace listings against sealed originals to flag stolen product images, altered logos, and counterfeit packaging photos.
  • Consumer Verification — Shoppers scan a QR code on the product page or packaging to confirm the listing photos match the brand-authenticated originals.
  • Brand Protection Log — Every counterfeit detection event is logged with evidence packages ready for marketplace takedown requests and legal proceedings.

Retail Technical Advantages

The platform provides marketplace-specific features including product photo verification badges that display on listings, increasing buyer confidence and click-through rates. AI detection models are trained on retail-specific manipulations: background removal/replacement (96.8% accuracy), color and lighting enhancement beyond acceptable levels (93.2%), object insertion/removal in product shots (95.1%), stock photo detection for products listed as "actual photos" (97.4%), and AI-generated product imagery (96.9%). The API supports bulk verification of entire seller catalogs with up to 100,000 photos per batch job. Pre-built integrations exist for Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and major marketplace APIs (Amazon SP-API, eBay Browse API). The system provides seller reputation scoring based on photo authenticity history. Mobile SDKs enable sellers to capture verified product photos directly from their studio or warehouse with GPS and timestamp proof.
