you could send all your edited images to competitions or agencys who only accept images who are tagged as "original".
or good to know when you are facing a lawsuite....
i wonder if CANON will replace the expensive Original Data Security Kits hardware.
updating the hardware will not to work as ist seems:
it´s a shame that canon has not informed the people who trust them and bought these expensive Data Security Kit hardware.
CANON knows this problem since september.
i would want my money back... at least when i bought the Data Security Kit after september 2010.

ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. has discovered vulnerability in Canon Original Data Security, a verification system to provide image data verification features intended to authenticate image originality. The vulnerability allows extracting the original signing key from a Canon digital camera and using the key to put an authenticity signature to a photo or any digital image, which will be validated as an original and authentic.
The vulnerability discovered by ElcomSoft questions the authenticity of all Canon signed photographic evidence and published photos, and effectively proves the entire Canon Original Data Security system useless.

Summary: What Canon can do?
• With currently available models – nothing
• With future models:
– Implement HMAC calculation in
cryptoprocessor which does not expose
secret key
– Prevent camera from running non-Canon’s
code to avoid illegal usage of cryptoprocessor
• Hire people who really understands
security
