Blockchains (smart contracts, distributed ledgers) and rights management broadly construed are the themes of today's Spotlight Applications. Assigned to Attestiv, the first application discloses techniques for authenticating a digital media asset, and particularly to verifying the authenticity of digital image or video files which may have been redacted or otherwise altered in some way. Assigned to Conectate Soluciones Y Aplicaciones SL (Connect Health) (ES), the second application discloses techniques for universal registration and identification of legal procedures.

Abstract
Techniques for authenticating digital media asset, and particularly to verifying the authenticity of digital image or video files which may have been redacted or otherwise altered in some way. The approach, which we call perceptual video fingerprinting, compares media assets based on what humans perceive, rather than exactly which bits match, by using neural network algorithms.

Abstract
A method of universal registration and identification of legal procedures and related parties and/or component parts to achieve the unification of the identification of legal procedures, allowing an individual or organization to carry the data related to their legal procedures, the verification of the related data, the assignation of access rights for accessing the data, as well as the unification of the history of procedures and documents. The generation of a unique and non-transferable public identifier for each legal procedure and also for each related part and it consists of different fields (some of the fields are mandatory and others are optional) combining URN, UUID, OID and DID formats. An entity such as an individual, an organization or a digital service can verify the authenticity of both the identifier of a legal procedure, of the DID document associated and of the data associated with said identifier.
