Content Authenticity Initiative

The Content Authenticity Initiative is an ecosystem initiative that helped popularize Content Credentials and content authenticity workflows.

Definition

CAI language is useful for user-facing trust education. C2PA Signer uses careful wording so Content Credentials are explained as provenance and integrity signals.

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.
