The Deepfake Crisis

AI-generated media is indistinguishable from real — and detection alone isn't enough

Undetectable Fakes

State-of-the-art deepfakes fool 96% of viewers. Even experts can't reliably distinguish AI-generated from authentic media.

500% increase in deepfakes since 2020

Detection Arms Race

AI detection tools are always one step behind generators. What's detected today is undetectable tomorrow.

New model every 2 months

Legal Challenges

Courts struggle with deepfake evidence. Without provenance, authentic media can be challenged as AI-generated.

37% evidence challenges cite AI

The Answer: Provenance, Not Just Detection

Media Authenticity creates cryptographic chain of custody from capture to publication

1

Register at Capture

Timestamp media the moment it's captured. Device metadata, GPS, and timestamp create unforgeable origin proof.

2

Track Chain of Custody

Record every edit, transfer, and publication. Create complete provenance trail with cryptographic links.

3

Generate C2PA Manifest

Export industry-standard C2PA manifests for distribution. Compatible with Adobe, Microsoft, and major platforms.

4

Defend Authenticity

When challenged, produce independently verifiable chain of custody. RFC 3161 timestamps prove media existed before AI models.

Provenance + Detection = Complete Defense

Media Authenticity integrates with AI Detection for comprehensive protection

For Your Content

Register your authentic content at capture. When challenged as AI-generated, produce timestamped proof that predates the AI models.

Example: A photo timestamped in 2019 can't be a Midjourney image (Midjourney launched 2022). RFC 3161 timestamp proves this in court.

  • Timestamp at capture
  • Track all edits
  • Prove authenticity

For Incoming Content

Verify incoming media with AI detection AND provenance check. Accept only content with verified chain of custody.

Example: A news photo with no C2PA manifest and AI detection score of 85% = reject. Same photo with CertNode provenance from Reuters = accept.

  • AI detection scan
  • Provenance verification
  • Trust score calculation
