On that same day, [[Dmitry Sklyarov]] gave a presentation at the Confidence 2.0 conference in [[Prague]] demonstrating the flaws.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://201002.confidence.org.pl/prelegenci/dmitry-sklyarov|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181025001307/http://201002.confidence.org.pl/prelegenci/dmitry-sklyarov|title=Dmitry Sklyarov|archive-date=2018-10-25|access-date=2023-08-08}}</ref>  Among others, he showed an image of an astronaut planting a flag of the [[Soviet Union]] on the moon; all the images pass Canon's authenticity verification.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kirk |first1=Jeremy |title=Analyst finds flaws in Canon image verification system |url=https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/369757/analyst_finds_flaws_canon_image_verification_system/ |website=PC World from IDG |publisher=IDG Communications |accessdate=27 September 2019 |date=1 December 2010 |archive-date=27 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190927181108/https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/369757/analyst_finds_flaws_canon_image_verification_system/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Doctorow |first1=Cory |title=Dmitry Sklyarov and co. crack Canon's "image verification" anti-photoshopping tool |url=https://boingboing.net/2010/11/30/dmitry-sklyarov-and.html |website=Boing Boing |accessdate=27 September 2019 |date=30 Nov 2010}}</ref>
