Abstract

Methods and systems for secure media processing may be used to execute and certify a digital media asset by verifying that the digital media asset is authentic and has not been altered since capture. In some cases, these secure media processing techniques may be used in the mobile certification and execution application and a corresponding server system. The mobile application and the corresponding server system may automatically generate finalized documents upon receiving certified digital media and the corresponding metadata from the users. The digital media and other information from the users may be received while the user is in communication with other users. A biometric and artificial intelligent feature recognition system may be utilized to receive biometric data and verify identity. Data transferred to a secure server are accessible by various parties involved in the certification and execution process to provide transparency.

Claims (42)

1. A method of secure media processing, the method comprising:

receiving, from one or more user devices, a digital media asset and metadata associated with an origin of the digital media asset;

receiving, from the one or more user devices, execution information; and

executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to:

verify that the digital media asset and the metadata are unaltered based on decryption of an encrypted digital signature, the encrypted digital signature having been generated based on the digital media asset and the metadata,

merge the digital media asset and the metadata with the execution information, and

generate an output document that includes the digital media asset, the metadata, and the execution information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital media asset includes a digital document, wherein the origin of the digital media asset includes generation of the digital media asset, and wherein the output document includes a notarized version of the digital document.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes one or more sensor measurements captured using one or more sensors of the one or more user devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the execution information includes at least one of biometric information, a signature, or an identification from the one or more user devices.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the execution information includes an authorization of a notary.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the execution information identifies a time associated with the authorization of the notary.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

encrypting, using asymmetrical encryption, at least one of the digital media asset, the metadata, the execution information, or the output document.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transferring the output document to a secure server.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the secure server is one of a set of one or more computing devices hosting a distributed ledger that includes information corresponding to the output document.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the output document is accessible from a web portal associated with the secure server.

11. A system of secure media processing, the system comprising:

memory that stores instructions;

a transceiver that receives, from one or more user devices, a digital media asset, metadata associated with an origin of the digital media asset, and execution information; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to:

verify that the digital media asset and the metadata are unaltered based on decryption of an encrypted digital signature, the encrypted digital signature having been generated based on the digital media asset and the metadata,

merge the digital media asset and the metadata with the execution information, and

generate a output document that includes the digital media asset, the metadata, and the execution information.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the digital media asset is a digital document, and wherein the output document is a notarized version of the digital document.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the metadata includes one or more sensor measurements captured using one or more sensors of the one or more user devices.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the execution information includes at least one of biometric information, a signature, or an identification from the one or more user devices.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the execution information includes an authorization of a notary.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the execution information identifies a time associated with the authorization of the notary.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the processor further to:

encrypt, using asymmetrical encryption, at least one of the digital media asset, the metadata, the execution information, or the output document.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to:

transfer the output document to a secure server.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor executes further instructions to:

store data associated with the output document in a distributed ledger.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method of secure media processing, the method comprising:

receiving, from one or more user devices, a digital media asset and metadata associated with an origin of the digital media asset;

receiving, from the one or more user devices, execution information;

verifying that the digital media asset and the metadata are unaltered based on decryption of an encrypted digital signature, the encrypted digital signature having been generated based on the digital media asset and the metadata;

merging the digital media asset and the metadata with the execution information; and

generating a output document that includes the digital media asset, the metadata, and the execution information.
