Identify the device. Verify the evidence. Strengthen your case.
In investigations, proving that a photo or video was taken with a specific device is critical. Ariane delivers fast, on-site forensic analysis using PRNU fingerprinting – the gold-standard method for unequivocally linking media files to their source camera.
Designed for law enforcement agencies that need decentralized, field-ready tools to accelerate investigations while reducing reliance on central labs.
Why Ariane Matters
Modern investigations face complex challenges: perpetrators share devices, mix photo archives, and manipulate evidence. Traditional forensics is often slow and centralized.
Ariane puts powerful camera identification directly into investigators’ hands – enabling immediate, on-site verification of the origins of images and videos.
Key Advantages
- Fast PRNU-based camera fingerprinting
- Decentralized workflow for field use
- Clear classification: “Matches registered device” or “Originates elsewhere.”
- Supports both photos and videos
- Scalable: filters routine cases and frees central labs for complex work
- Privacy-compliant and secure by design
How Ariane Works
1. Device Registration (Enrollment)
Investigators register a seized or suspect device by capturing several reference photos. Ariane computes a stable, unique PRNU fingerprint and stores it securely. The device is now enrolled as a verifiable source.
2. Media Analysis & Classification
Upload photos or videos from the device or external sources. Ariane compares each file against enrolled fingerprints and delivers a clear result:
- Match → Irrefutably linked to the registered camera
- No Match → Originates from a different device (critical for uncovering networks)
Real-World Applications
1. Evidence Securing During Raids
Scenario: Multiple smartphones are seized. Incriminating images are found on one device.
With Ariane: Register the device on-site, analyze all media files, and immediately classify which photos belong to that exact camera – strengthening the chain-of-custody and revealing transferred accomplice material.
2. Uncovering Perpetrator Networks
Scenario: Overlapping photo archives appear across several suspects’ devices.
With Ariane: Cross-reference media against all enrolled devices. A photo found on Device A but matching Device B’s fingerprint provides forensic proof of direct connections between suspects.
3. Authenticity Verification in Court
Scenario: Defense claims a video was manipulated or planted.
With Ariane: Check PRNU consistency. A matching fingerprint strengthens credibility; inconsistencies or mismatches cast doubt and support expert testimony.
Decentralized Forensics – Built for the Field
Ariane shifts forensic capabilities directly from central labs to investigating officers. This results in:
