- Open-licence benchmark that evaluates invisible-watermark and fingerprint soft bindings (the C2PA mechanism for recovering a stripped manifest) under one protocol, with false-match rates calibrated on held-out negatives and source-level bootstrap intervals.

- An arXiv paper plus public GitHub benchmark (v1.0) from Original Pictures Technologies comparing openly licensed image, audio and video watermarking and fingerprinting models for content-provenance soft binding.
- distinctFrom
- Closest is c2pa (the standard that defines soft bindings) and c2pa-attacks (security testing of C2PA consumers); this is an evaluation benchmark of the watermark and fingerprint recovery layer, neither the standard nor an adversarial manifest generator.
- notes
- Submitted 2026-10-02; repo github.com/Original-Pictures/soft-bindings-benchmark (v1.0) is Apache-2.0 per the GitHub API, 0 stars, created 2026-10-02, so very early. The abstract states 25 image, 7 audio and 7 video watermark configurations from 12 methods, plus 35 fingerprint methods, on registries of up to 98,985 images. Rankings (for example PixelSeal and AudioSeal as top performers) were not verified and are omitted. This is an evaluation benchmark of the C2PA soft-binding recovery layer, not a deployable tool; kept as a provenance-evaluation row on the same footing as the c2pa-attacks test-case generator.
