C2PA and Content Credentials

Verify credentials.
Interpret absence carefully.

Content Credentials can describe provenance assertions and editing history. Their state should be recorded alongside—not replaced by—detector context.

Scope before score.

Every result is a warning signal. The evidence and limitations below define what this route can and cannot support.

Present

Validate the credential chain and expose supported assertions without promising that every assertion is true.

Absent

Many legitimate files have no credentials. Missing provenance is not evidence that content is AI-generated.

Failed

A failed validation is a review signal requiring source follow-up, not automatic proof of manipulation.

Do not infer more than the lane measured.

  • C2PA adoption is not universal.
  • Metadata can be removed by platforms and editing workflows.
  • Credential presence does not establish the truthfulness of the depicted event.
