In this episode of the Forensic Focus podcast, Si and Desi are joined by Marco Fontani from Amped Software. Together, they delve into the world of digital image forensics and discuss the use of Amped Authenticate.

Amped Authenticate can be used to uncover the processing history of a digital image, helping to determine whether it can be used as reliable evidence in a court of law. Today’s episode looks at the challenges involved in analysing pictures downloaded from the web or social media platforms, the impact of AI-based processing during capture on modern smartphones, and Authenticate's ability to assist with triage, allowing investigators to quickly filter through large amounts of data to find relevant evidence.
