Digital Identity Authorization Protocol (DIAP)

AI doesn't copy your work.
It learns to become you.

TrustMark is the record that proves you were you first.

Copyright protects what you made. Trademark protects your name.TrustMark protects how you exist.

Three layers of protection. Only one is proactive.

Copyright and trademark are reactive legal tools. TrustMark is the infrastructure layer that establishes the record before AI ever touches an identity.

The Four Dimensions of Identity

Hollywood has always known these exist.

AI has made them urgent to register. TrustMark defines the vocabulary.

Personality Construct

Behavioral signature — cadence, mannerism, the way someone is

Talent, agents, studios

Performance Signature

Expressive pattern — how emotion moves through the body

Talent, guilds, VFX

Character Construct

Fictional identity — exists beyond its creator, beyond any single film

Studios, IP owners, writers

Motion Identity

Pixel-level movement fingerprint — the way a body moves through space

VFX, motion capture, games

Motion Identity

Your movement is your signature

AI doesn't just copy faces and voices. It learns how you move — your timing, your rhythm, your physicality. TrustMark registers Motion Identity as a distinct construct, establishing the record before AI can replicate it.

Performance Signature

Your gait, your timing, your physical expression — captured as a mathematical signature that proves you were you first.

Motion Identity

Mocap data, movement patterns, physical mannerisms — registered as a distinct identity construct in TrustMark before AI systems can train on it.

The Record Exists

TrustMark doesn't stop AI. It establishes the provenance record — so when someone replicates your motion, the record proves it was yours.

This video was generated from a single still image using AI. The dancer's movement was invented by a machine. Without TrustMark, there's no record to prove otherwise.

How DIAP Protects IP

Six layers of protection — from authorization to watermarking to revocation. Shared infrastructure that every stakeholder can verify.

Every render is authorized

Cryptographically signed license tokens — scoped to a specific project, rights, territory, and duration. No valid token, no render. A token for Film A cannot be reused for Film B.

Every output is watermarked

Dual-layer invisible watermarks — pixel-level and ultrasonic audio — survive compression, re-encoding, and social media upload. If your content appears on an unauthorized platform, the watermark proves it.

Every use is logged

Per-frame render receipts create an unbroken provenance chain. Studios, talent, and guilds all see the same truth — what was authorized, what was rendered, and when.

Visibility is controlled

Two layers of authorization. Layer 1: whether your identity is even visible to AI systems. Layer 2: per-project usage. Both revocable at any time by talent, agents, or guild reps.

Revocation is instant

When authorization changes — a talent revokes, a token expires, terms are violated — every certified AI pipeline is notified immediately. Valid licenses are always honored. Emergency revocation targets unauthorized use only.

Scripts are protected too

ScriptModule extends the same authorization model to written works. Four independent rights — read, derivative, export, and training — each require separate authorization. TRAINING_USE defaults to no.

Why Now

Regulatory, legal, and industry pressure is converging.

ByteDance generated Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt from public data.

February 2026

Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros., Netflix, and Sony all sent cease-and-desist letters within days. No technical mechanism existed to prevent it.

Guild contracts mandate machine-readable authorization.

2026 bargaining cycle

DGA-AMPTP negotiations are underway. SAG-AFTRA and WGA contracts already require it. The industry has zero shared infrastructure to deliver it.

EU AI Act requires AI content to be machine-readably labeled.

Effective 2025–2026

€35M penalties for non-compliance. The regulation is live — the infrastructure to comply doesn't exist yet.

4 US states already protect digital likeness by law.

Active legislation

Tennessee ELVIS Act, California AB 2655 & AB 1836, Illinois BIPA. Federal preemption is coming.

Who It's For

Shared infrastructure for every stakeholder in the AI identity pipeline.

Studios & IP Protection

The problem: ByteDance generated hyper-realistic footage of A-list talent from public data — and 5 studios had no technical mechanism to prevent it or prove their own authorizations.

DIAP: Project-scoped license tokens, per-frame render receipts, and dual-layer watermarks that prove which studio authorized which output — creating an auditable chain of custody from authorization to final render.

Guilds & Unions

The problem: SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and DGA contracts mandate authorization, territory limits, and training restrictions. But no technical mechanism translates those clauses into machine-readable rules.

DIAP: Union-ready compliance profiles, bulk member registration, audit exports that map directly to contract clauses, and ScriptModule for writer protection.

Talent & Creators

The problem: A face posted to Instagram is now AI training data. A voice memo is now a clone source. No technical mechanism exists to know about it, authorize it, or stop it.

DIAP: Identity Vault with two-layer authorization, agent delegation, real-time audit trail, and emergency revocation — free forever for talent.

Writers & Authorship

The problem: AI companies want to train on scripts. Writers need machine-readable authorization — not just contract language that AI systems ignore.

DIAP: ScriptModule: cryptographic registration, four independent rights (read, derivative, export, training), AuthorshipReceipts, and TRAINING_USE denied by default.

Emergency Revocation — For Unauthorized Use

Blocks unauthorized AI use instantly. Valid licenses are always honored. Anyone in the authorized chain — talent, agents, studios, or guild reps — can trigger it when they detect external threats.
