Google has introduced Credentio, an open-source C++ library for validating C2PA Content Credentials in media applications. The library runs entirely within local environments, eliminating the need to upload images, videos, audio, or documents to external validation services.
Credentio offers low memory usage, rapid validation, configurable C2PA trust lists, detailed manifest and digital signature inspection, and actionable verification reports. Google says the underlying technology already powers nearly 40 C2PA-enabled products and has processed tens of billions of generated assets.
The company plans to expand Credentio with capabilities for generating Content Credentials and embedding them directly into media files.
