Glossary
C2PA manifest
A C2PA manifest is the signed data structure that carries claims, assertions and actions about a media asset.
How C2PA Signer uses it
The extension turns technical evidence into clear report fields and the four statuses: Trusted, Signed but untrusted, Invalid and No credentials.
Responsible interpretation
Use this term to describe available evidence. Do not use it as a claim that unsigned or uncredentialed media is false.
