Microsoft develops Photo DNA software
Saw this in USA news yesterday and thought I'd share it with yall,
Microsoft Develops Photo DNA Software
http://<u><a href="http://media.busi...0.html</a></u>
Microsoft has developed Photo DNA, a sophisticated piece of software that breaks down a single image into a grid like structure, similar to fingerprints. With this technology, they can scan internet postings, photo archives, social network sites, blogs, etc. for child pornography.
This technology has been around less than 5 years now but is now entering the private sector. Although, there is no client version available just yet, the possibilites are endless, albeit its very new, it's still under active development.
