  "bluf": "The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) specification defines a cryptographically signed metadata manifest standard that embeds verifiable provenance information directly into digital assets (images, video, audio, documents), enabling any consumer to verify who created the asset, what tools were used, and whether the content has been modified since signing. C2PA is backed by Adobe, Microsoft, Intel, BBC, Sony, and others and is increasingly required by news organizations, AI content platforms, and social media companies for AI-generated content labeling. The specification uses X.509 certificates for signer identity, COSE (CBOR Object Signing and Encryption) for manifest integrity, and defines a trust list maintained by the C2PA Trust List Authority. Organizations distributing AI-generated content without C2PA manifests risk regulatory non-compliance under the EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations and face reputational exposure from deepfake misattribution.",
