Is there a way that a person could create a QR code made from one-way private key? The QR code would contain date and time and other Metadata that is decrypted with a public key that proved the QR code in the video was made by, for example, the person in the video? This would "prove" the video was real? I guess the speech would still be manipulated. So the whole transcript would have to be encrypted in this way...



I don't know why you're talking about QR codes and transcripting/encrypting the audio when you can just sign the file?

    gpg --sign video.mp4


I assume they are talking about signing/watermarking a video in a way that survives video encoding/lossy transmission. A QR code probably wouldn’t work for various reasons but is an easy mental analogy to think of.


For embedding, you should just put it in the metadata. Encoding it in the video itself... I don't really see the point.
