Audio Authentication
Definition
Assessment of consistency with the alleged manner of recording production, with stated limits. Preserve the authoritative recording and document acquisition, versions and analysis. Authentication assesses particular claimed histories using suitable technical observations.
- Context
- Recorded evidence
For example, an apparent discontinuity can be assessed against recording-system behaviour and processing history rather than being assumed to prove editing.
No single feature proves that a recording was never edited. Distinguish the tested claim, original material and any derivative used for listening or presentation.
