Overview¶

InformaCam, part of the SecureSmartCam suite of mobile apps, is a tool that allows users to embed expansive metadata into video or still images; encrypt media to trusted destinations using PGP; and securely upload media to trusted destinations using Tor. Our current work encompasses the following:

• an Android app capable of generating images and video according to the InformaCam specification
• desktop software that can decrypt, decode, and visualize media generated by the app
• a system of safely accepting and storing InformaCam media as submitted by app users

These modules are enumerated in our various Stack documents in this wiki.

Two additional critical components of the InformaCam system are the metadata formats we use for media and organizations:

• JSON Mobile Media Metadata (J3M)
• InformaCam Trusted Destination (ICTD)

Partners¶
