Adopt with guardrails
- Why
- Mature, broadly adopted standard (Adobe, OpenAI, Google, Canon/Sony/Nikon; 6,000+ CAI members) with a live Trust List, but peer-reviewed security gaps, sub-1% real-world penetration, and metadata fragility mean it cannot stand alone for high-stakes provenance.
- Next
- Treat C2PA as a positive-only signal layer behind an existing crypto root: bind timestamps externally, enforce revocation/expiry checking in our own validator, pair with watermarking+fingerprinting for durability, and never present 'missing credential' as evidence of fakery in user-facing copy.
