Her capture device is configured with her professional credentials and records her identity in each captured asset. She then imports these assets into a Content Credentials-enabled editing application. Her identity is again associated with the edits that she has made. After editing, she sends her assets to her photo editor, Bob. Bob makes additional edits also using a Content Credentials-enabled application. A new identity assertion is recorded for these edits identifying Bob as the person responsible for those edits. The finalized asset is moved into the content management system of a news organization, which is also Content Credentials-enabled, before posting the asset to social media. Anyone viewing these assets can see the identity of Alice, Bob, and the news organization in a Content Credentials-enabled viewer. @@ -93,7 +95,7 @@ A human rights defender Jane manages to capture footage containing Content Crede ==== Election integrity and protecting political campaigns from deepfakes -Aarav is the director of social communications for a political candidate in an upcoming election.
