'''Perceptual hashing''' is the use of an [[fingerprinting algorithm]] that produces a snippet or [[Fingerprint (computing)|fingerprint]] of various forms of [[multimedia]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Buldas|first1=Ahto|last2=Kroonmaa|first2=Andres|last3=Laanoja|first3=Risto|editor-last=Riis|editor-first=Nielson H.|editor-last2=Gollmann|editor-first2=D.|title=Secure IT Systems.

Global per-second hash trees are created and their root hash values published. We discuss some service quality issues that arise in practical implementation of the service and present solutions for avoiding single points of failure and guaranteeing a service with reasonable and stable delay. Guardtime AS has been operating a KSI Infrastructure for 5 years. We summarize how the KSI Infrastructure is built, and the lessons learned during the operational period of the service.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last1=Klinger | first1=Evan | last2=Starkweather | first2=David |title=pHash.org: Home of pHash, the open source perceptual hash library | website=pHash.org | url=http://www.phash.org/ | ref={{sfnref | pHash.org}} | access-date=2018-07-05|quote=pHash is an open source software library released under the GPLv3 license that implements several perceptual hashing algorithms, and provides a C-like API to use those functions in your own programs. pHash itself is written in C++.}}</ref> A perceptual [[hash function|hash]] is a type of [[locality-sensitive hash]], which is analogous if [[feature vector|features]] of the multimedia are similar. This is not to be confused with [[Cryptographic hash function|cryptographic hashing]], which relies on the [[avalanche effect]] of a small change in input value creating a drastic change in output value. Perceptual hash functions are widely used in finding cases of online [[copyright infringement]] as well as in [[digital forensics]] because of the ability to have a correlation between hashes so similar data can be found (for instance with a differing [[Digital watermark|watermark]]).

The system proposed performs better than current [[video hash]]ing techniques in terms of both identification and authentication.
