Content Credentials are provenance records attached to media to indicate authorship and edit history. They are commonly packaged in a C2PA Manifest and surfaced as Provenance Metadata.

A C2PA Manifest Store is the packaging location for one or more provenance manifests and assertions. It helps preserve a verifiable chain between a C2PA Manifest and Tamper-Evident Metadata.

Provenance Metadata captures source, edits, and processing history for an asset so consumers can assess authenticity. It is typically surfaced through Content Credentials and reinforced with Tamper-Evident Metadata.

Tamper-Evident Metadata uses signatures or integrity checks so changes are detectable. It strengthens Provenance Metadata and trust signals in Content Credentials systems.
