Learn how AIVO Verify detects C2PA Content Credentials, validates signatures, and surfaces provenance for AI-generated and edited images.
Overview
AIVO Verify helps you inspect whether an image carries valid C2PA Content Credentials. When credentials exist, you can confirm signature integrity, identify the generator or editing tool, and review the content history from creation to export.
C2PA Verification
Validate embedded Content Credentials
Signature checks
Confirm cryptographic authenticity
Provenance timeline
Track creation and edit history
How it works
Verification runs in three stages: upload, parse & validate, then present a clear result with timeline and metadata.
Step 1
Upload an image
Drag and drop or click to select a JPG, PNG, WebP, or TIFF file.
Step 2
Parse & validate
AIVO reads embedded metadata, parses the C2PA manifest, and checks the digital signature.
Step 3
Review provenance
See generator info, integrity status, timeline events, and technical metadata.
C2PA & Content Credentials
Content Credentials are signed statements attached to media files. They can record the creating application, edit actions, export format, certificates, and timestamps.
AIVO Verify looks for a C2PA manifest inside the file, then validates the signature algorithm and certificate path. When the chain is intact, the result page shows a Verified status.
What credentials can include
- Manifest version
- Signature algorithm (e.g. ES256)
- Certificate validity
- Generator / creator tool
- Creation & export timestamps
- EXIF / XMP companion metadata
Supported formats
Upload common still-image formats that may carry C2PA manifests.
Reading results
After verification, AIVO surfaces one of two primary outcomes.
Valid Content Credentials
- · C2PA manifest is present and readable
- · Digital signature validates successfully
- · Provenance chain is intact
- · Generator and creation details are available
Missing C2PA metadata
- · The file has no embedded Content Credentials
- · This does not prove the image is AI-generated
- · This does not prove the image is fake
- · Common causes: screenshots, stripped metadata, unsupported export tools
Timeline & metadata
When a manifest includes assertions about creation and edits, the result page builds a provenance Timeline — for example Created → Edited → Exported → Verified.
Expandable Metadata sections expose technical details from C2PA, EXIF, and XMP blocks so you can inspect certificates, timestamps, and other fields without leaving the page.
FAQ
What is C2PA?
The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) defines an open standard for Content Credentials — cryptographically signed metadata that records how media was created and edited.
Does a verified result mean the image is trustworthy?
It means the embedded credentials are cryptographically valid and the provenance chain has not been broken. It does not judge whether the content itself is truthful or appropriate.
What if verification fails or finds no credentials?
Missing credentials is common. Screenshots, social media re-exports, and older workflows often strip C2PA data. Absence of credentials is not evidence of manipulation.
Is my image stored on a server?
AIVO Verify processes images for verification in the browser flow of this demo. Do not upload sensitive or confidential files to public environments.
Which generators are supported?
Any tool that embeds standard C2PA Content Credentials can be inspected — including AI image generators and editors that write a valid signed manifest.
