# Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity C2PA is a coalition and technical standard for attaching cryptographically verifiable provenance claims to digital media. ## Function C2PA manifests can record claims about creation, editing, tools, signers, and artificial-intelligence involvement. [[Content Credentials]] is the principal consumer-facing presentation of this provenance model. ## Critical distinction **C2PA asserts provenance, not truth.** It can establish that a signer made specified claims about an artifact and that the manifest has not been silently altered. It does not determine whether the depicted event is real, whether the signer is honest, or whether omitted history exists. ## Privacy boundary Creator metadata can expose identity and relationships. Selective disclosure, consent, pseudonym protection, key security, and resistance to provenance stripping belong inside [[Truth-Chain Infrastructure]]. ## Source [[articles/Cognitive-Cyber Warfare Measures and Countermeasures#Truth-Chain Infrastructure|Cognitive-Cyber Warfare — Truth-Chain Infrastructure]].
