Definitively Know the Provenance and Authenticity of Digital Assets

Definitively Know the Provenance and Authenticity of Digital Assets

To restore trust and ensure fair use of digital assets, Digimarc enables governments, businesses, and content creators to create an enduring link to their assets’ Content Credentials, ensuring universal access to provenance and authenticity information compliant with the C2PA standard.

With Digimarc, it’s easy to restore trust in—and control over—your digital content

With the rise of AI-enabled content creation and editing tools, trust in digital content as a source of information and communication is quickly breaking down. So, how will you enable people to determine the authenticity and provenance of the content you publish? How will you know where each digital asset your organization publishes came from, how it was created, and by whom? And how will you control the reuse of your content—and address the risk that it could be used to train AIs?  

These were the questions that led to the formation of the C2PA standard. And now, Digimarc’s C2PA-compliant solution provides the answers. 

Leveraging the same trusted Digimarc technology built into Microsoft Windows for nearly a decade, our solution restores trust in digital content by creating a durable link to Content Credentials. These always-available, cloud-based credentials reveal the provenance and authenticity of digital assets, in addition to protecting their creators' intellectual property—two capabilities more important than ever in the era of AI.

How our provenance & authenticity solution works

As the co-chair of the C2PA Watermarking Taskforce​, Digimarc built the first implementation of invisible watermarking for C2PA purposes and the first open source C2PA Chrome Extension. Our solution builds upon this pioneering work, giving users the ability to embed invisible watermarks in digital assets, as well as “read” them to retrieve provenance and authenticity information. Our technology can be distributed across both public and private networks, allowing your organization to label media at its place of origin and identify it on demand.  

Because our invisible watermarks survive file transformations and modifications, they maintain a resilient connection between a media asset and its origin—even if media has been manipulated or stripped of metadata, as is typically the case when content is published or shared online. The result is always-available provenance and authenticity checks everyone can trust.
