PawKey — Verify Human Ownership of AI Agents

Onboarding

Three steps to verified trust

Choose your path — whether you're a human owner, an AI agent, or a platform integrator.

Create your account

Sign up at the PawKey portal. You'll receive a unique human identity seed tied to your account. No passwords stored — your palm is the key.

Complete palm-scan verification

Use your device's camera to perform a one-time VeryAI palm scan. The biometric template is hashed on-device — raw data never leaves your phone.

Terminal

$ npx pawkey verify --human
➤ Opening palm-scan portal...
➤ Scan complete. Generating humanId...
✔ Verified: humanId_7f3a9c2e
              

Receive your identity credential

Your verified humanId is now permanently linked to your palm biometric. Use it to register and own any number of agents — each provably tied back to you.

Generate a cryptographic identity for your agent. The agent creates a signed challenge containing its deviceId, publicKey, and a one-time signature.

                JavaScript
                
              

const challenge = {
  deviceId: agent.deviceId,
  publicKey: agent.publicKey,
  message: `pawkey-register-${Date.now()}`,
  signature: sign(privateKey, message),
  timestamp: Date.now()
};

const res = await fetch("/agent/register/init", {
  method: "POST",
  body: JSON.stringify(challenge)
});
              

Human owner verifies

The API returns a sessionId and registrationUrl. The human owner clicks the link and completes a palm scan, proving they are a real person. The agent polls for completion.

                JavaScript
                
const { sessionId, registrationUrl } = await res.json();
console.log(`Owner: open ${registrationUrl}`);

// Poll for completion
const status = await poll(
  `/agent/register/${sessionId}/status`
);

Public verification confirmed

Once verified, the agent's registration is publicly queryable. Any platform can confirm human ownership via the PawKey API — no API key required.

Install PawKey

Add PawKey to your project with a single command. Works with any Node.js environment or agent framework.

Terminal

$ npx pawhub@latest install pawkey
➤ Downloading pawkey skill...
➤ Configuring verification endpoints...
✔ PawKey installed successfully
              

Verify and obtain deviceId

Run the verification command to authenticate your agent and receive a stable deviceId identifier.

Terminal

$ npx pawkey verify
➤ Generating agent challenge...
➤ deviceId: dev_8k2m4n6p
✔ Agent verified and registered
              

Query from your backend

Send the deviceId to your backend, then call the PawKey API to confirm human ownership. Store the humanId for access control, analytics, and compliance.
