About Encypher
We build the independent proof layer for content in the age of AI.
We believe AI and creators can thrive together. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that makes this possible, open standards that enable attribution, licensing, and trust at scale.

Our Story
When the industry needed a text provenance standard, we wrote it. As authors of Section A.7 of the C2PA 2.3 specification, we work alongside Adobe, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and the BBC to define how digital content is authenticated.
In June 2026 Encypher passed the C2PA Conformance Program in all four categories: generator, validator, certificate authority, and time stamp authority. See our trust and conformance status.
But standards alone don't solve problems - infrastructure does. Publishers need provable ownership. AI labs need performance intelligence and compliance infrastructure. The ecosystem needs interoperability.
So we built it. Sentence-level tracking with cryptographic certainty. Open-source foundations with commercial capabilities. Infrastructure that serves creators and AI companies equally, because provenance benefits both sides: creators get attribution and licensing revenue, and AI companies get compliance and trust.
- For Publishers: Transform unmarked content into provably owned assets with licensing capability.
- For AI Labs: Performance intelligence on your models + regulatory compliance infrastructure.
- For Developers: Open-source SDK implementing C2PA Section A.7, the text provenance standard we authored.
The coalition is growing. The infrastructure is ready. We're building the trust layer for the AI economy.
