Document manifests (PDF, DOCX, and text)
Official records carry the issuing agency identity and issue time, so authenticity checks become self-service for citizens, journalists, and oversight bodies.
C2PA for Government
How agencies use the C2PA standard to make official documents, statements, and public records verifiable by anyone, without a call to the agency.
The problem
Why agencies need provenance
Fabricated agency documents and deepfaked official statements circulate faster than any press office can correct them. Citizens and journalists have no machine-checkable way to tell an authentic record from a manipulated screenshot. Every hoax that sticks erodes trust in the next real announcement.
What you get
What C2PA gives government agencies
Independent timestamps (Time Stamp Authority)
An RFC 3161 timestamp shows a record existed in its signed form at a specific time, independent of the agency clock.
The c2pa.actions assertion for redactions
Redactions are recorded as signed provenance events on a specific version, documenting what was withheld and when for disclosure workflows.
Standards-based proof
The official C2PA Conforming Products List records Encypher as a conformant generator product at assurance Level 1, with generation and validation coverage across 20 media types (conformance dated May 26, 2026). Encypher's claim-signing and timestamp authorities appear on the official C2PA Trust Lists. That matters in public procurement, where independently tested infrastructure is the baseline.
