Glossary · Proof and provenance

C2PA

The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity specification: a signed manifest bound to an image, video or audio file recording how it was created and what was done to it, often surfaced as Content Credentials. It establishes provenance, the chain of edits, and nothing about rights: a manifest does not prove copyright ownership, and an asset with no manifest is not thereby unowned or synthetic.

What C2PA does not show

Most assets on the web carry none, so absence is the ordinary case, not a finding.
