Irdeto joins C2PA
April 14, 2026
Irdeto, a specialist in digital video platform experiences and security, has been approved by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) for the C2PA Trust List. The approval establishes Irdeto as a trusted certificate authority within the C2PA ecosystem, enabling media organisations and their products to cryptographically authenticate the origin and integrity of their content.
The news follows the release of C2PA specification version 2.3, which introduces a standardised protocol for signing live and broadcast media. At a time when generative AI is making manipulated videos nearly indistinguishable from authentic footage, this capability is critical.
Providing trusted credentials
Version 2.3 extends C2PA from static assets to live streaming environments such as DASH and HLS, allowing media segments to be independently hashed and signed in real time. It works within existing architectures without requiring changes to codecs, manifests, DRM systems or CDNs, a feature that is essential for broadcasters, pay-TV operators and streaming platforms.
Provenance can be embedded directly into current workflows without disrupting delivery, lowering video quality or complicating operations. Live streams continue to flow as normal, while authenticity travels with the content itself. This makes adoption practical and scalable, not experimental.
As an approved issuer, Irdeto can now provide the trusted credentials required to bind identity and provenance to digital content at scale, including video, images, audio, documents and AI-generated content.
“AI is rapidly changing how content is created, and how easily it can be manipulated,” said Andrew Bunten, COO of Video Entertainment at Irdeto. “For journalists, broadcasters and audiences alike, the erosion of trust is deeply concerning. C2PA gives the industry a practical, open way to prove where content comes from, and we’re proud to support that effort as an approved issuer of trusted credentials.”
