The certificate is the receipt.
The Rights Graph is the record.
ScriptShield is more than a timestamp. Behind every certificate sits a persistent, tamper-evident record that connects your work's provenance, versions, declarations, disclosures, and permissions — and keeps them connected as your work moves through the world.
One record, six questions answered
Every dispute about creative work comes down to the same questions. The Rights Graph is built to answer them with evidence.
What existed
Every protected work is a root asset: SHA-256 fingerprints, trusted timestamps, and a version chain that grows from first idea to final deliverable.
Who contributed
Your authorship declaration on the record — Human, AI-Assisted, or AI Creative Work — recorded, timestamped, and tied to the work’s fingerprint.
Which AI systems were involved
Structured AI-use disclosures: the tools, the model or provider where disclosed, what they were used for, and when.
Who received it
Disclosure history for every share: tracked links, NDA acceptances, and access logs showing who opened your work and when.
What they were permitted to do
Permission profiles for your work — viewing, publishing, commercial use, and AI permissions such as training and indexing — versioned so every change preserves the policy that came before.
What follows every derivative
New versions know their parents. Attribution, licence, and confidentiality conditions travel with the work instead of getting lost between drafts.
Evidence that says what it is
Credible evidence never overstates itself. The Rights Graph keeps a clear line between what is measured, what is declared, and what is inferred — so lawyers, platforms, and courts can rely on it.
Timestamped hashes, version records, access logs. Objective, tamper-evident, independently verifiable.
Your attestations of human or AI contribution. Recorded exactly as you made them, with identity and time.
Similarity matches and detection events, always labelled as automated — with confidence, never certainty.
Never automated. Infringement is a legal conclusion for courts and counsel — the Rights Graph supplies the evidence, not the verdict.
Built for the standards being written now
Governments and standards bodies are converging on machine-readable provenance, disclosure, and licensing. ScriptShield is being developed as an interoperable implementation layer for these standards — without depending on any single one.
C2PA
Content-provenance manifests from the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity.
ISCC
Similarity-preserving content identifiers that survive format changes.
RSL / ODRL
Machine-readable licensing and permission vocabularies for AI-era rights signalling.
W3C Verifiable Credentials
Portable, cryptographically verifiable identity and attestation credentials.
RFC 3161 / eIDAS
Trusted timestamps with recognised legal standing — already on every certificate today.
EU AI Act Art. 50
Machine-readable marking and disclosure of AI-generated content, applying from 2 August 2026, with the final Transparency Code of Practice (June 2026) as the recognised demonstration route. ScriptShield provides provenance evidence of the kind Recital 133 describes — never a compliance claim.
DTA AI Technical Standard (AU)
Australia’s standard for government AI use — Statement 8 calls for watermarking and metadata providing transparency and provenance, including authorship.
Where this stands today: certificates, version chains, authorship declarations, AI-use disclosures, AI permission settings, NDA-gated sharing, and evidence exports are live now. The full Rights Graph — derivative relationships, machine-readable permission profiles, and standards-format exports — is being developed as standards-aligned infrastructure. We do not claim compliance with rules that do not yet exist; we build in alignment with the standards now taking shape.
