The Starling Lab is an academic research lab innovating with the latest cryptographic methods and decentralized web protocols to meet the technical and ethical challenges of establishing trust in our most sensitive digital records.

Co-Founded by the Stanford Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) and USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education, Starling Lab focuses on a 3-part framework:

Capture
Starling prototypes mobile apps and camera firmware to authenticate digital content and metadata at the point of capture.

Store
Starling researches how advanced cryptography and decentralized networks can securely distribute and govern content over time.

Verify
Starling experiments with immutable ledgers to register digital content, enabling experts to audit, or verify, the provenance and authenticity of that content.

Starling uses open-source tools, best practices, and case studies to securely capture, store and verify digital content. With applications across news media, historical preservation and legal accountability, the potential use cases for the Starling Framework are numerous.
