Content Provenance Platform

One Platform for
Everything You Publish

Articles, photos, podcasts, video, websites, ads, live streams. Cryptographic provenance built on the C2PA standard we co-authored, with watermarking designed for EU AI Act compliance. Free for every publisher.

Content Provenance Stack

Six layers from signing through licensing. Built on C2PA with proprietary watermarking across 31 media formats.

1
SigningC2PA manifests for articles, images, audio, video, PDFs, fonts, and live streams
2
WatermarkingAudio, video, and image watermarks plus invisible text embeddings
3
VerificationFree public API, tamper detection, quote integrity, watermark extraction
4
EnforcementAttribution analytics, formal notices, court-ready evidence packages
5
RightsPer-segment licensing, rights resolution API, publisher profiles
6
DistributionWordPress, Prebid ad-tech, CDN edge, REST API, CLI, browser extension

Core Capabilities

Protect, verify, and monetize every content format you produce.

Sign Every Format You Publish

Articles, photos, podcasts, video, PDFs, websites, live streams. One API handles all of them. Composite signing bundles an entire article package into a single provenance unit, so the hero image, podcast clip, and written piece share one verifiable chain of custody.

Watermarks That Survive Everything

Invisible text embeddings survive copy-paste, scraping, and CMS rendering. Audio and video watermarks survive transcoding, compression, and format conversion. Image watermarks survive cropping and resizing. Together they satisfy the EU AI Act proposed multilayered marking requirements.

Free Verification for Anyone

Any journalist, court, compliance team, or AI company can verify any signed asset at no cost through the public API. Quote integrity verification checks whether AI-generated citations match your original signed content.

From Detection to Licensing

Attribution analytics show where your content appears across the web. Formal notices establish willful infringement. Evidence packages hold up in court. The pipeline works across articles, images, audio, and video.

Rights at Every Level

Publisher rights profiles, licensing terms, and usage policies travel with content. Per-segment rights let you license one section of an article under Creative Commons while keeping another exclusive. AI companies resolve rights programmatically before ingestion.

Coalition Licensing

Auto-enrolled in the Encypher Coalition. Every format you sign is indexed for licensing deals. Publishers keep the majority of revenue on every deal.

Strengthens Your Existing Stack

Content provenance is not a replacement for access control or attribution tools. It is the layer that makes them enforceable.

Layer 1

Access Control

robots.txtTollBitCloudflare

Tell AI crawlers not to scrape. These tools work at the server level, but only when AI companies respect your directives.

When crawlers ignore these signals, content-level provenance provides the evidence that your terms were attached and violated.

Layer 2

Content Provenance

Encypher

Proof of ownership embedded in the content itself. Articles, photos, audio, video, websites. Works whether AI companies cooperate or not.

Layer 3

Attribution & Monetization

ProRataDappierMicrosoft PCM

Estimate which sources contributed to AI outputs and route revenue to publishers. These tools work inside opted-in ecosystems.

Cryptographic proof of origin makes attribution claims verifiable, not just statistical estimates.
