LFDT: Introduction to OpenOrigins & HOPrS – A New Framework for Trust in Digital Media

How can we establish trust in what we see and share in a growing wave of generative media, misinformation, and manipulated content? This session introduces HOPrS (Human-Oriented Proof System), a new LF Decentralized Trust Lab contributed by OpenOrigins.

HOPrS offers a cryptographic framework for verifying the authenticity and provenance of digital media without relying on centralized authorities. Join us for an overview of why OpenOrigins exists, the HOPrS project goals, the real-world challenges it aims to solve, and how to get involved.
