> I can't wait to see Apple Verified™ photos of UFOs flying over the Golden Gate Bridge.

While I'm on board with you about the inabsolute security of this (relative to what's typically expected of cryptographic systems), the fact that their 'verified' state requires a live certification and can be revoked means that the sensor responsible for obviously faked images will see those images and that device no longer certified.

It all relies a lot on trust in Apple, and integration with Apple, and relatively unmotivated attackers.
