Yup. I think in the future this will be expanded: there will be cryptographically verified sensors that sign their images (or other products) with a unique key that represents a "trusted" sensor. Fabricating keys or modifying sensors will carry extremely harsh penalties.

Yeah this is my thoughts to, I think 3 key innovation/techs will play a key role, first being further developments in wireless Internet to the point it is everywhere, we wil all want this for everything.

Second will be quantum computing , which will provide encryption and verification.

The last will be a digital passport, this will provide authentication which by the time it exists the idea of being anonymous or not being able to be verified will seem alien to us than.

Yep. We already have digital ID in my country, although using it if you're a third party is still hard enough that EG Twitter won't allow you to use it to verify yourself. Which is a pity, because I'd much rather trust Twitter with a "verified" message from the government than a scan of my ID card.
