For Developers
Build agent systems that implement APIS v2.0 for identity, authorization, trust-tier signaling, and accountability.
Quick Integration Path
Get started with APIS v2.0 integration in four steps.
Choose Your Role
Determine whether your system will act as an issuer, principal, delegate, or verifier.
Integrate SDK
Use APIS-APP or SDK tooling to perform passport-init provisioning, credential validation, and verification.
Implement Flows
Follow passport-init, passport-renew, passport-revoke, mandate creation, signature verification, and revocation flows.
Test and Deploy
Use the test registry to validate your implementation before deploying to production.
Core Concepts
Credentials
Agent Passports and Machine Passports are signed credentials that establish agent and machine identity.
Mandates
Authorization documents that specify what an agent can do, including scope and constraints.
Signatures
Cryptographic proofs that bind credentials and mandates, enabling verification.
Registry
Public infrastructure for credential status checking and revocation verification.
Trust Tiers
Verifiers can require Tier 1 physical TPM, Tier 2 vTPM, Tier 2.5 DNSSEC, Tier 3 software HSM, or Tier 4 development keys.
