What does Tamper-Evident mean?
Tamper-evident means that if something has been tampered with, there will be clear evidence that it has been interfered with. You may see this on envelopes or food packaging, but this applies to digital content authenticity as well. Cryptography adds a tamper-evident layer of protection to a document, ensuring that it has not been altered in any way, such as photo manipulation or editing metadata.
This can take the form of digital signatures, hashing, watermarking, and encryption, all of which come with their own specific techniques. This technology can also be used across a variety of digital media formats such as documents, images, audio files, and video.
