The maven project: Management and Authenticity Verification of multimedia contents

MAVEN (Management and Authenticity Verification of multimedia contENts) is a European FP7 Project focused on the development of a suite of tools for multimedia data management and security. MAVEN objectives are centered on two key concepts, search and verify, integrated in a coherent manner: the system first searches for digital contents containing objects of interest and then applies advanced forensic analysis tools to verify their integrity and authenticity. These capabilities have been developed as a single software framework, and the project also involves the implementation of a prototype demonstrator application, which brings to the end user the possibility of searching for specific contents in media while verifying their authenticity.
