Why Use Digital Signatures to Identify Images and Videos?

By using digital signatures to uniquely identify images and videos, SurfRecon can,

1. store millions of digital signatures in a small file. it would be nearly impossible to create a database large enough to house the billions of images on the Internet. Digital signatures, on the other hand, are extremely small. It is much faster to compare digital signatures than it is entire image files.

By only referencing the digital signatures, SurfRecon can quickly scan a computer and compare the images and videos to the SurfRecon database.

2. rapidly scan images and retrieve associatied information.

3. be used to fight child pornography without storing the images.
