Where do you go to authenticate Canon photos?

File names& basic EXIF info are all easily alterable. If you can extract the shutter activation information it should be possible to use this to confirm the shooting order. This is less likely to have been altered, and is often less obvious in the exif.

Not all cameras store this information in the EXIF several of mine have convoluted button presses to display the information, but others have it hidden in EXIF - there are websites that provide the shutter count if you upload an image. (Works for my DSLRs but not my micro four thirds bodies)

AFAIK general EXIF tools don't display the shutter count.
