New Technology Performed on Digital Recordings

I would like to comment on an article from www.digg.com titled “met lab claims biggest breakthrough since Watergate”. This was about a new digital forensics tool that can be used to tell if recordings both audio and video are authentic. It took months to check the Watergate tapes to prove there were gaps in them. With this new technology the same test can be done in 10 to 12 minutes. If authenticate a recording could be used as evidence in court. This technology has been made possible by the move to digital recording. We should be aware that this technology can also invade our privacy.
