Solu
Aava

Authority,
written for software.

Aava is the protocol. Solu is the network. The unit is the Session.

Protocol semantics
01

Authority

Who may act and under which rights.

02

Delegation

How bounded authority is passed to software.

03

Session

The governed unit around one media experience.

04

Runtime

Where permitted software acts.

05

Receipt

Signed evidence from an execution.

06

Record

The verifiable account of what occurred.

07

Verifier

Independent checking of the evidence.

Provenance and transparency
Source to screen

Authority before.
Governance during.
Proof after.

From source to screen, the Session keeps authority, governance, and provenance in one continuous line. What was allowed, what happened, and what remains provable stay connected.

Authority resolved

The request meets the rights owner's terms before anything is assembled.

Recorded
  • Rights reference and version
  • Permitted contexts
  • Commercial terms
Verified
  • The terms were in force at this moment
  • The request falls inside them

Content protection
A new dimension

The stack protects delivery.
The Session governs the decision.

This complements DRM, watermarking, monitoring, and device integrity. It gives protection companies a new runtime boundary and evidence they can act on.

DRM and encryption

Access to the stream

Decides who may decrypt and play, not what was assembled once playback began

Forensic watermarking

Attribution of a leak

Identifies the source of a copy after it escapes, not the terms applied while it played

Monitoring and takedown

Content in the wild

Works on distributed copies, so it arrives after the experience is over

Player and device integrity

The endpoint

Confirms the client can be trusted, not that the composition stayed inside its rights

Governed Session

The runtime decision

Adds the layer the others were never built for: bounded composition, written down as it runs

Agentic layer

The network at the speed of agents

End to end protection that moves as fast as the leak does, and finds where content was taken. Open to DRM and protection partners, under NDA

The Aava
Foundation.

Aava is intended for independent stewardship, so the rules that govern a Session can belong to the parties bound by them rather than to any single company. We are opening the first conversations with rights owners, content protection companies, and provenance organisations.

Tell us who you are and we will come back to you directly before the public introduction. Nothing is published, and nothing is shared.

Plain answers
01
What is Aava?
Aava is the protocol that represents and verifies authority, delegation, Sessions, execution, and evidence around programmable media.
02
What is the Session?
The Session is the bounded unit of governed software execution around one media experience.
03
Does Solu replace DRM or delivery?
No. DRM and delivery remain authoritative. Aava and Solu add a governed execution boundary around the media path.
04
How does provenance travel?
The Session, provenance, and governance run from source to screen. Session evidence can extend into Content Credentials.
05
Who holds the public commitments?
Aava is a C2PA Contributor Member and the signatory to the European Union Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content.
