Leak claims iPhone 18 Pro signs photos at sensor level with quantum-safe crypto to beat AI fakes
jackedAJ · x · 2026-09-17
A leak describes what it calls god-tier anti-AI engineering in the iPhone 18 Pro camera pipeline:
- The sensor itself signs pixels, not the software, preventing tampering at the source
- Two timestamps (lower and upper bound) prove when a photo was taken
- Anonymity preserved: no public identity or device ID is tied to the photo
- Quantum-safe signatures using RSA-3072 + ML-DSA-87
- Verification runs in private cloud compute, so even Apple can't see the content
- Fraudulent photos can be revoked retroactively, per photo or per entire sensor
- Entirely opt-in; normal photos stay unchanged
This is an unverified claim, not an official Apple announcement.
