Description

Method and server for performing copyright authentication of digital media by digitally imaging genomic (gene) data

The present invention relates to a methodology and corresponding technology for registering digital images by first melting the original author's genome data when registering digital media (images, videos, drawings, photos, NFTs, etc.) and related technology. It converts genomic (gene) data into RGB hexacode and generates DNA signature images for authentication in the form of various figures (square, circle, rhombus, polygon, etc.) (classified by color, point, length, etc.). A system and method for performing copyright authentication of digital media that can authenticate the original author/owner of the digital media with the added genetic information by integrating the DNA signature image with the digital media.

In the case of non-face-to-face authentication using digital media, there is a problem that photos are stolen or forged/falsified by hackers and abused.

For example, when an auto insurance company checks the mileage or whether a black box is installed and discounts insurance premiums, there are cases where fake photos are sent, and when selling used items, even though you do not have the item to sell, Cases of stealing other people's photos and pretending to be in possession of the object are also increasing.

As cases of forgery or theft of digital media, such as online photos, increase, a method for verifying the legitimacy of digital media is widely demanded. In addition, forgery/falsification of digital images, such as fake photos and malicious manipulation of photos to others, has become a major social problem.

Many papers on signature technology and watermarking technology for authenticating digital images have been published, and commercialized products of several companies have also been released, but the spread of the technology is limited due to the lack of compatibility between different technologies.

In the case of digital media used for minting NFT, even if one minted n NFT digital item is purchased, the copyright of the original is divided by 1/n and is not transferred to the purchaser, and the copyright remains with the creator.

Buyers of NFTs do not have copyrights, so they have no choice but to rely on proof of smart contracts and metadata recorded on the blockchain.

In other words, if the NFT buyer does not transfer the copyright separately according to the contract with the copyright holder, the copyright holder can still create a new NFT and has the right to use, display, and distribute the copyrighted work.

If fraudsters flocking to the NFT market take someone else's work without permission and publish it as an NFT, it becomes a copyright infringement.

NFTs with high public awareness, creator fame, and rarity are easily issued and sold.

However, the proportion of individual creators uploading their own digital graphics to the NFT Marketplace or buying NFT items by individuals to earn profits by reselling already purchased NFTs is also increasing.

Hereinafter, the method of performing digital media copyright authentication by digitally imaging genomic data according to the present invention will be described in various embodiments.

Figure 3a is a flowchart illustrating a method of performing digital media copyright certification by digitally imaging genomic data according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3b is a flowchart illustrating a method of performing copyright authentication of digital media by digitally imaging genomic data according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a schematic diagram of a method of performing copyright authentication.

Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B , a method (S700) of performing copyright authentication of digital media by converting genome data into digital images according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method of authentication with a DNA key + DNA signature image.

First, the user's genome data is uploaded into the platform before digital media is uploaded into the platform from the original creator's terminal 20 (S710).

Thereafter, the information processing web server 100 classifies the uploaded genomic data into Genotype data and allele location information data (S720), converts the Genotype into RGB hexacode, and then converts various figures (square, circle) , rhombus, polygon, etc.) to create a DNA signature image for authentication (classified by color, dot, length, arrangement, etc.), and record and store data (genotype) in the created image (S730).

The S730 process may include converting some or all information of the genome data into RGB Hexa Code based on a Bioinformatics algorithm, and then generating a DNA Signature composed of DNA pixels.

Here, the DNA signature image may represent various genomic data such as reference information and chromosome information used to generate genomic data, but is not limited thereto.

Thereafter, the information processing web server 100 generates a DNA encoding key according to the allele location information, and encodes and stores the corresponding allele location information to be decrypted with the DNA encoding key (S740). That is, within the platform, the original DNA encryption key <-> is matched and stored as a file containing allele location information (ex. SDFKj43jkjdfwwfe2 = genome.vcf.position).

At this time, the metadata of the digital data is not arbitrarily modified.

Next, when the original author terminal 20 uploads the digital media (S750), the information processing web server 100 merges the DNA signature image to be recorded in the uploaded digital media (S760), and merges the merged digital media. The DNA encryption key is stored in metadata (S770).

Then, when authentication is requested from the original author's terminal 20, the information processing web server 100 retrieves the DNA signature image and meta information data of the digital data, decodes them into genome data based on them, and reverses the genome (gene) data. The authentication process is performed through comparison with the original author's genome data that has been produced and registered, and the decrypted genome data is compared with the original author's genome of the corresponding media through a comparison algorithm to confirm whether they match (S780).

Here, the S780 process may include a process of decoding pixels of the DNA signature and combining them with key genomic data stored based on a key registered in the meta information of the digital data to decode individual genotype information.

In addition, in the S780 process, when the two DNA signature images match a certain value or more (eg, 99.9% or more, but is not limited thereto), a process of providing an authentication message certified as the original author's work to the original author's terminal include

Figure 4a is a flow chart explaining a method of performing copyright authentication of digital media by digitally imaging genomic data according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4b is a flowchart illustrating a method of digitally imaging genomic data according to another embodiment of the present invention It is a diagram illustrating a method of performing copyright authentication of digital media.

Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B , a method (S800) of performing copyright authentication of digital media by digitally imaging genomic data according to another embodiment of the present invention may be an authentication method using a DNA key.

First, if the original author's genome data is first uploaded into the platform before digital media is uploaded from the original author's terminal 20 (S810), the original author's genome data uploaded from the information processing web server 100 is encrypted and stored (S820) .

At this time, the information processing web server 100 generates a DNA encryption key suitable for the original author, matches the corresponding original author DNA encryption key <-> genome data file within the platform, and stores it (ex. SDFKj43jkjdfwwfe2 = genome.vcf). The metadata of the data must not be modified arbitrarily.

Next, when digital media is uploaded from the original author's terminal 20 into the platform (S830), the information processing web server 100 assigns a DNA encryption key to the metadata of the digital media and stores it (S840).

When authentication is requested from the original author terminal 20, the information processing web server 100 decodes the DNA signature image and the metadata into genome data, and then reversely produces the genome data and registers the original author's genome data. It is checked whether the intervals match (S850).

Through another embodiment described above, even if another user copies and uses the uploaded digital media, authentication is not possible for other users because the DNA encryption key generated from the original author's genomic data and the original author's genomic data are not matched. .

Afterwards, the original author's genome data and the genome data based on the DNA Key stored in the meta information of the digital media are compared, and if they match more than a certain number (for example, 99.9% or more, but is not limited to this), the work of the original author (in the same context as paternity confirmation).

In addition, the original author uploads not only his genome data but also the genomes of various creatures such as dogs and cats he raises, and if there are several genomes, each of them is made into a DNA key, and selectively selected and applied when uploading digital media make it possible to do

The information processing web server 100 is designed to prevent forgery/falsification of authentication records by recording the generated mode information transactions on a blockchain.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, using a method for digitally imaging genomic data to perform copyright certification of digital media and a server performing the same, digital materials (images, videos, drawings, photos, web documents, NFTs) etc.), there is an advantage in that it can be used for copyright authentication of various digital media uploaded by the user by providing a system that can upload the original author's genome (gene) data first.
