Attestik | Stream Identity Protocol (SIP)

The protocol-grade trust layer for modern video ecosystems.

Attestik defines SIP: cryptographically verifiable identity, rights, authorization, and attestation signals embedded at the bitstream layer and routed into production operations through Analyze.

  • Identity frames at NAL/OBU level
  • Rights + rating + auth attestations
  • Tamper-aware verification chain
  • Protocol to platform execution path
  • Designed for HLS, DASH, WebRTC, RTP, and progressive transport contexts
  • Survives repackaging and adaptive bitrate workflows
  • Complements DRM without replacing existing encryption/key systems

Identity Integrity

Know who originated a stream and whether that identity claim verifies end-to-end.

Rights Confidence

Model ownership and license grants as a verifiable chain with revocation traceability.

Moderation Reliability

Fuse SIP signals with Analyze moderation outputs for stronger decision quality.

Two-Layer Model

SIP Core and SIP Platform are intentionally distinct

SIP Core (open protocol layer)

  • Identity frame format and verification procedures.
  • Content binding, rating attestations, rights chain primitives.
  • Viewer authorization and transport profile definitions.

SIP Platform (operational layer)

  • Analyze APIs, portal workflows, and live moderation operations.
  • Evidence exports, alerting pipelines, and automation hooks.
  • Deployment patterns for enterprise production environments.

Protocol Pillars

What Attestik standardizes

Bitstream identity anchoring

Attach signed identity data at NAL/OBU-level so provenance survives repackaging and CDN/transcode workflows.

Independent attestation lanes

Separate publisher identity, rights chain, rating attestations, and viewer authorization into verifiable claims.

Rights and authorization graph

Represent ownership, license grants, and policy entitlements as a cryptographically auditable chain of custody.

Verification-first moderation inputs

Feed provenance, rights confidence, and attestation status into moderation and policy decisioning before distribution.

Protocol core + platform layer

Keep SIP Core open-standard oriented while integrating operational workflows through Analyze platform services.

Settlement-ready instrumentation

Expose attention and event checkpoints needed for downstream settlement, dispute handling, and compliance evidence.

Who This Is For

Different teams, one verifiable trust foundation

Publishers and studios

Prove source identity, rights lineage, and policy readiness before distribution.

Platforms and distributors

Verify what can be shown, where, and to whom with cryptographic confidence.

Trust, legal, and rights teams

Use deterministic proof artifacts for disputes, audits, and regulatory reviews.

Market Application

Where protocol-level verification creates immediate value

Streaming and FAST channels

Verify source, rights, and policy fit before recommendations and ad delivery.

UGC and creator ecosystems

Reduce impersonation and rights abuse with signed publisher and license assertions.

Sports and live events

Enforce distribution windows and territory entitlements with cryptographic evidence.

Rights exchanges and syndication

Provide immutable verification artifacts for licensing and partner distribution audits.

Build Sequence

How Attestik feeds platform.framebright.ai

Phase 1: Attestation ingest

Extend Analyze asset ingestion to parse SIP payloads, resolve signer identities, and persist verification results.

Phase 2: Rights and authorization graph

Store rights chain links, grants, and revocations; compute active authorization state per asset and stream.

Phase 3: Policy and moderation fusion

Blend SIP verification status with existing safety classifiers and rule engines for operational decisions.

Phase 4: Portal and API productization

Publish verification dashboards, API endpoints, and webhook streams in platform.framebright.ai for customer ops teams.

Decision FAQs

Common protocol adoption questions

Is Attestik replacing platform.framebright.ai?

No. Attestik is the protocol and sales funnel layer. Production workflows and customer operations run in Analyze.

Can we use SIP without adopting all platform features?

Yes. Teams can adopt SIP Core verification first, then phase into operational platform capabilities.

Will this work with existing DRM and entitlement systems?

Yes. SIP complements existing DRM/entitlement systems with verifiable identity and rights context.

Attestik is the protocol surface. Analyze is the operational product.

Use Attestik to explain the verification model and protocol value proposition, then route qualified buyers into platform.framebright.ai for execution, workflows, and enterprise deployment.
