The invention relates to a method (100) for automatically detecting digital forgery for the purpose of verifying the conformity of a
digital copy (DD) of an official document (OD). Such a method (100) primarily comprises a step (130) of
processing one or more images (DF1, …, DFj, …DFm) extracted from the
digital copy (DD) in order to produce one or more images (DF1', …, DFj', …DFm') expressing a
residual noise, and a step (140) of analysing this
residual noise in order to produce a conformity result (SCj, ASC) in relation to the
digital copy (DD). Such a method (100) is designed to be implemented by the
processing unit of an electronic entity (20) for verifying such conformity, possibly in response to a request from a third-party electronic entity (40) operated by a state or
service provider.
