Content Provenance & Authenticity · Licensable IP

Prove what's real —
and trace it after it travels.

Fortress binds crop-resilient provenance and per-session watermarks into content, attributes it back to its origin, and guards against false attribution. Sovereign, on-device, no cloud round-trip. Available for licensing or acquisition.

The differentiator

Provenance that survives the real world

Core capability

A CLIP-based semantic fingerprint plus a tiled, crop-resilient embed mean attribution survives cropping, resizing and re-encoding — the transforms that destroy a naive single-region watermark. Origin can be bound at the moment of capture, on-device.

Crop-resilient

tiled embedding recovers attribution after cropping

Per-session

invisible per-viewer watermark for leak tracing

Guarded

refuses to attribute to a source not genuinely present

How we prove it

Measured on the attacks that matter

Fortress is evaluated the way our LLM-trust work is — demonstrated, not asserted. Robustness is measured per attack (compression, crop, resize, recapture), imperceptibility is measured (PSNR/SSIM), and — critically — false / phantom attribution is measured against a null control, not assumed away.

  • Recovery reported per attack, including the ones that fail
  • False-attribution rate measured with and without the guard
  • Imperceptibility quantified, not claimed
Honest status.

Fortress's provenance and false-attribution results are real and measured; a peer-reviewed evaluation is in preparation (companion to our two IEEE LLM-trust papers). We share the reproducible harness and numbers under NDA rather than posting unvetted figures — and we do not claim "military-grade" or "unbreakable." Robust and measured, with the breakers disclosed.

Where it fits

Use cases the IP addresses

Creator content protection

Per-session invisible watermarks let a platform trace a leaked stream or image back to the exact session — evidence, not vigilantism.

Newsroom & media provenance

Bind provenance at capture; prove a photo or clip is unaltered and correctly attributed.

C2PA / content credentials

A robust, sovereign embed + attribution layer where crop-survival and false-attribution resistance matter.

AI-content labelling

Durable origin marking as provenance/labelling obligations tighten across the EU and beyond.

Marketplace / DAM integrity

Verify asset origin and licensing lineage across a digital-asset pipeline.

Capture-to-proof (ProofCam)

Provenance established at the source, sovereign and on-device — not reconstructed after the fact.
