🛰️ SUAM - Universal System for Media Authentication

An open, global standard to track and authenticate AI-generated content.

---

🎯 Purpose

To create a global and open standard for identifying, authenticating, and tracking any AI-generated content — video, image, or audio — ensuring transparency, security, and digital trust.

---

🧩 Key Components

🔗 1. Embedded Identifier (AI-ID)

• Generated at the moment of creation by the AI.
• Includes:
  • Model used
  • Timestamp
  • Generation parameters
  • Platform public key
  • Global unique ID

📌 Example: IA-ID: VEO3-GGL-2025-05-28T18:30Z-AB123XYZ456

---

🔐 2. Cryptographic Digital Signature

• The content is signed with the private key of the AI model or platform (e.g., Google, OpenAI).
• Verifiable using the public key registered in a global repository.
• Ensures the content has not been altered after creation.

---

💧 3. Persistent Invisible Watermark (e.g., SynthID++)

• Embedded in the pixels, sounds, or frames of the content.
• Survives compression, filtering, and light edits.
• Always points to the AI origin.

---

📜 4. Content Manifest (C2PA or equivalent)

• Signed JSON attached as non-editable internal metadata.
• Contains:
  • Origin (model, company)
  • Declaration: "This content was generated by AI"
  • External verification link
  • SHA256 hash of the content

📝 Suggested standard: C2PA (used by Adobe, Microsoft, BBC)

---

🧠 5. Mandatory Visual Indicator

• All public content must include a visible label.
• Can be:
  • An icon: 🧠 IA Verified
  • A label: Generated by AI
  • An overlay in a corner or intro frame

---

🛠️ Public Validation

Users and apps can use this universal verification platform to:

1. Extract the ID and signature
2. Verify integrity
3. Query the global key and manifest database
4. Display the result:

✅ Content generated by OpenAI on 2025-05-28
❌ Content lacks valid authentication

---

🏗️ Required Infrastructure

• 📜 Public registry of models and their public keys
• 🤝 Support from major companies (Google, Meta, OpenAI, Adobe)
• 🌐 International agreements (UN, UNESCO, G7)

---

🚫 What Doesn’t Work Alone

• ❌ Standard EXIF/XMP metadata: easily removed or modified
• ❌ AI visual detectors: false positives/negatives increase with realism
• ❌ Company-specific solutions: not scalable without interoperability

---

🌍 Universal Verification Platform

A website and public APIs to validate AI content.

Input:

• Image, video, URL, file, or hash

Output:

• Origin (AI or not)
• Model used
• Date of creation
• Integrity check
• Signature validation

---

🧰 SDK/API for Developers

Allows any app, social media platform, or CMS to:

• ✅ Insert digital signatures, universal IDs
• 🔍 Automatically validate AI content
• 💼 Integrate with SUAM’s global infrastructure
