A
system for trusted media
origination including a processor of a trusted media originator node communicatively connected to at least one at least one media source and a memory on which are stored
machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: acquire a media data instance from at least one media source; determine an identity of at least one Participating Actor in an
origination event associated with the media data instance; verify the identity of the at least one Participating Actor in the
origination event; generate a
certificate representing the verified identity of the at least one Participating Actor; derive a plurality of features from the origination event, the verified identity of the at least one Participating Actor, and attributes and state of the media data instance; verify the plurality of the derived features; generate an origination event
record data based on the verified plurality of the derived features;
encode at least a portion of the origination event
record data using an identification
certificate of the at least one Participating Actor; acquire a media event journal corresponding to the media data instance; and enter the origination event
record data and the identity of the at least one Participating Actor into the media event journal.
