Connect
provenance
information to any
piece of content

We have engineered compatibility with fingerprinting
and watermarking to achieve content durability ​so
that Content Credentials remain intact​ and travel
wherever the content goes.

Add a signature to
every update

Each update adds new information about content updates including the method of editing, location, date and time to the Content Credentials. This digital record now ensures that every detail is digitally signed and can be verified in the future.

anyone can determine the content’s authenticity.
