AAuth Night: Moving Beyond OAuth
Join us for an insightful evening where AI engineers delve into the future of authentication! 🚀
Connecting agents to company tools often requires a complete overhaul of the identity layer, addressing challenges like short-lived credentials, per-user delegation, audit trails, scoped access, and secure multi-agent handoffs. Many teams are currently tackling these issues independently, frequently relying on bearer tokens and long-lived API keys that are ill-suited for autonomous systems.
Introducing AAuth: A cutting-edge auth protocol tailored for agents, crafted by OAuth creator, Dick Hardt. Say goodbye to API Keys as AAuth enables mission-bound authority for agents, ensuring checks at every step rather than a single approval at the outset.
Prepare for engaging lightning talks and live demonstrations by:
- Dick Hardt
- Jared Hanson, CTO of Keycard and author of Passport.js
- Other innovative engineers actively working with AAuth
We'll wrap up the evening with an interactive Panel Q&A moderated by Allie Howe, host of the Insecure Agents Podcast.
What you'll learn:
- How an agent can access resources without needing an API key
- Why AAuth mitigates the risks of token loss
- The value of mission-bounded authority for user requests
- How AAuth facilitates reliable multi-agent delegation chains
- Best practices emerging for production agent authentication
If you're deploying agents and are weary of continuously rebuilding the auth layer, this event is for you! Come connect, learn, and innovate together at the 111 Minna Gallery and Event Space! 🎉
