Klickzie (KLK)

What is Klickzie

Tautachrome, Inc. is an Internet technology company whose top priority is the global deployment of its patentedKlickZieimaging technology platformnow under development and aimed at providing the framework for the universal monetization of the imagery of the global smartphone user. The KlickZie platform will consist of a downloadable KlickZie imaging software package, and a KlickZie support cloud.

The KlickZie imaging software will take over the smartphone’s imaging functionality with powerful C-code. While not an “app” in the usual sense, we will often refer to this software as the KlickZie app.

In a process we call activation, the KlickZie app will transform the imagery created on the user’s device, and will securely store a copy of the transformed imagery on the KlickZie cloud. Together with the KlickZie cloud and under the control of the Imagery’s owner, activation will enable the usage of the imagery together with its certifiable level of trustability, for any pur-pose.

In activation, the device’s imagery, together with any metadata associated with the imagery’s creation, will be specially, robustly and highly undetectably marked as it is made, so that wherever the imagery goes and whatever happens to it will be discoverable by KlickZie but essentially by no one else.

KlickZie activation-marking contains 4 essential elements:

1. First, the marking is invisible so that it doesn’t spoil the utility of the imagery for enjoyment and use.

2. Second, the activationmarking is extremely difficult to extract by anyone exceptKlickZie, making it essentially impossible to spoof. In this way bad actors cannot pose as KlickZie.

3. Third, the marking is distributed throughout the imagery so that we can recognize both that the imagery has been altered if it has been altered, and also how and where in the imagery alteration has taken place.

4. And fourth, the KlickZie marking and imaging processes in the camera will be protected from hacking and reverse engineering so that hackers don’t damage the generation of useful KlickZie imagery.

Activation is the secret sauce of trustability, and the fabric of trust made possible by KlickZie activation is the heart of universal imagery monetization.

Once imagery is activated and uploaded into the internet, trustability becomes a property of the imagery, not of its chain of custody or of by whom or in what way it has been handled. Trusted imagery means that third parties can be certain of the origin of the imagery and its handling, the key elements required for the dynamic usefulness and the broad monetization of imagery.

Activation allows KlickZie to recognize its users’ pictures wherever they show up and to support all manner of monetization associated with them. Under conditions set by the author, third parties can check the trustability of a KlickZie picture or video by touching or clicking the imagery.

All matters related to the monetization of KlickZie imagery are under conditions set by the author and are mediated by touch or click. For example, activated pictures or videos can be used as floating portals of communication between a viewer of the imagery and its author and among viewers using KlickZie’s “Touch to Comm” functionality.

KlickZie uses the term “activated” for its marked imagery because there is so much you can do with such imagery once you have it. You can certify the authenticity and trustability of original imagery, you can determine the nature of changes made to imagery, you can use KlickZie pictures and videos as floating portals of communication among people, you can use it as reliable evidence of when and where it was generated and by whom, and you can find the original imagery from only a fragment.

And most important of all, activation enables the effective identification of KlickZie imagery ownership, the key to the universal monetization of the pictures and videos made by smart digital imaging devices.
