Secure apparatus for automatic collection of indexed images

摘要

The invention concerns an apparatus consisting of a closed and sealed chamber containing a camera, a clock, a satellite positioning system, a gyroscope, a telemeter. The apparatus stores its identity represented by a private key (RSA) and a certificate as long as the apparatus is not tampered with. The identity disappears instantly and irreversibly if the chamber is opened. The photographs and the videos indexed by date, time, place, objective orientation, distance from object are identified by encrypted signature with the private key of the apparatus. The shots are controlled so as to indicate to the operator the time, the place, the orientation, and the distance to observe for each filming/photographing process.
