DAN HOLDSWORTH: A welcome mobile phone application

Jon,
This would be quite nice to see on mobile phones.

What it does is uses modern encryption to demonstrate that what the camera on a phone is recording is what the sensor saw, and that this hasn't been diddled about with in any way.

If there's a bit of uptake of these sorts of apps, then the days of the insert-a-ghost camera apps are numbered.
