§ 01 · PAPHWEY · KNOW YOUR AGENT

The trust layer for software that acts on your behalf.

Paphwey lets a person grant an AI agent scoped access to their identity wallet — so the agent can complete a business challenge under authority the enterprise can rely on.

Four actors. Four keys. One cryptographic chain from user consent to a result the business can act on.

§ 03 · How it works Four steps

The model

From quiet permission to a business outcome.

Four steps take a user from wallet consent to a result an enterprise can rely on.

  1. 01

    Identity wallet

    The user holds trusted identity and approval capability on their own device — not in the agent, not in the app.

  2. 02

    Authorize agent

    The user grants the AI agent scoped permission to use the wallet for a specific purpose or challenge.

  3. 03

    Agent acts

    The agent uses the approved access to complete onboarding, approvals, step-up checks, or other business actions.

  4. 04

    Trusted outcome

    The business receives a verifiable result with strong confidence around who approved the action and what the agent was allowed to do.

KYA extends KYC

KYC verifies the human.

Know Your Customer answers a one-time question: is this person real, and are they who they claim to be? It lives in your regulated vendor — Onfido, Persona, or whichever provider already holds the signal. Paphwey does not replace that work, and we are not a KYC vendor. We consume the KYC outcome your provider already produces.

KYA extends KYC

KYA verifies and constrains the agent.

Know Your Agent answers the per-action question: under what authority is this Non-Human Identity (NHI) acting, and is the action inside the user's delegation? Paphwey binds the agent to a scoped, revocable credential and emits a signed attestation the relying party can rely on — next to, not instead of, the KYC signal.
