Part of our intellectual property (IP) in the start-up where I'm working, is just that. Our digital photography "engine" will indelibly mark every digital image scanned, from the CMOS or CCD sensor, so that ownership can be proven. It cannot be erased or modified. It is done within the chip logic. The scanned image comes out "signed". The signature identifies the creator and is an indelible part of the image. I'm not going to go into the details here, and I won't answer any questions, as the details are not public yet (Patent applied for). You can see what we are doing at http://www.photoaccess.com .
