Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to develop a roadmap by June 1, 2026, assessing open technical standards for digital content provenance—the verifiable history and origin of digital assets—that could be applied to publicly released Department of Defense media. The roadmap must identify current and proposed standards, establish strategic objectives for securing and authenticating public-facing content, define roles and responsibilities across military departments, explore standardized processes for embedding and verifying content credentials, outline acquisition approaches, develop effectiveness metrics, and establish engagement mechanisms with research centers, industry, and academia. The Secretary must brief Congress by July 1, 2026, on initial findings, feasibility, opportunities, barriers, stakeholder engagement, and planned next steps.
