    (Springer, 2023) KSudhama, K.; Siddamsetti, S.G.; G, P.; Chandavarkar, B.R.
    Recent technological advancements have made content modification and recreation easier and practically undetectable without suitable verification techniques. Users can change data from social media with photo, video, and text editing tools and share the updated content in a different context. As a result, online social media platforms are suitable for distributing fake news and misinformation. Misinformation can take several forms, including one or more types of multimedia, such as text, photos, videos. The modified contents provide fake evidence to the user, leading to various misconceptions. Generally, fake news has eye-catching headlines attracting the readers. These are called click-baits. The content of these click-baits often differs from what the headlines suggest. There are also many fake websites whose IP addresses are slightly modified versions of popular news agencies. Users easily get fooled to open the website as its address seems legitimate. These issues indicate the importance of identifying legitimate content creators from non-legitimate ones. This chapter focuses on authenticating the legitimate content creators verified by a trusted entity using certificates and blockchain technology. Also, check for fakeness in their content using natural language processing and image processing techniques. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
