Unauthorized Actions Passed

The Mathematical Foundation

One Function.
All Domains.

The same authorization function governs every high-stakes AI deployment — from a cobot on a factory floor to a discovery AI in a federal courtroom. The parameters change. The math doesn’t.

INTENT

Cryptographically signed human purpose. Not inferred by the model. Not extracted from context. Verified before the session begins.

TRAJECTORY

The full sequence of proposed actions — evaluated end-to-end. A path that reaches the wrong destination is blocked, even if every step looks benign individually.

TIME

Authorization decays. Old context loses authority automatically. Multi-session memory injection attacks — the attack class with no other defence — fail here.

Seven High-Stakes Domains

Every Vertical.
One Patent.

The authorization problem is universal. Every domain where getting it wrong has real consequences is a domain IBA was built to govern.

01 · Live Demo

⚖

Legal Practice

Jury selection AI that cannot access protected characteristics. Discovery agents bound by privilege. ABA 517 compliant by architecture, not by policy.

Cobots that cannot breach safety zones. Supply-chain agents that cannot leak IP. Industry 4.0 openness with provable authorization bounds.

Clinical AI bound to signed protocol scope. BCI systems with Hz-enforced cert limits. Diagnostic agents that cannot exceed patient consent. HIPAA by design.

Trading agents bound to signed risk mandates. x402 payment agents governed by declared payee lists and spending caps. MiFID II and SEC by design.

Navigation AI that cannot exceed signed safety parameters. Systems that cannot override human control intent. Safety-critical authorization at target 1.4ms.

The OpenClaw lesson: 42,000+ exposed because agents had capability without authorization. IBA is the fix. 13 NIST filings, 10 NCCoE filings, 22+ Grok sessions.

Patents, federal docket filings, WIPO international registration, and unsolicited validation from frontier AI labs are not marketing claims. They are permanent public record.

“Useful reference for any desktop agent layer. Forcing fresh human-signed cert for production deploy (no auto-upgrade path) blocks the classic capability creep vector. DENY_ALL default + immutable audit logs = strong foundation.”

On March 5, 2026, Mastercard announced “Verifiable Intent” — a cryptographic framework for AI agent transaction authorization co-developed with Google, IBM, Worldpay, Fiserv, Checkout.com, and Adyen. The architecture maps directly to the IBA patent claims filed February 10, 2026.

“Specifying allowed merchant categories, spending caps, and time windows”

Independent Convergence · Google DeepMind · Feb 12, 2026

DeepMind Independently
Arrives at IBA Primitives.

A Google DeepMind research paper (arXiv:2602.11865, Tomasev et al., Feb 12, 2026) introduces Delegation Capability Tokens (DCTs) — the same primitive as IBA’s Intent Certificate, developed independently. The paper identifies an open problem: no standardised ontology for intent and responsibility exists yet across platforms. IBA-SPEC-001 is the candidate standard for that open problem.

For Acquirers and Strategic Partners

The Standard Is Being
Written Right Now.

NIST is writing the federal AI agent authorization standard. IBA is on the docket with thirteen submissions and ten NCCoE filings. Mastercard built the same architecture 23 days after the IBA priority date. The acquirer of IBA owns the foundational patent in the space where that standard is being set.

When Light Itself Says No.

IBA governs the packet. IBA-Pulse governs the photon. The intent fingerprint is encoded directly into the electromagnetic carrier wave. Unauthorized data cannot propagate — not because a gate blocks it, but because the waveform physically will not carry it.

“There is no prompt injection for light. There is no jailbreak for a pi-phase shift.”
