What are Content Credentials?

How Content Credentials relate to C2PA, provenance inspection, XMP, and disclosure requirements.

Definition

Content Credentials is a user-facing name commonly used for provenance information implemented with C2PA technology.

Example

A credential may describe actions, software, and ingredients while remaining separate from a marketplace-specific XMP keyword.

How to inspect

Use a maintained cryptographic validator for signature status. Media Inspector currently reports only supported detection signals.

How this product uses it

The interface never treats Content Credentials as a replacement for an independently applicable Amazon, New York, or EU requirement.

Limitations

Credentials can be absent, removed, invalid, or signed by identities with different trust levels.
