Abstract
The present chapter investigates content authentication strategies and their use in media practice. Remarkable research progress has been conducted on media veracity methods and algorithms, however, without providing that much straightforward tools to users involved in real-world applications. Hence, there is an urgent need for further supporting content verification by exploiting all the available methods in properly integrated online environments, forming a Media Authentication Network. On-demand training (and feedback) on these technologies is considered of major importance, enabling users to collaborate with media and forgery experts towards adoption, refinement and widespread dissemination of best practices. Better comprehension of the involved tools and algorithms would propel their broad exploitation in practice, gaining valuable feedback for further improvements. Thus, a continuously updated online repository, containing documented examples, learning resources and media veracity tools, could be adaptively accommodated, better supporting various users and applications needs.
