c2pa-text-binding 0.1.1

Overview

Provides a trait-based interface for text content fingerprinting algorithms compatible with the C2PA Soft Binding framework. Implementations generate content-derived fingerprints that survive reformatting, re-encoding, and partial modification of text content, enabling manifest recovery when hard bindings are broken.

Where hard bindings (cryptographic hashes) break on any byte-level change, soft bindings use perceptual fingerprints to re-associate content with its provenance even after transformation.

Quick Start

[dependencies]
c2pa-text-binding = "0.1"

Implement a fingerprinting algorithm

use c2pa_text_binding::{TextFingerprint, FingerprintResult, Error};

struct MyAlgorithm;

impl TextFingerprint for MyAlgorithm {
    fn algorithm_id(&self) -> &str {
        "com.writerslogic.text-fingerprint-v1"
    }

    fn generate(&self, text: &str) -> Result<FingerprintResult, Error> {
        // Your fingerprinting implementation
        todo!()
    }

    fn match_fingerprint(
        &self,
        text: &str,
        fingerprint: &[u8],
    ) -> Result<f64, Error> {
        // Returns confidence score 0.0..=1.0
        todo!()
    }
}

Register with the Soft Binding Resolution API

Fingerprinting algorithms can be registered with the C2PA Soft Binding Resolution API to enable decentralized manifest recovery for text assets.
