+# Soft Binding Algorithm List
+
+C2PA specifies a mechanism for recovering a decoupled C2PA Manifest using soft bindings (for example an invisible watermark or content fingerprint). The soft binding assertion contains a field 'alg' that serves to uniquely identify the algorithm used to compute the soft binding. The Soft Binding Algorithm List is an authoritative list of soft binding algorithm names that may be used as identifiers within the 'alg' field. Entries in the list also contain additional information on the algorithms.
+
+Developers of soft binding algorithms may request these be added as a new entries in the soft binding algorithm list. Developers may also request amendments to their entries. These requests may be made by submitting a pull request (PR) adding to or editing the [softbinding-algorithm-list JSON document](softbinding-algorithm-list.json) in this repository. The C2PA Technical Working Group may approve and merge PRs in accordance with its prevailing processes for approving technical contributions to the C2PA specification. C2PA's Technical Working Group may also decide to remove malicious or non-conformant algorithms from the list of approved soft binding algorithms.
