Content Credentials (also known as C2PA signatures) are a digital media metadata specification. They aim to provide provenance information about a piece of media (such as an image or a video) and help prove its authenticity. They are described as the equivalent of nutrition labels for digital media[1]. One of the stated goal of this specification is to fight online disinformation.
The specification is written and maintained by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), a group of many media and tech organizations including Adobe, Amazon, the BBC, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Sony. It is also supported by the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)[1].
The standard relies on cryptographic digital signatures.[2]
