What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
This is the maturing trust backbone for the whole provenance ecosystem (76 conformant products from 85 records, two trust lists, ITL frozen) but has concrete, exploitable gaps — sparse CA coverage, default-off revocation, and self-signed forgeries.
Next
If consuming C2PA, validate against the C2PA Trust List AND explicitly enable revocation checking (do not rely on c2patool defaults); treat trust-list traceability, not signature validity alone, as the trust signal.
