# Authenticator-integrated generative adversarial network (GAN) for secure deepfake generation

- **Patent:** US 12248556
- **Original title:** Authenticator-integrated generative adversarial network (GAN) for secure deepfake generation
- **Owner:** Intel
- **Granted:** 2025
- **Status:** Active
- **Times cited:** 0

## What it does

An apparatus to facilitate an authenticator-integrated generative adversarial network (GAN) for secure deepfake generation is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors to: generate, by a generative neural network, samples based on feedback received from a discriminator neural network and from an authenticator neural network, the generative neural network aiming to trick the discriminator neural network to identify the generated samples as real content samples; digest, by the authenticator neural network, the real content samples, the generated samples from the generative neural network, and an authentication code; embed, by the authenticator neural network, the authentication code into the generated samples from the generative neural network by contributing to a generator loss provided to the generative neural network; generate, by the generative neural network, content comprising the embedded authentication code; and verify, by the authenticator neural network, the content based on the embedded authentication code.
