No original asset storage
Send the cryptographic fingerprint instead of transferring the original creative file.
Create public Origin Records directly from your application, platform or creative workflow — without storing the original creative asset with Authena.
Your product generates or receives the final creative asset.
Send the file fingerprint and creator identity to Authena.
Receive a permanent public Origin Record URL.
One origin layer
Authena is designed as a lightweight origin layer. Your application remains responsible for creating, editing and storing the asset. Authena registers the asset fingerprint and produces the public identity around it.
Send the cryptographic fingerprint instead of transferring the original creative file.
Every successful request returns a shareable public record for the registered work.
Use the same infrastructure from web apps, creator tools, platforms and future integrations.
Quickstart
The production API will use account-bound API keys. During the current pilot phase, access is provisioned manually.
const response = await fetch("https://www.authena-media.com/api/origin-records", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
creator: {
id: "creator_123",
name: "Alex Studio"
},
asset: {
title: "Summer Editorial",
filename: "summer-editorial.jpg",
mime_type: "image/jpeg",
size: 2481092,
sha256: "BASE64_ENCODED_SHA256"
}
})
});
const originRecord = await response.json();
console.log(originRecord.url);{
"ok": true,
"record": {
"id": "6e771b7e-4d88-4ef0-a6de-92f9d35ce918",
"status": "active",
"created_at": "2026-07-14T10:32:18.000Z"
},
"url": "https://www.authena-media.com/r/6e771b7e-..."
}Result
The returned URL can be embedded in a portfolio, customer delivery, publishing workflow or platform interface.
The Origin Record
The record connects a creator identity, a specific asset fingerprint and the time at which the registration was created.
Integration pattern
Authena should be called when a creative asset reaches its final export or delivery state. This creates a clear and reproducible connection between the record and the exact file being shared.
1. Create or export the final asset
2. Calculate its SHA-256 fingerprint
3. Send the fingerprint and creator identity to Authena
4. Receive a public Origin Record URL
5. Add the URL to your delivery, portfolio or productDesigned for
Add Origin Record creation to export or publishing workflows.
Register delivered assets under the studio or creator identity.
Give uploaded or published works a persistent public origin page.
Offer provenance as part of your existing subscription product.
What Authena confirms
A named account registered a specific file fingerprint at a specific time, and the resulting record has not been silently altered.
That registration alone constitutes final legal proof of copyright ownership or that independently created similar work cannot exist.
Pilot access
API access is currently available for selected creator tools, studios and platforms.
