Deterministic Authorization
for Systems and Developers

Modern systems do not fail because of logic errors. They fail because of secrets. PTERI APIs replace secret-based authorization with cryptographic authority.

auth_verification.ts
import { PteriAuth } from '@pteri/sdk';

// 1. Receive Signed Request
const verification = await PteriAuth.verify({
  payload: request.body,
  signature: request.headers['x-pteri-sig'],
  policy: 'payment_authorization'
});

// 2. Deterministic Outcome
if (!verification.isValid) {
  throw new Error('Invalid Authority Proof');
}

// 3. Execute with Confidence
return processTransaction(verification.claims);

The Developer Problem

As systems scale, secret-based authorization becomes fragile, difficult to audit, and dangerous to revoke safely.

The Failure of Secrets

  • Leaked Credentials

    API keys are copied, logged, leaked, and reused.

  • Persistent Access

    Bearer tokens persist long after intent expires.

  • Scope Creep

    Permissions silently expand over time.

  • Unsafe Delegation

    AI agents inherit credentials they should never permanently hold.

APIs Built on Authority

  • Signed Requests

    Requests are signed by a device-owned or agent-delegated key.

  • Verified Authority

    Authority is verified at request time, not by shared secrets.

  • Deterministic Policy

    Policy and scope are enforced deterministically.

  • Clean Outcomes

    Outcomes resolve to allow or deny. No parallel trust paths.

API Capabilities

Authentication APIs

Passwordless, wallet-signed authentication flows that replace passwords and OTPs without shared secrets.

Authorization APIs

Deterministic access control for users, services, and internal systems enforced cryptographically per request.

AI Delegation APIs

Cryptographic delegation that allows AI agents to act within scoped, time-bound, and revocable authority.

Payments & Settlement

Self-custodial value movement authorized by cryptographic proof rather than custodial trust.

Policy & Verification

Runtime authority checks, scope enforcement, delegation validation, and revocation.

PTERI Intelligence & MCP

Scaling Authority Safely

PTERI Intelligence provides visibility and policy enforcement across authority flows without inspecting private data.

Operational Risks

  • Secret-based authorization is fragile
  • Difficult to audit behavior
  • Dangerous to revoke credentials safely

The PTERI Advantage

  • Reason about permitted actions without surveillance
  • Secure coordination via Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • Operate within cryptographically defined boundaries

How PTERI API Authorization Works

1

Initiation

Application initiates a request

2

Signing

User or agent signs the request

3

Verification

PTERI carrier layer verifies signature

4

Enforcement

Policy and constraints enforced

Outcome

Request is allowed or denied

Supported Languages & Environments

PTERI APIs are language-agnostic and designed for incremental adoption. Integrate with modern and legacy stacks without rewriting applications.
