Provenance / Content Credentials

Preserve, display, and basic-verify an incoming C2PA manifest.

If a master arrives carrying a C2PA / Content Credentials manifest, Velic keeps it with the master and surfaces it on the Provenance tab. This support is deliberately light: preserve, display, and basic-verify.

When a manifest is present

The Provenance tab shows that Content Credentials were found, the result of a basic validity check, and the key fields from the manifest:

  • Issued by: the signer / issuer of the credential.
  • Claim generator: the tool that produced the manifest.
  • Signed: the signing details.
  • Assertions: the claims carried in the manifest.

The manifest is preserved alongside the master, so the provenance travels with the file you later restore.

When there is no manifest

If the master did not arrive with a manifest, the tab says so, and notes that preservation proof is unaffected. Content Credentials are about provenance; they are independent of the on-chain proof that the master is intact.

Preserve and verify only, no signing

Velic does not actively sign or generate C2PA manifests, and does not include full provenance-authoring tooling. It preserves an incoming manifest, displays it, and runs a basic validity check. Nothing is added to or claimed about your master.
