A verified owner behind every action
OAuth and passkeys authenticate the agent; Incode verifies the human owner and binds every action to that person.
Agentic Identity (KYA)
Know which human is behind every AI agent
Know Your Agent (KYA) confirms which verified human stands behind an AI agent, and Incode keeps every action the agent takes accountable to that person.
The challenge
AI agents will soon outnumber humans online
AI agents log in and move money on surfaces built for people, and existing checks can treat them as human.
OAuth, API keys, and passkeys only confirm access; the authorizing human and the agent's limits can stay unknown.

Why Incode
The trust layer for the agentic web
Our platform verifies the human behind every agent and keeps scoring risk as agent volume scales.
Explore the platformVerification that resists spoofing
Deepsight passed iBeta's Level 3 presentation-attack test (0% error rate); Purdue University ranked it first among nine commercial systems.
A privacy-preserving trust network
TrustGraph exchanges risk signals across human and agent populations, and GovMatch™ anchors each owner in government records.
The same accountable owner on every surface and protocol
One verified human can run many agents on web, app, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and A2A (agent-to-agent) surfaces.
Use cases
One verified identity across every agentic action
Know Your Agent (KYA) keeps a verified human behind every agent step in fintech, SaaS, healthcare, and legal services.
Agent onboarding
Verify the human owner once, before an agent is granted any credentials or access.
Sensitive action step-up
Trigger a live re-verification when an agent reaches a high-risk action, like moving money or changing account access.
Multi-agent oversight
Track every agent one verified human runs, keeping each one traceable to the same accountable owner.
Agent-to-agent transactions
Carry verified owner identity across MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (agent-to-agent) surfaces as well as human-facing apps.
Incident response and audit
Trace any agent action back to a real, verified person for a regulator, a court, or an internal investigation.
Methods
Layer verified owner identity over OAuth-authenticated agents through the Incode platform, MCP (Model Context Protocol), or SDKs.

What is Know Your Agent (KYA)?
Know Your Agent (KYA) is a risk-based framework for trusting AI agents: it defines each agent's identity, binds it to a responsible human, and enforces policy and auditability across every autonomous action.
What is agentic identity?
Agentic identity is the verified digital identity of an autonomous AI agent, covering who operates it, what it may do, and what it has done; Incode's Agentic Identity product establishes it.
How is Know Your Agent (KYA) different from OAuth, API keys, or passkeys?
OAuth, API keys, and passkeys confirm that something has valid access, while Know Your Agent (KYA) verifies the human owner behind it and binds the agent's actions and permissions to that person.
How does Incode verify the human behind an AI agent?
What happens when an AI agent reaches a high-risk action?
Under Know Your Agent (KYA), a high-risk action such as moving money or changing account access triggers a live step-up with the human owner, while low-risk actions flow on the agent's scoped credential.
Who is accountable when an AI agent does something wrong?
The verified human owner is accountable: Know Your Agent (KYA) keeps an auditable chain from every agent action back to that person, since regulators and courts are unlikely to accept “the AI did it.”
Does Know Your Agent (KYA) work with MCP, A2A, and OAuth-authenticated agents?
Yes, Incode layers verified owner identity over OAuth on web, app, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and A2A (agent-to-agent) surfaces, through platform integrations or SDKs.
How do Know Your Agent (KYA) and Know Your Human (KYH) relate to agentic fraud?
Know Your Human (KYH) proves a real person is present, Know Your Agent (KYA) binds a legitimate agent to that person, and together they help separate a customer's agent from agentic fraud.
