Title: Digital Noise Links Image to Camera
Post by texfrost on May 4^th, 2006 at 9:11pm

Interesint way to tell which digital camera a picture came from. Looks like people are going to have to start to look elsewhere for thier kiddie pr0n. Especially with myspace possibly having to up thier age limit. (Not that it will help much)

Just like matching a bullet to the gun that fired it, a new technique matches a digital image to the camera that snapped it.

That's a really, really bad example. Ballistic fingerprinting is a hit-or-miss technology, and it hardly constitutes an exact science.
