1. What can Content Provenance show?
A person, group, camera, or tool may add a digital seal.
The record may say a camera took it. It may say a person or AI made it.
A file may list the photos, clips, sounds, or other files used to make it.
A checker can test if the file still fits the saved record.
2. What can it not prove?
Content Provenance does not prove that each claim in a file is true. A real photo can have a false note. A signed video can tell a false story. The record gives you facts about the file. You still need to judge what the file says.
3. How does Content Provenance work?
- A camera, person, or tool makes or edits a file.
- A tool saves facts about that work in a Provenance Record.
- The tool adds a digital seal. The seal helps keep the record safe.
- A checker reads the record. It tests if the file still fits the record.
4. Who makes the rules?
Open groups make the rules. C2PA makes the main Content Provenance rules. CAWG makes rules for creator names. IPTC makes labels that tell how media was made.
