Sony is reportedly planning to equip its next-generation Xperia smartphone with the world’s first in-camera digital signature technology. This new feature will allow users to digitally sign captured images within the camera, ensuring their authenticity and preventing tampering.

The technology was first announced by Sony earlier this month. It is currently being added to the company’s full-frame mirrorless single-lens cameras, the α9 III, α1, and α7S III, through a future software update. However, there is no word on whether or not it will be available for smartphones.

A new rumor now suggests that digital signature technology is expected to be a key feature of the next-generation Xperia 1 VI / 5 VI smartphone, which is rumored to be released sometime in 2024. 

For those wondering, in-camera digital signature technology is a way of ensuring the authenticity of photos and videos by embedding a digital signature within the image file. This signature is created using a unique cryptographic key that is associated with the camera.

Once a photo or video has been taken, the signature is embedded within the file. This signature can then be used to verify that the image has not been tampered with.

The in-camera digital signature technology is expected to be particularly useful for professionals who need to ensure the authenticity of their images. 

For example, journalists could use the technology to verify the authenticity of photos they take in the field. Additionally, the technology could be used to protect images from copyright infringement.

Since the technology has been successfully integrated into Sony’s DSLR cameras, it is logical for Sony to incorporate it into their smartphones as well.
