ORIGNTD / C2PA guide

What is C2PA?

C2PA is an open technical standard for attaching signed, tamper-evident provenance records to digital content.

Content Credentials can describe where a file came from, which tools handled it and whether the signed record still matches the file you received.

What a C2PA check can establish

• Whether supported Content Credentials were found
• Whether the signed credential still binds to this file
• Which supported origin and editing declarations are present
• What was not checked or cannot be concluded

What C2PA cannot prove

C2PA does not prove factual truth, ownership or legal clearance. Missing provenance does not prove human authorship.
