Systems and methods for authenticating an image

An image capturing device, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• capture image data for processing to form an image,
• perform a hashing procedure on the image data,
• wherein the hashing procedure generates a hash value of the image data;
• determine one or more attributes of the image data;
• generate an image authentication message that includes the hash value and an indication of the one or more attributes of the image data;
• wherein the hash value of the image data is to be used by an image authentication device to validate the image based on a request to authenticate the image received from a receiving device, and
• wherein the one or more attributes of the image data are to be available to send, by the image authentication device, to the receiving device based on a successful authentication of the image;
• provide, to the image authentication device, the image authentication message;
• and
• provide, after providing the hash value of the image data to the image authentication device, the image for modification by a user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• capture image data for processing to form an image,
• perform a hashing procedure on the image data,
• wherein performing the hashing procedure generates a hash value of the image data;
• generate an image authentication message that includes the hash value;
• wherein the hash value of the image data is to be used to validate the image based on a request to authenticate the image;
• add a digital signature to the image authentication message using a private key of an image capturing device,
• wherein the digital signature is to be used to verify the image capturing device as a source of the hash value of the image data;
• provide, to an image authentication device, the image authentication message;
• and
• provide, after providing the hash value of the image data to the image authentication device, the image for display to a user.
