Configuring C2PA Tool Settings

In the previous lesson we looked at how to install the c2patool and signed our first asset and now we’re going to configure it to handle a series of use cases that we’re going to look at in the upcoming lessons.

To add some context to the things that we’re going to configure, what I want to do is walk through a C2PA manifest store and talk about some of the components at a really high level. We’ll use this exploration to reveal the things we need to configure for our manifest builder and signer.

Example manifest store

Manifest Store

Code from the lesson

// manifest.json

{
  "claim_generator_info":[{
    "name": "Demo Camera App",
    "version": "1.0.0"
  }]
}

# settings.toml

[builder]

created_assertion_labels = [
  "c2pa.actions", 
  "c2pa.thumbnail.claim",
  "c2pa.thumbnail.ingredient", 
  "c2pa.ingredient"
]

[builder.actions.auto_created_action]
enabled = false

[builder.actions.auto_opened_action]
enabled = true


[signer]

[signer.local]

alg = "es256"
