Years ago, I think Canon offered some kind of in-camera file format that 
supposedly could prove that the file had not been tampered with.  Eventually 
exploits were found that rendered it unreliable.

   I suppose if you were going to engineer a spec like that today you'd have 
each camera have it's own key that it used (maybe alongside a baked-in 
manufacturer key) to sign the relevant guts of RAW files of each shot it took.  
But this would really only be useful in a true forensics type situation, as 
most photographers end up editing and altering photos with programs like 
Lightroom before they call them "done".   


As it is, most of the time people look for image tampering not through 
signatures but rather by looking for telltale signs of the artifacts left 
behind by common forms of tampering.  https://belkasoft.com/forgery-detection
