The authenticity and integrity of multimedia con- tent, including photos and videos, have become crucial in the age of the explosion of digital information. Concerns about the relia- bility of visual information have increased with the emergence of sophisticated tools for picture and video manipulation. Through a thorough investigation of multimedia forensics and an emphasis on the authentication of images and videos, our research aims to address these concerns. Through a thorough examination of the available literature and methodological analysis, this study digs into the diverse world of multimedia forensics. It examines the methods, algorithms, and strategies now in use for identifying modifications, digital forgeries, and tampering with photographs and videos. This review goes beyond the theoretical to offer useful approaches and ideas for judging the reliability of multimedia content in a variety of settings, including journalism, forensics, and the examination of digital evidence. The complexity of mul- timedia authenticity verification is explained in this study, which adds to the continuing conversation on digital media integrity and security. The conclusions and methodologies discussed here not only contribute to preserving the credibility of multimedia content but also have implications for improving digital forensic investigations, safeguarding intellectual property, and enhancing the reliability of visual data in the digital age. This study is an important resource for academics, professionals, and decision- makers who are debating how to uphold authenticity and trust in our visual media landscape as the lines between reality and digital representation become more and more hazy.
