Fingerprinting your photos

According to this website your digital camera can be fingerprinted i.e. they can match photos to a particular camera.

“A new technique matches a digital image to the camera that snapped it, scientists say, just like matching a bullet to the gun that fired it. Flaws in a digital image, caused by dust on the optics or natural variation between pixels, can be used to say whether a particular camera took a particular image.”

Hope this technology would erase from the face of this earth the child photographic morons.
