x401, an open, issuer-neutral protocol that lets any website or API ask for and verify the identity behind agents. With x401, a service can ask for the proof it requires: verified identity, age, membership, organizational affiliation, signing authority, proof of humanness, orf another trusted claim. The agent presents a compatible credential and authorization. The service verifies the issuer, claim, scope and action before proceeding.
