Start with the trust boundary.

How is this different from adding another MFA factor?

PTERI’s intended control is fresh, signed proof associated with a particular request and scoped authority. It addresses decisions after login, not only entry to an account. Explore Pteri-Auth →

Can AI agents or robots be authorized?

The PTERI model describes distinct machine actors, delegated scopes, verified commands, and evidence across people, agents, robotic systems, and existing applications. See the system model →

Does PTERI replace our identity provider?

Does the PTERI Standard guarantee cyber-insurance coverage?
