Cryptographic trust for AI-generated content

Certivu attaches machine-readable, cryptographically verifiable provenance to AI output — the technical disclosure measure the EU AI Act expects. Signed with post-quantum ML-DSA (NIST FIPS 204), watermarked, and verifiable by anyone in seconds, for free.

Aug 2026EU AI Act Article 50 takes effect. Providers must mark AI-generated content in a machine-readable form. Certivu is that technical measure. Get compliant →

The Platform

Built for the post-AI era

Every design decision prioritises cryptographic correctness and honest positioning.

ML-DSA Signatures

NIST FIPS 204

Post-quantum Dilithium signatures on every piece of content — immune to future quantum attacks. RSA and ECC are never used, anywhere in the stack.

Spread Spectrum Watermark

DCT frequency domain

An invisible watermark spread across 4 independent frequency coefficients per block. Survives JPEG recompression, resizing, and social media upload.

Neural Watermarking

survives social & re-encode

Optional TrustMark (image) and WavMark (audio) neural marks survive the regimes where frequency-domain watermarks fail — screenshot re-capture, heavy recompression, MP3 transcode, and full video re-encodes. A neural match returns high-confidence provenance even after a Twitter/TikTok round-trip.

Images, Audio, Text & Video

multi-format

Sign JPEG/PNG/WebP images, MP3/FLAC/WAV audio, PDF/HTML/plain-text documents, and MP4/MOV/MKV/WebM video. Format detected from magic bytes — no guesswork. Each format gets a native token container and a resilient watermark.

Free Public Verification

no account needed

Anyone can verify provenance without an account. Upload an image, get a cryptographic verdict in under a second. Unlimited and always free.

No Content Storage

privacy-preserving

Only hashes and signed records are stored — content never touches Certivu servers beyond the verification request.

Tamper Detection

SHA-3 hashing

A single changed pixel changes the hash, fails the ML-DSA signature, and returns tampered: true immediately.

Generator Revocation

instant revocation

Revoke a compromised generator and all its signatures become invalid across every past and future verification — no migration needed.

Signing Key Rotation

zero-downtime

Rotate a generator's signing key on demand. New content is signed with the fresh key while everything signed earlier stays fully verifiable — refresh keys on a schedule without disrupting past provenance.

Post-Quantum C2PA

ML-DSA-signed manifests

Writes real, embeddable C2PA manifests into JPEG and PNG — signed with ML-DSA instead of the classical RSA/ECC the ecosystem uses today. Structurally interoperable with Content Credentials, with quantum-resistant signatures only Certivu provides. Also reads third-party C2PA manifests on verification.

Perceptual Fingerprinting

pHash + Hamming

64-bit pHash fuzzy lookup via Hamming distance recovers provenance even when watermarks are destroyed by resize, reformat, or heavy recompression.

No-Code Web Signer

drag, drop, download

Sign content straight from the dashboard — drag in a file, pick a generator, download the signed copy. Every format supported, no SDK or API code required.

Embeddable Verify Badge

<certivu-badge>

Drop a live 'Verified by Certivu' badge onto any page with one line of HTML. Self-updates from the public status endpoint, themable, and works embedded anywhere.

CI & Sandbox

CLI verify + test keys

Verify AI assets in CI with one CLI step and fail builds that lack provenance. Build against a free sandbox with isolated data and test keys that never consume quota.

Branded Certificates

your logo + colors

Share a public, org-branded verification certificate for any signed asset — your logo, accent color, and name on a page anyone can open. Powered by the public status endpoint, no login required. Growth plan and above.

EU AI Act Disclosure

Article 50 · Aug 2026

Machine-readable, cryptographically verifiable provenance — the technical disclosure measure the EU AI Act expects, on every plan. Certivu provides the infrastructure; compliance remains your responsibility, and this is not legal advice.

How Certivu helps →
IntelligenceGrowth+

Verification Analytics

Per-record verification counts, daily trend charts, authentic rate, and tamper detection dashboard.

Tamper alert emails fire the moment a hash mismatch is detected. Free tier: 7-day window. Starter+: 30–90 day full history with per-record drill-down.

Monthly Intelligence Digest

Automatic monthly email with signing stats, total public verifications, tamper event count, and quota status.

Delivered from [email protected] on the 1st of each month. Includes an upgrade nudge if you're approaching your plan limit. Available on Starter and above.

Webhook Events

Real-time HTTP callbacks for every signing, verification, tamper, quota, revocation, and key-rotation event.

HMAC-SHA256 signed with replay protection (5-minute tolerance). Auto-disabled after 5 consecutive failures. 30-day delivery log with per-delivery retry. Growth+ only. 7 event types: record.created, verify.attempted, verify.tamper_detected, quota.warning, quota.limit, generator.revoked, generator.key_rotated.

§

Compliance Attestation

Export a regulator-ready attestation mapping your signing activity to EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations.

Available as JSON or a printable HTML document over a chosen reporting period, via API, SDK, or the CLI. A factual record of cryptographic provenance activity — not a certification or legal opinion. Enterprise plan.

How It Works

From generation to verification

End-to-end provenance in three steps — from generation to public verification.

Step 01

Sign at generation time

Your AI system calls Certivu when generating content. Content is hashed with SHA-3 and signed with an ML-DSA (Dilithium) keypair — a NIST FIPS 204 post-quantum signature that stays valid against future quantum attacks.

Step 02

Embed the provenance token

Certivu embeds an invisible watermark in the content — neural marks (TrustMark for images, WavMark for audio) backed by DCT spread-spectrum, ZWC steganography for text, and a container atom/trailer for video — and stores the ctv_ token in format-native metadata. For JPEG and PNG it can also embed a real, ML-DSA-signed C2PA manifest. Neural marks survive heavy recompression, resizing, and social-media re-encode.

Step 03

Verify — free, for anyone

Anyone uploads the content to certivu.ai or calls POST /v1/verify. Certivu auto-detects the format from magic bytes, extracts the token, re-hashes the content, verifies the ML-DSA signature, and returns a cryptographic confidence verdict.
