Abstract
The use of digital images in journalism and as evidence in the court of law for crime investigation and law enforcement are some application areas where it is extremely important to ensure authenticity of the images being used. Wide availability of sophisticated image processing software has simplified image manipulation. Image forensics deals with the study of the images to reconstruct their history and detect if it has undergone some intentional or unintentional modifications. This paper presents an introductory overview of the digital image forensics and its counterpart aiming to help the beginners understand their alliance so as to develop robust forensic tools against intentional and unintentional attacks on the multimedia. A brief look into counter anti-forensics is also presented in this paper.
