Content Provenance
on Fastly Compute
Deploy a Fastly Compute service that adds invisible provenance markers to every article at the edge. Named backends, KV Store caching, and fail-open semantics. No CMS changes. Free for all publishers.
How It Works
Three steps from zero to signed articles on Fastly. One Compute service, one backend configuration.
Deploy the Compute Service
Add the Encypher Compute service to your Fastly account. The service uses named backends for API communication and KV Store for edge caching. No changes to your origin server.
Route Traffic
Point your Fastly service at your origin. All HTML responses pass through the Compute service, which detects article content and applies provenance markers before delivery.
Protect Every Article
Every article on your site receives invisible provenance markers at the edge. When that content is copied, scraped, or republished, you can trace it back to its source.
Works With Your CMS
The Compute service detects and protects article content automatically across every major publishing platform. No per-CMS configuration needed.

Built for Publisher Sites
Designed for reliability at CDN scale. No performance impact on your site, no risk to availability.
Works With Every CMS
Automatic content detection across WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace, Webflow, Substack, Hugo, news wires, and custom HTML. No per-CMS configuration needed.
Invisible, Persistent Protection
Provenance markers are invisible to readers. They survive copy-paste into Google Docs, Slack, social media, and AI prompts, so you can trace content wherever it travels.
KV Store Edge Caching
Signed content plans are cached in Fastly KV Store at the edge. Subsequent requests for the same article resolve from cache with no API round-trip.
Your Site Never Breaks
If anything goes wrong, the service serves your original page unchanged. Provenance is additive. It never degrades your site availability or reader experience.
