Mark what you detect

Guardian Tools can write every verdict back into the file as a cryptographically signed C2PA Content Credential — so the result travels with the asset, not just in your database.

Purpose and scope

This document explains what content credentials cover, who they are for, and where they fit in a media trust workflow.

EU AI Act & Code of Practice

How signed content credentials support transparency obligations under the EU AI Act and related codes of practice.

Technical overview

A high-level look at how credentials are generated, attached to assets, and validated end to end.

What is written into the file

The manifest data embedded into each asset, including provenance claims, timestamps, and signatures.

Cryptographic signing profile

The keys, algorithms, and certificate chain used to sign credentials and prove authenticity.

Supported formats

Image, audio, and video formats that support embedded content credentials.

Independent verification

How third parties can validate credentials without trusting the signer directly.

Scope vs. other measures

How content credentials compare to watermarking, hashing, and detection-based approaches.
