I think we will need to increasingly rely on cryptographic certifications of authenticity.

Instead of disproving what is fake it will be about proving what is real

What does that mean? That my camera will embed a cryptographic certification into the video?

I suspect people would be able to disassemble a camera and cause it to certify video that originated in a fake news studio.

Yes, the requirement isn't that a piece of media came from some digitally signed hardware, but the process of recording involved (idk) sampling from a real world source.

I don't know how you would do that in the absence of the real world source, since the recording event would no longer exist.
