A museum team connects an official photograph to its digital source
Content Credentials

A content item's authentic history, always with it.

Source, edits and responsibility remain readable even when an image, document or video leaves your channels.

More than authenticity

Provenance you can read.

A credential connects an asset to the source that governs it and records the essential details of its history. It is not a label: it is a signed manifest that compatible tools can verify.

01

Who

The organization that produced or published the content.

02

What happened

Creation, edits and significant lifecycle events.

03

Where to verify

Manifest, signature and link to public SCE verification.

The same image moves across camera, computer, tablet, print and phone while retaining a thread of provenance
One source, many contexts

The asset travels. Its history does not get lost.

An official photo can be downloaded, cropped and shared again. The credential lets each version be traced back to its source and declared context.

01

IdentifiesThe asset is connected to its source and official version.

02

Describes and signsMetadata and actions form a signed manifest.

03

Makes it verifiableThe credential travels with the file; the SCE page remains a stable reference point.

Two proofs, two questions

Content Credentials and notarization work together, but they answer different questions.

Content Credentials

Where did it come from? Who published it? Which edits are declared? Credentials make provenance and context readable.

Notarization

Did this version exist on that date? Has it remained intact? Notarization records independent time-based proof.

Your first use case

Which content continues to represent you, even far beyond your website?

We start with images, documents or media already in circulation and define where to apply credentials and verification.
