Know who (and what) you’re transacting with.
Authwall® builds cybersecurity primitives for the agentic era: strong authentication, verifiable authenticity, and safe wallet interactions. Our first product is KYA — Know Your Agent.
KYA — Know Your Agent
KYC verifies people and entities. KYA verifies autonomous software agents: who built them, what they’re allowed to do, and what they actually did.
Agent Identity
Stable agent IDs, key management, and provenance (builder/org, model lineage, deployment).
Policy & Permissions
Attach and enforce “can/can’t” rules: spending limits, tool access, allowed contracts, scopes.
Verifiable Evidence
Signed attestations and audit trails to prove actions, approvals, and runtime context.
How it works (high level)
KYA binds an agent to cryptographic identity, then continuously verifies permissions and intent at runtime.

Practical outcome: fewer spoofed agents, fewer unsafe tool calls, and wallet transactions that are easier to trust.
The Authwall Platform
Designed for modern security teams shipping agentic workflows, wallet products, and high-assurance APIs. Integrate via SDK or gateway; start with KYA and expand into broader authentication and authenticity controls.
Wallet-aware Authentication
Bind identities to wallets and enforce context-aware protections: phishing-resistant sign-in, transaction simulation hooks, and policy-driven approvals.
Authenticity Primitives
Signed metadata, provenance, and attestations for artifacts and actions. Prove “who said what” and “who did what” with tamper-evident evidence.
Agent Governance
Onboarding and lifecycle management for agents: enroll, rotate keys, revoke, and monitor. Treat agents like first-class security principals.
Controls that Security Teams want
Policy templates, audit exports, and integration points for SIEM/SOAR. Turn autonomous actions into reviewable, enforceable events.
Use Cases
KYA and Authwall’s authenticity layer help teams reduce fraud, enforce policies, and build trust in autonomous workflows.
Agent-to-Wallet Execution
Allow agents to prepare transactions, but require KYA verification + policy checks before signing.
Secure Tool Access
Restrict agent tools (payments, deployments, CRM) by scope, rate limits, and step-up approvals.
Marketplace & B2B Agents
Verify third-party agents with provenance and attestations before granting access to customer data or APIs.
Anti-impersonation
Stop “look-alike” agents and bot swarms by requiring cryptographic identity and verifiable provenance.
Compliance & Audit
Generate evidence trails for agent actions, approvals, and policy decisions—built for review and reporting.
High-assurance Workflows
For finance, critical infra, and ops: enforce intent, limits, and accountability in autonomous actions.
Trust by design
Security and reliability principles built into the product architecture. (Add or adjust these based on your exact implementation.)
Least privilege
Agents get the minimum scopes needed. Policies default to “deny” and require explicit permissioning.
Defense-in-depth
Verification at every boundary: identity, intent, policy, runtime context, and action evidence.
Key lifecycle hygiene
Rotation, revocation, and compartmentalization. Reduce blast radius if an agent environment is compromised.
Tamper-evident logging
Signed attestations and audit trails, with optional anchoring to a blockchain for stronger integrity guarantees.
