Apparatus for generating trusted image data, an apparatus for authentication of an image and a method for generating trusted image data

A camera for generating trusted image data, the camera comprising:

• an image data generator of the camera configured to generate image data of an image to be taken from a scene;
• a position determiner of the camera configured to determine a position of the camera and configured to provide trust data comprising information on the determined position;
• a clock of the camera configured to add time data or position confidence data to the trust data, wherein the time data indicates a time the position of the camera was determined by the position determiner, which differs from a time the image from the scene was taken, or the position confidence data indicates a confidence level of the determined position based on the time data indicating a time the position of the camera was determined by the position determiner, which differs from a time the image from the scene was taken;
• a processor of the camera configured to generate encrypted image data by encrypting within the camera at least the trust data or characteristic data derivable from at least the trust data, so that an authentication of the image data is enabled based on the encrypted image data;
• and
• an output unit of the camera configured to provide trusted image data comprising the encrypted image data.

A camera for generating trusted image data, the camera comprising:

• an image data generator of the camera configured to generate image data of an image to be taken from a scene;
• a clock of the camera configured to provide trust data representing time data indicating a time, the image is taken;
• a receiver of the camera configured to receive a clock synchronization signal from an external clock, wherein the clock is configured to be synchronized with the external clock based on the clock synchronization signal, wherein the clock is configured to add synchronization data or time confidence data to the trust data, wherein the synchronization data indicates a time, the time of the clock was synchronized most recently, or the time confidence data indicates a confidence level of the time data based on the synchronization data indicating a time, the time of the clock was synchronized most recently;
• and
• a processor of the camera configured to generate encrypted image data by encrypting within the camera at least the trust data or characteristic data derivable from at least the trust data, so that an authentication of the image data is enabled based on the encrypted image data;
• and
• an output unit of the camera configured to provide trusted image data comprising the encrypted image data.
