Content provenance

An emerging approach to synthetic-media evidence in which signed, tamper-evident metadata is attached to media at creation so its origin can be checked rather than guessed. The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) publishes the leading open specification, surfaced to users as Content Credentials. It is the longer-term answer to the deepfake-detection problem the Pikesville case relied on detectors to solve.
