Content Provenance
on Netlify Edge
Sign everything you serve, without touching your CMS.Add an Edge Function that embeds invisible provenance markers into every article on your Netlify site. One function, one config line. No site code changes. Free for all publishers.
How it works
How It Works
Three steps from zero to signed articles on Netlify. One Edge Function, one environment variable.
1
Add the Edge Function
Drop the Encypher Edge Function into your Netlify project. Add the route configuration to netlify.toml. No changes to your site code or build process.
2
Set Environment Variables
Add your Encypher API key in the Netlify dashboard. The Edge Function connects to your Encypher account and begins protecting content on the next deploy.
3
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.
Zero-Code Configuration
Configuration examples
Configure with HTML Meta Tags
Control article detection, declare rights, and assign per-block licenses directly from your HTML. No rebuilds, no API calls, no dashboard configuration required.
Article Selector
Override automatic content detection with a CSS selector that targets your article region.
<meta name="encypher-selector" content=".story-body">
Document-Level Rights
Declare usage terms and license for all content on the page. Embedded in the C2PA manifest.
<meta name="encypher-rights" content="All rights reserved."> <meta name="encypher-license" content="CC-BY-4.0">
Per-Block Rights
Assign different licenses to different content blocks. The worker maps each block to the sentences it contains.
<div data-encypher-rights="(c) 2026 Your Publication"
data-encypher-license="CC-BY-4.0">
<p>Your original reporting.</p>
</div>Rights Cascade
The worker resolves rights in order: block-level attributes on individual elements, then document-level meta tags, then your organization's rights profile in the Encypher dashboard. Block-level and document-level rights coexist: document rights serve as the default for content not covered by a block-level attribute.

Architecture
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 document editors, messaging tools, social media, and AI prompts, so you can trace content wherever it travels.
Warm Isolate Caching
Signed content plans are cached in the Deno isolate. Subsequent requests for the same article resolve from memory with no API round-trip. Cold starts provision fresh.
Your Site Never Breaks
If anything goes wrong, the function calls context.next() and serves your original page unchanged. Provenance is additive. It never degrades your site availability or reader experience.
