PTERI APIs - Deterministic Authorization

- Built on Cryptographic Authority, Not Secrets

Modern systems fail because of secrets. PTERI replaces secret-based authorization with signed, verifiable cryptographic authority powered by Litecoin Proof-of-Work.

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.

The Shift: From Secrets to Verified Intent

Secret-Based (Today)
PTERI (Tomorrow)
Static API keys
Per-request cryptographic proof
Long-lived tokens
Short-lived, one-time intent
Broad, hard-to-limit access
Least-privilege, purpose-bound
Hard to audit and revoke
Fully auditable and revocable

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 by the PTERI carrier layer.

  • Deterministic Policy

    Policy and scope are enforced deterministically.

  • Clean Outcomes

    Resolve to allow or deny. No parallel trust paths.

Quick Start

TypeScript
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
processTransaction(verification.claims);

Core API Capabilities

Authentication APIs

Passwordless, wallet-signed flows that replace passwords and OTPs.

Authorization APIs

Deterministic access control enforced cryptographically per request.

AI Delegation APIs

Scoped, time-bound, revocable authority for autonomous agents.

Payments & Settlement

Self-custodial value movement authorized by cryptographic proof.

Policy & Verification

Runtime checks, revocation, and selective disclosure.

How PTERI API Authorization Works

1

Application initiates a request

2

User or agent signs the payload

3

Carrier layer verifies signature

4

Policy enforced deterministically

Request Allowed

No secrets involved

AI Agent Extension

PTERI Intelligence & MCP

Secure coordination between AI agents and systems via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Agents operate within cryptographically defined boundaries — structured, safe, and auditable.
