Digital Provenance

Trace the origin. Verify the history. Prove the integrity.

Blackwater Verify establishes the origin, integrity and authenticity of digital content by combining synthetic-media detection, C2PA Content Credentials, metadata analysis, cryptographic hashing and tamper-evident verification records. You learn not only whether content may have been manipulated, but, where Content Credentials survive, where it came from, and you keep a sealed record of what was checked.

How it works

Blackwater Verify combines provenance signals, content credentials, metadata and cryptographic integrity checks to help organisations trust digital content.

  1. Submit

    Upload your file

    Example upload: a mountain lake photo
  2. Analyse

    Multiple provenance signals

    • Synthetic-Media Detection

      Detect AI generation and edits

    • C2PA & Content Credentials

      Verify provenance and credentials

    • Metadata Analysis

      Examine embedded metadata

    • Cryptographic Integrity

      Generate and verify file hashes

  3. Decide

    Calibrated trust decision

    No manipulation found

    No evidence of AI generation or manipulation detected.

  4. Prove

    Tamper-evident verification record

Key functions

What Digital Provenance checks, and where each part stands.

  • Live

    Synthetic-media detection

    Checks still images for AI generation, face swaps and supported manipulation. Voice and video are in testing.

  • Live

    C2PA / Content Credentials

    Verifies the signed Content Credentials inside a file and shows who issued them and which tool made it. Most shared images carry none, and that is never held against the file.

  • Live with C2PA

    Origin verification

    When valid Content Credentials are present, the record names who signed them. Without them, origin cannot be proven, and the result says so.

  • Live

    Cryptographic hashing

    Each file and each piece of evidence is fingerprinted with SHA-256, so anyone can later confirm it is exactly the same file.

  • Live

    Tamper-evident audit record

    Every result is sealed into a decision record. Change a single detail and the seal no longer matches.

  • Live

    Chain of custody

    Export a case's chain-of-custody bundle: what was submitted, what was found, and how it was sealed. Every export is itself logged in an audit trail that cannot be edited.

  • Live

    Metadata analysis

    File details are read and kept in the record for context. They never decide a result on their own, because metadata is easily stripped or forged.

  • Roadmap

    Modification history

    Reading the full edit history inside Content Credentials, such as crops, filters and AI edits, is planned.

  • Roadmap

    Trusted timestamps

    Independent third-party timestamps are planned. Today each record carries the time our system sealed it.

Roadmap items are not committed releases and carry no dates.

Why it matters

Detection says what. Provenance says where from, and proves it.

  • Analyse authenticity

    Forensic detection looks for signs that an image was generated or altered.

  • Examine provenance

    Content Credentials and file details show where content came from, when that information exists.

  • Leave evidence behind

    Each calibrated decision is sealed with its evidence, so it can be checked again later.
