Brands are more concerned than ever about content transparency, AI disclosure, and preventing the tampering of assets. The Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) at Adobe builds tools compliant with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) technical standard. C2PA metadata, which is a new kind of tamper-evident metadata can help viewers understand the lineage of content and ensure the integrity of brand assets. They can include a wide range of provenance data that offer insight into the history of a digital asset.

This information may include:

  • Issuer or Signer: Information about the entity or company that issued the digital signature to certify the certifies or signs the asset.
  • Issue Date: The date on which C2PA metadata was applied to the asset.
  • Credit and Usage: Information about the producer of the asset, including name, social media handles, or other identity-related information.
  • Process: Records of any edits or modifications made to the asset.
  • Device Details: Information about the app or device used to create or edit the asset.
  • AI Tool Used: If generative AI was used to edit or create the asset, the name of the model used may be included.
  • Other Pertinent Information: Additional data may also be included to help offer more context about the history of an asset.

For a complete view, Verify can offer a more comprehensive insight into asset history.

Adobe Experience Manager Assets now supports C2PA metadata, enabling users to see C2PA metadata directly within the Assets view of AEM. When looking at the asset details, any image with C2PA metadata (such as those created with GenAI services) shows the manifest details in a dedicated panel. If the asset is downloaded, published, or shared, the C2PA metadata remains intact with the asset.
