Having shown that Canon's image verification scheme is flawed in 2010, ElcomSoft has now shown a similar vulnerability in Nikon's Image Authentication System. They were able to extract the original signing key from a Nikon camera, thus enabling the creation of amusing fakes to demonstrate the problem.
All past and current digital SLR cameras manufactured by Nikon and supporting Image Authentication are affected, including Nikon D3X, D3, D700, D300S, D300, D2Xs, D2X, D2Hs, and D200 digital SLRs.
