Author : Santhosh kumar adla, Sherla mounika, Padmavath hanuma kiran
Abstract :
The rise of fake news, disinformation campaigns, and deep fakes has led to a crisis of trust in digital content. This project proposes leveraging distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) and blockchain to develop a robust system to counter digital deception and authenticate content. The focus lies in creating a decentralized, tamper-proof infrastructure to verify the authenticity of information in the digital realm. The rise of ubiquitous deepfakes, misinformation, disinformation, and post-truth, often referred to as fake news, raises concerns over the role of the Internet and social media in modern democratic societies. Due to its rapid and widespread diffusion, digital deception has not only an individual or societal cost, but it can lead to significant economic losses or to risks to national security. Blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) guarantee the provenance and traceability of data by providing a transparent, immutable, and verifiable record of transactions
