Authentication Module for Sensor Data

A camera) for recording still or moving images, comprising:

• at least one image sensor;
• and
• an authentication module for a time series of sensor data, comprising:
• at least one data interface which can be connected to at least one sensor;
• an authentication interface and an authentication logic which is coupled to the data interface and the authentication interface, wherein the authentication logic is configured to:
• receive at least one data set via the at least one data interface from at least one sensor,
• form one or more compressed products from one or more received data sets,
• create an authentication which contains the compressed products and respectively contains a reference to the associated data set, or at least a part of the associated data set, and
• output the authentication via the authentication interface;
• wherein the data interface is coupled to the image sensor.

A computer program containing machine-readable instructions which, when executed on a computer or on an embedded system, or on a camera, or on another sensor device, upgrade the computer, the embedded system, the camera, or the other sensor device to function as an authentication module configured to:

• receive at least one data set via at least one data interface from at least one sensor,
• form one or more compressed products from one or more received data sets,
• create an authentication which contains the compressed products and respectively contains a reference to the associated data set, or at least a part of the associated data set, and
• output the authentication via the authentication interface.
