What is the International Forensics Image Database (IFID)?
The International Forensics Image Database (IFID) is one of the worlds largest repositories of image hashes/fingerprints. Along with every image hash in the database is a record of who submitted it and what the image was submitted as: safe, sexual, or child pornography. Images hashes in the IFID contain additional information including what website the image came from, convictions that have come from possession of the image, notes about what the image contains, as well as detailed information about the images such as what type of camera the image was captured with and what programs were used to edit the image. All this information is viewable through SurfRecon. The IFID does all of this by merely referencing the image hash value. The IFID contains no images.
