Mission

Why we exist, our guiding philosophy and intentions
The Authentitas mission is to support journalism in protecting the trust on which its audiences, society and democracy depend.

Trust. Defended at Source.

This is not about verifying all information across the internet. Our purpose is both narrower and more strategic: to reinforce the institutions that already command baseline trust. By embedding authentication into the fabric of news production, we aim to help them move from defensive reaction to accountable authority.

The implications are economic, not merely ethical and editorial. Authentication makes trust measurable and valuable. It transforms credibility from an abstract virtue into a concrete asset that can command, actively defend and grow premium pricing from both audiences and advertisers.

This decisively shifts the competitive landscape. Generating convincing fakes remains trivially easy. Proving authenticity is far harder. Journalism can reclaim its authority not by claiming trust, but by making trust demonstrable – biometrically and cryptographically – in every piece of news.
