How It Works

Archive Origin runs an institutional four-stage trust workflow: capture authentic performance, cryptographically sign provenance, independently verify chain integrity, and publish a portable highlight artifact for district and workforce review.

Archive Origin flow showing Capture, Sign, Verify, and Highlight Reel
1

Capture

Record real skill demonstrations at source with controlled context and identity binding.

  • Evidence originates in governed capture workflows.
  • Media is paired with timestamp and institutional metadata.
  • Inputs are prepared for cryptographic signing.
2

Sign

Apply C2PA signing to embed verifiable provenance and integrity claims into artifacts.

  • Manifest claims are attached to the media object.
  • Certificate-backed signatures establish chain-of-trust.
  • Tamper evidence persists across transfer and storage.
3

Verify

Enable independent verification of manifest integrity, signature validity, and trust status.

  • Verification checks can run outside originating systems.
  • Status can be validated without exposing private media stores.
  • Evidence remains portable across partner workflows.
4

Highlight Reel

Publish a shareable, audit-defensible proof artifact for institutional and employer decisions.

  • Trusted records support district outcomes and pathway reporting.
  • Artifacts can be used in portfolio and credential workflows.
  • Proof travels with the output as durable verification context.
