Everything about Content Credentials

Digital media metadata specification for provenance and authenticity

Content Credentials are cryptographically signed metadata structures, known as C2PA manifests, that provide a verifiable record of a digital asset's provenance and modification history. Defined by the C2PA specifications, this architecture establishes a core set of technical assertions, while supporting custom schemas to extend metadata regarding authorship, content intent, and machine-readable usage preferences.
