Other information

This is a proposal for adding content-authenticity-related features to the informational panels which appear when end-users click upon HTTPS lock icons or newer icons, e.g., "tune" icons, in their Web browsers' address bars.

By adding these features to these panels, by enabling interoperation with content-authenticity-related solutions (e.g., "C2PA" and "digital press passes"), end-users will be able to easily examine and verify the authenticity of content.
