How It Works

Provenance at the point of creation.

1

AI creates an image

Any model, any platform. The image exists with no origin proof and no accountability trail.

2

OriGenID registers it

A visual fingerprint is computed and 6 invisible identity markers are embedded — pixel-level changes imperceptible to the human eye. Your creator ID is hashed. The image looks identical.

3

Verify anywhere, anytime

Upload any copy — screenshot, repost, or download. OriGenID matches the fingerprint and checks the identity markers. A confidence score tells you exactly how close the match is.

Resilience

Built to survive the real world.

✓ Survives

✓ Screenshot

✓ JPEG re-save

✓ Resize

✓ Brightness / contrast

✓ Social media re-upload

✗ Cannot survive

✗ Complete AI regeneration

✗ Heavy blur or noise

✗ More than 50% crop

Why not pixel watermarks?

Standard LSB watermarks embed data in individual pixel values. JPEG compression averages nearby pixels — destroying the hidden data completely. OriGenID uses a hybrid approach: perceptual fingerprinting for robust identification, plus invisible micro-markers at deterministic positions for confidence verification. The fingerprint survives any re-encoding; the markers provide graduated confidence tiers.

Privacy Model

Two tiers. One principle:
minimum necessary disclosure.

Public — anyone can read

Verifiable Metadata

Hashed creator token

Country code

Platform name

Timestamp

Record ID

Embedded in the image itself. Reveals pattern, not person.

Private — authority request only

Protected Identity

Real creator input

AES-256 Fernet encrypted

Stored in registry only

Never in image

Requires verified authority credentials

The image carries no raw identity. Only the registry holds it, encrypted.

Reference

Understanding confidence scores

Score	Markers	What it means
0.90 – 1.00	6 / 6	Verified — original or lightly re-encoded copy
0.75 – 0.90	4–5 / 6	High — screenshot or JPEG compression
0.60 – 0.75	2–3 / 6	Medium — cropped or edited copy
0.50 – 0.60	0–1 / 6	Low — visual match only, markers not confirmed
