possible to hardware hack to create a deep fake and simply pass it though the camera CCD to get it be crypto signed.


Or just take-a-picture-of-a-picture. It's possible to do such things much more convincingly than when Trump tweeted out that classified satellite pic in 2019 with a flash visible in the middle of it.


Satellite imagery suffers from sunlight glint that oversaturates the CCD. That isn't a mark of a fake.


Sure, okay. I was just following what I had thought to be the widely accepted narrative on this, eg:

"CNBC reported that Trump was shown the photo during the briefing. A flash visible in the center of the image suggests Trump or someone else took a photo of the original image — which Hanham says might have been the intelligence briefing slide."

In any case, the point is that with proper staging, you could absolutely take a picture-of-a-picture in a way that would result in the image being marked as genuine and untampered, even accounting for the signing info including a GPS-based time- and position-stamp and including camera details like focal length.
