S5E1 - You Can Cryptographically Sign a Lie: Digital Trust Needs Governance (with Scott Perry)

Can you trust what you see online, when AI can generate anything and anyone can cryptographically sign a lie? In this episode of The SSI Orbit Podcast , host Mathieu Glaude sits down with Scott Perry , Founder & CEO of the Digital Governance Institute, to explore why cryptography alone can’t solve misinformation, deepfakes, fraud, or content manipulation, and why digital trust now depends on governance , provenance , and verifiable accountability . Scott breaks down how the C2PA standard (a coalition of the world’s largest tech companies) is creating a global “nutrition label” for digital content, enabling us to know where a digital asset came from, who touched it, and whether it’s been altered . He also shares how creator assertions, certificate authorities, and rights management frameworks work together to build a multi-layer trust fabric for the next generation of the internet. Whether you’re working in digital identity, trust frameworks, AI systems, journalism, media, or enterprise risk, this episode provides a clear look into the future of trustworthy digital content.
