openbotauth

What problem does it solve?

OpenBotAuth provides a portable cryptographic identity for AI agents by generating an Ed25519 keypair and registering it with a JWKS endpoint, enabling verifiable signatures across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Keypair generation: Create an Ed25519 keypair you own and control.
• JWKS-based verification: Publish a JWKS endpoint to allow others to verify signatures.
• Cross-platform signing: Sign data, plugins, or requests and have them cryptographically verifiable on supported runtimes such as OpenClaw, MoltBook, or any system that validates Ed25519 signatures.
• Use Case: A crawler signs its actions to prove it originated from the identified agent.

Quick Start

Step 1: Generate your keypair locally using the Node crypto API, then securely store the results in the recommended directory (for example ~/.config/openbotauth). Step 2: Obtain a human-authenticated OpenBotAuth token via the GitHub login flow at https://openbotauth.org/token and save the token to the configuration directory. Step 3: Register your agent by sending a POST request to the API with your agent name and public key, then verify the JWKS endpoint provided for your agent.
