Filmmakers Ask Nikon and Canon to Sell Encrypted Cameras
I&#x27;m not certain this has been thought through sufficiently.  If an organization is in a position to confiscate the camera from a journalist, they&#x27;re almost certainly ALSO in a position to extract the encryption password from the journalist.<p>It would be far better if the cameras automatically uploaded these photos[0], and could be configured to upload them somewhere outside of hostile reach, such as servers owned by the magazine&#x2F;paper they work for.<p>A side issue is that being able to prove authenticity would be valuable, as the issue of faked news&#x2F;images becomes more visible in the eyes of the general public.  Having some sort of GPG signing of (image + gps time + gps position) would be valuable, although establishing the trust chain in practice would be quite difficult and requires some serious thought.<p>0: Yes, there&#x27;s a question of how you get internet access in places such as the middle of a warzone, but something generic like wifi would allow individual papers to provide something like a satellite wifi bridge to enable uploads regardless of location (although the cost would obviously be large).
