The Problem We Solve
AI-generated media is on a rapidly exponential rise, and it’s now become indistinguishable from real digital media. Consumers can’t reliably verify who made what. This fuels misinformation, fraud, and erodes trust in digital media.The Stakes Are High: Global financial damages from deepfake-enabled fraud may approach or exceed $40 billion (Deloitte, 2024).The average cost per deepfake scam incident to businesses is approximately $500,000 (Regula, 2024; Eftsure, 2025).
How Trust Engine Works
Trust Engine provides privacy-preserving records at the moment of creation or distribution.What Trust Engine Does: Creates immutable, timestamped records of who registered digital media on our protocol and when.
What Trust Engine Does NOT Do:
- Determine rightful ownership or settle disputes
- Judge whether media is AI-generated vs. human-created
- Make claims about media accuracy or editorial truth
- Act as arbiters of what’s politically correct or appropriate
Two-Party Architecture
- Creators
- Public Verification
Submit digital media piece and register proofs of ownership and origin
- Upload files via REST API
- Generate cryptographic proofs
- Receive immutable timestamps
For Creators/Publishers
Prove “I had it first” without exposing your digital media piece. Defend against theft, false attribution, and secure your intellectual property with cryptographic timestamps.
For Platforms & Publishers
Get a portable trust signal that travels with digital media. Verify authenticity without handling sensitive files or relying on centralized authorities.
For Consumers
Check digital media provenance and integrity instantly. Know the origin of digital media without depending on watermarks that can be forged.
For Developers
Integrate provenance verification into your applications with simple REST APIs. No blockchain expertise required.
