Big Blue Marble has announced the creation of C2PA Content Credentials for all newly produced content on the Parliament’s video-on-demand platform. These credentials aim to serve as digital seals of authenticity, allowing viewers to trace the source of the content and determine if it has been altered before publication, as the company has claimed i a statement.

“As a public institution, it is particularly important to us that audiovisual content can be clearly identified as reliable. C2PA provides greater transparency and makes the provenance of our published videos technically traceable. This builds trust in our content and strengthens our democratic mission”, explains Roland Weinert, Director of the Austrian Parliament.

“Our collaboration with the Austrian Parliament showcases how public institutions can successfully embrace new digital content standards. We’re committed to seamlessly integrating these innovations into current systems, ensuring they deliver meaningful value in everyday operations. C2PA is at the forefront of making this happen”, adds Norbert Grill, CTO of Big Blue Marble.

New security standard

C2PA stands for the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity. It is an open technical standard designed to certify the origin of digital content. Content Credentials are embedded in videos, providing information about the source, editing history, and a digital signature. This ensures that the video’s origin and the relevant steps taken during its creation or publication are recorded. Video players that integrate C2PA can read these credentials and confirm the content’s origin.

Big Blue Marble is listed on the official C2PA Conformance List, meaning its video-processing services meet the requirements of this standard. For the Austrian Parliament, signing occurs directly through Big Blue Marble’s Cloud Video Kit, which serves as the technical foundation for video processing and delivery on the Parliament’s platform. There is no need for separate tools or complex manual editing steps, as C2PA certification is fully automated during the preparation process for publication.
