Abstract
ABSTRACT
A system for cryptographically verifying autonomous agents in merchant transaction systems includes a verification server configured to receive a transaction request from a terminal agent in a multi-agent delegation chain. The verification server parses a delegation chain manifest from the transaction request, wherein the delegation chain manifest comprises a linked list of signed hop records, each hop record capturing a delegation event from a delegator to a delegate. The verification server verifies, for each hop record in the delegation chain manifest, a delegator signature against a public key retrieved from an agent registry. The verification server verifies a hash chain linking each hop record to a previous hop record in the delegation chain manifest. The verification server forwards the transaction request to a merchant backend responsive to successful verification of the delegation chain manifest.
