Abstract

The broad availability of tools for the acquisition and processing of multimedia signals has recently led to the concern that
\nimages and videos cannot be considered a trustworthy evidence, since they can be altered rather easily.
\nThis possibility raises the need to verify whether a multimedia content, which can be downloaded from the internet,
\nacquired by a video surveillance system, or received by a digital TV broadcaster, is original or not.
\nTo cope with these issues, signal processing experts have been investigating effective video forensic strategies aimed at
\nreconstructing the processing history of the video data under investigation and validating their origins.
\nThe key assumption of these techniques is that most alterations are not reversible and leave in the reconstructed signal some
\n``footprints'', which can be analyzed in order to identify the previous processing steps.
\n
\nThis paper presents an overview of the video forensic techniques that have been proposed in the literature, focusing on the acquisition, compression,
\nand editing operations, trying to highlight strengths and weaknesses of each solution. It also provides a review of simple processing chains
\nthat combine different operations.
\nAnti-forensic techniques are also considered to outline the current limitations and highlight the open research issues.
