# OpenOrigins

> OpenOrigins builds trust infrastructure for a verified internet — proving the origin, authenticity, and integrity of digital media across platforms, systems, and time.

## About

OpenOrigins is a media authenticity company founded in 2023. We build infrastructure to prove digital media is real — from the moment of capture, through archiving, to enterprise deployment — using a cryptographic chain of custody based on the C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) open standard.

## Products

### OpenOrigins Source
A mobile app for iOS and Android that cryptographically signs photos and videos at the moment of capture, embedding tamper-evident provenance metadata using C2PA. It creates a verifiable chain of custody from camera to cloud.

### OpenOrigins Anchor
An enterprise archival platform that applies cryptographic timestamps and provenance metadata to existing digital assets — images, videos, and documents — creating a permanent, verifiable record of authenticity.

### OpenOrigins AI Dataplace
A marketplace connecting verified, provenance-rich media assets with AI training pipelines, ensuring that AI models are built on authenticated, rights-cleared content.

## FAQ

### What is digital media verification?
Digital media verification is the process of cryptographically confirming the origin, authenticity, and chain of custody of images, videos, and documents using standards like C2PA.

### What is C2PA and how does OpenOrigins use it?
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is an open standard for embedding verifiable provenance metadata into digital media. OpenOrigins uses C2PA to cryptographically bind origin data at the point of capture, creating a tamper-evident chain of custody.

### How does content provenance work?
Content provenance works by embedding cryptographic metadata at the moment of capture that records who created the content, when, and where. This metadata persists across platforms and distribution channels, allowing anyone to verify authenticity.

### Why is media authenticity important?
Over 90% of online images lack verifiable origin data, and synthetic media incidents increased 900% between 2019 and 2023. Media authenticity infrastructure ensures trust in digital content for journalism, legal evidence, insurance, and enterprise workflows.
