MEGGA Shield

One public certificate per generation.

Identity, provenance and compliance, sealed into the file at generation and readable by anyone. Built for the EU AI Act.

Standards

Two open standards and one fingerprint.

Anyone can read a certificate against public specifications, with no account.

C2PA Content Credentials

A signed manifest that binds the creator, the model and the timestamp to the file.

Adobe TrustMark

An invisible watermark in the pixels. It survives re-encoding and cropping.

Perceptual fingerprint

A hash of the pixels themselves, to recognize the asset once the manifest is stripped.

Robustness

Two ways to protect. One survives a re-upload.

A social re-upload strips metadata and re-encodes the pixels. Toggle the file state to see which layers survive.

  • Perceptual hash

Illustrative: the watermark lives in the pixels and survives the re-encoding that strips metadata.

Why it holds up

Built differently from likeness crawlers.

Monitoring tools guess from the outside. Shield plants the proof at the source.

Web-scale monitoring comes later. Shield already adds what a crawler cannot: provenance, identity and robustness.

How it works

Build the proof. One click at a time.

Seal each layer yourself. This is the chain Shield runs on every asset.

STEP 01

Create or import

Generate with a verified MEGGA clone, or import your own content.

STEP 02

Certify against a verified identity

Bound to a verified creator: KYC for individuals, KYB for brands, consent before training. Then the Shield stack is sealed into the file.

KYC / KYBC2PAInvisible watermarkPerceptual fingerprint
STEP 03

Notarize independently

With version 1, the fingerprint will go to a public, append-only record, so origin and ownership stay verifiable without us.

STEP 04

Verify anywhere

A platform, a regulator, a journalist or a buyer reads the certificate against open standards, with no login.

STEP 05

Monitor and enforce

On the roadmap: Shield will track where certified content travels and turn confirmed misuse into takedown claims, with a tamper-evident evidence trail.

Where it stands

Shield is in private beta.

Certificates carry C2PA Content Credentials, an invisible watermark and a perceptual fingerprint today. Public anchoring arrives with version 1.
