OpenOrigins provides digital media verification and provenance technology — proving the origin, authenticity, and integrity of content across platforms, systems, and time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is digital media verification?
Digital media verification is the process of cryptographically confirming the origin, authenticity, and chain of custody of images, videos, and documents using standards like C2PA.
What is OpenOrigins?
OpenOrigins is a media authenticity company that builds infrastructure to prove digital media is real — from the moment of capture, through archiving, to enterprise deployment — using a cryptographic chain of custody.
What is C2PA and how does OpenOrigins use it?
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is an open standard for embedding verifiable provenance metadata into digital media. OpenOrigins uses C2PA to cryptographically bind origin data at the point of capture, creating a tamper-evident chain of custody.
How does content provenance work?
Content provenance works by embedding cryptographic metadata at the moment of capture that records who created the content, when, and where. This metadata persists across platforms and distribution channels, allowing anyone to verify authenticity.
Why is media authenticity important?
Over 90% of online images lack verifiable origin data, and synthetic media incidents increased 900% between 2019 and 2023. Media authenticity infrastructure ensures trust in digital content for journalism, legal evidence, insurance, and enterprise workflows.
