got a project idea that i kinda need help with
how does one mark a file with some form of data, that is not forgeable, nor tamper with

ill dm the documents for the project if needed, i dont wish to share here
If you want to determine whether or not the file as a whole has been tampered with, the file's MD5 hash will suffice
uh what my issue was, marking a file with a form a data the data not be able to be tampered with, instead of checking if it has been tampered with
im aware that hashing would be able to test if the file has been tampered, but in my project's case, hashing isnt whats needed here ig
im doing stuff with tpm
you can try to make the file itself read only
there's a windows setting for that
and a Linux filesystem option for that
but other than that this isn't really a thing unfortunately :VentiShrug:
yes but the issue with this is, a file should be read write modify, but imma mark a peice content to be read only thats the hard part, ig ill have to think with workarounds
thanks for the advice tho
