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.

1

Choose Your Role

Determine whether your system will act as an issuer, principal, delegate, or verifier.

2

Integrate SDK

Use APIS-APP or SDK tooling to perform passport-init provisioning, credential validation, and verification.

3

Implement Flows

Follow passport-init, passport-renew, passport-revoke, mandate creation, signature verification, and revocation flows.

4

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.
