The trust layer for AI‑era media
BRB signs, anchors, and verifies digital content in real time — so newsrooms and creators can prove authenticity, protect rights, and license confidently.
How BRB works
Content is hashed on capture (pre‑upload) and signed with creator/org keys.
Signature + metadata anchored to a quantum‑aware ledger.
CDN‑resilient fingerprints allow verification after compression/transcode.
Programmable licenses and automated revenue splits.
Problem
Trust in media is collapsing while AI content surges. Newsrooms lack a simple, real‑time way to prove provenance and enforce rights across platforms and CDNs.
Breaking news needs seconds; current provenance tools are slow or complex.
Compression/transcoding breaks naive hashes; metadata is often stripped.
Solution
Lightweight capture‑time signing SDK, verification API resilient to transforms, and a rights layer for instant licensing.
- Capture‑time signing (pre‑upload) — no CMS required to start.
- Perceptual fingerprints robust to compression, resize, re‑encode.
- API + UI widgets to verify in newsroom and at consumer edge.
- Programmable licenses, automated revenue splits & chain of custody.
- Hybrid cryptography with PQC roadmap
- Perceptual fingerprints for CDN‑safe verification
- Ledger‑agnostic anchoring (public / enterprise)
- Compliance hooks for EU trust frameworks (eIDAS, EBSI)
How it works
Sign
Journalist captures → on‑device hash → sign with key
Anchor
Anchor signature + metadata to ledger with low latency
Verify
Verify via API/widget; trust badge shown
Traction
Prototype live; pilot integrations lining up with newsrooms and creators.
On‑device hashing + API verification demo.
Newsroom (Q4–Q1) & Creator rights (Q1).
Beachhead: EU/UK newsrooms & public broadcasters → expand to creators and rights holders. Bottom‑up SDK + top‑down pilots. Verify badge drives network effects. Pricing: SaaS/API + per‑signature + licensing take‑rate.
Complementary to C2PA: BRB emphasises capture‑time signing, CDN‑robust verification, and rapid newsroom workflows. We interoperate where useful; edge is speed, simplicity, monetisation.
