What is Apples “NeuralHash” exactly?

2 pointsby redmalmost 4 years ago
From what I can tell, Apple&#x27;s CSAM scans iCloud uploads with its local database reports the hits to iCloud. If iCloud see&#x27;s 30 hits or so, Apple manually reviews it. [1]<p>What isn&#x27;t clear is the &quot;NueralHash&quot;. Is this just a perceptual hash they have renamed? If so, I wonder how they created these since the NCMEC database isn&#x27;t perceptual hashes. Does that mean they accessed the original content to create their &quot;NeuralHash&quot; database?<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=OQUO1DSwYN0
