This blog post by Dr. Neal Krawetz critiques the validation workflows of the C2PA standard, comparing it with TLS and SEAL. The author flow-charts these processes to highlight inconsistencies in C2PA validations, emphasizing issues like differing trust lists and revocation checks that can lead to conflicting validation results. The author concludes that while TLS and SEAL maintain a consistent validation method, C2PA's design allows for potentially unreliable outputs, creating confusion among users. Further real-world examples will be explored in future posts.
