Introduction As software agents evolve from pre-orchestrated workflow automations to truly autonomous or semi-autonomous assistants, they require the ability to identify themselves -- and more importantly, identify their human principals -- to external systems. Agents acting on behalf of users to discover services, create accounts, or execute actions currently face significant operational barriers. The KYAPay token addresses these challenges by providing a standard envelope to carry verified identity and payment information. By utilizing "kya" (Agent Identity) and "pay" (Payment) tokens, agents can identify their human principals to services, sites, bot managers, customer identity and access management (CIAM) systems, and fraud detectors. This enables agents to bypass common blocking mechanisms and access services that were previously restricted to manual human interaction. KYAPay does not aim to define agentic identity in its entirety. Rather, it specifies a standard and extensible JSON Web Token (JWT) that can be used to securely share human principal and agent identity information with websites and APIs. KYAPay tokens provide a strong signal of human presence behind agentic requests that are otherwise indistinguishable from programmatic and potentially malicious bot requests. Note that, in the future, the payment token functionality could be split into a separate specification, if desired by a working group adopting the specification. It is retained here at present for ease of reviewing.

Use Cases for the KYAPay Token Enabling agents to access websites and APIs on behalf of the human principals they represent is a design goal of KYAPay tokens. Today’s internet is designed primarily for humans, meaning that automated systems are often classified as malicious and blocked by web security infrastructure. However, the rise of AI agents has introduced a new paradigm where programmatic clients legitimately access websites and APIs on behalf of human principals. Because these agents can be hard to distinguish from traditional bots, they are often inadvertently blocked, creating a need for the web security ecosystem to distinguish between legitimate agentic traffic and truly malicious activity. KYAPay tokens are designed to address this challenge by enabling agents to convey verified identity and payment credentials. These tokens can provide web security systems and merchants with a strong signal that the requests are authorized by a human, allowing them to safely permit legitimate programmatic transactions while aggressively blocking undesired traffic. Enabling agents to create accounts and/or log in to accounts on behalf of their human principals is a related design goal. To achieve this, systems can utilize a token exchange workflow . In this process, a Security Token Service (STS), Identity Provider (IdP), or OAuth Authorization Server verifies incoming KYA tokens and extracts claims associated with the human principal, such as email addresses. The authorization server then performs a token exchange, swapping the KYA token for a standard OAuth Access Token, which the agent subsequently uses to interact with the target service. Crucially, this architecture allows the service to know that the agent is acting on behalf of the user, making it possible to differentiate between direct, human-present sessions and human-initiated, agentic sessions for authorization, auditing, and security purposes. Enabling agents to have ubiquity of access across the Internet just like their human principals is a related design goal. Automation typically scales as it achieves higher reliability and lower cost-to-entry. Unlike the structured logic required by cron jobs or low-code / no-code platforms, agentic automation leverages LLMs to execute tasks via natural language, effectively removing the software-skill barrier. As model reasoning improves and infrastructure scales, these agents become increasingly dependable and affordable for the human principal. To maximize utility, agents require ubiquitous Internet access, a feat made possible by KYAPay Token Issuers. By providing a client-side verification framework analogous to the server-side role of Certificate Authorities (CAs), KYAPay builds a standardized network of acceptance across the web security ecosystem. This allows for the seamless attestation of both the agent’s and the human principal’s identity, ensuring secure, cross-domain task execution without the friction of fragmented authentication silos. Enabling the ecosystem of web security vendors to engage in finer-grained and deliberate bad-actor mitigation is a related design goal. KYA tokens provide a layered, verified, and extensible identity stack specifically engineered for autonomous agents. This framework allows the web security ecosystem to distinguish among individual agent instances, the platforms they run on, and the human principals behind them. By establishing this level of granular visibility, security systems can transition from broad defensive measures to specific mitigation; rather than being forced to block an entire platform, administrators can now isolate and neutralize a single malicious human user or a malfunctioning software instance without disrupting legitimate traffic. Note that the protocols using these tokens to achieve these goals are not defined by this specification. The interoperable use of them for these purposes will require further specification. Early production deployments of KYAPay tokens are described at https://kyapay.org.

Roles

Agent:

An application, service, or specific software process, executing on behalf of a Principal.

Agent Identity:

A unique identifier and a set of claims describing an agent. Grouped into the aid claim for convenience. Because an agent can be public or confidential (as described in ), the level of assurance for these claims varies dramatically. Agents also vary in terms of longevity -- they can have stable long-running identities (such as those of a server-side confidential client), or they can be transient and ephemeral, and correspond to individual API calls or compute workloads.

Agent Platform:

The service provider and runtime environment hosting the Agent, such as a cloud compute provider or AI operator service. Assertions about the agent platform are grouped into the apd claim, and are primarily used to identify the Principal entity operating the platform, allowing consumers of the token to apply reputation-based logic or offer platform-specific services.

Principal:

A legal entity (human or organization) on whose behalf / in whose authority an agent or service is operating.

Initiator Roles

Initiator Agent:

An Agent performing tasks on behalf of an Initiator Principal, that has its own Agent Identity, grouped into the aid claim.

Initiator Agent Platform:

The Agent Platform hosting the Initiator Agent. Some use cases require the Platform to have its own verified identity assertions, grouped into the apd claim.

Initiator Principal:

A legal entity (human or organization) behind the purchase / consumption of a product or service. In buyer/seller transactions, the Initiator is the buyer. The Principal typically interacts with the target via an Initiator Agent. Many targets are required to be able to determine the Initiator Identity in order to comply with KYC/AML regulations, accounting standards, and to maintain a direct customer relationships. The initiator principal's identity is grouped into the hid claim.

Initiator Identity:

The aggregate verified identity assertions of the initiator entities, typically encompassing the Initiator Principal, the Initiator Agent Platform, and the Initiator Agent itself. This composite identity is conveyed via the KYA token, allowing the target to verify the entire chain of responsibility behind a request. The initiator identity utilizes the hid, apd, and aid claims.

Target Roles

Target Agent:

An Agent performing tasks on behalf of a Target Principal, directly interacting with Initiator Agents to facilitate discovery and purchase. Typically runs on Internet-connected infrastructure, and discoverable via service directories. Target agent identity claims are also grouped into the aid claim if KYA tokens are generated for the targets.

Target Agent Platform:

The Agent Platform that hosts Target Agents. Some use cases require the Platform to have its own verified identity assertions, grouped into the apd claim.

Target Principal:

A human principal (individual or organization) that that owns the product, service, API, website, or content being consumed or sold, and serves as the ultimate beneficiary of a transaction. In buyer/seller transactions, the Target is the seller. The target principal's identity is grouped into the hid claim.

Target Identity:

The aggregate verified identity assertions of the target entities, typically encompassing the Target Principal, the Target Agent Platform, as well as the Target Agent Identity. These various aspects of Target Identity allow Initiators and Initiator Agents to perform reputation-based logic, to verify that they are interacting with the authorized (and expected) counter-party, and to fulfill KYC/AML regulation requirements. The target identity utilizes the hid, apd, and aid claims.

Ecosystem Infrastructure Roles

Identity Token Issuer:

A trusted neutral entity that conducts Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) (for organizations) verifications. It is responsible for issuing cryptographically signed kya tokens that attest to the identity of the Principal, Agent, and Agent Platform, for both Initiators and Targets.

Payment Token Issuer:

A trusted entity responsible for facilitating the exchange of payments and credentials between the Initiator and Target. It issues signed pay tokens that enable settlement via various schemes (Cards, Banks, Cryptocurrency), without exposing raw credentials or secrets.

Token Validation

Validating KYA and PAY Tokens

JWT Header Validation

1. alg - JWTs MUST be signed using allowed JWA algorithms (currently, ES256).
2. kid - The kid claim MUST be present, and set to a valid Key ID discoverable via the issuer's (payload iss claim) JWK Set.
3. typ - The typ header parameter value MUST be one of: kya+jwt, pay+jwt, or kya-pay+jwt.

JWT Payload Validation

1. Verify JWT Signature - Valid JWTs MUST be signed with a valid key belonging To the token's issuer (iss claim)
2. Validate iss Claim - Ensure that the token is signed by the expected valid issuer.
3. Validate the exp Claim - The verifier MUST validate that the token has not expired, within the verifier's clock drift tolerance.
4. Validate the iat Claim - The verifier MUST validate that the token was issued in the past, within the verifier's clock drift tolerance.
5. Validate the jti Claim - Ensure that the jti claim is present, and is a UUID.
6. Validate the aud Claim - Ensure that the aud identifies the recipient as the intended audience.
7. Validate the env Claim - Ensure that the Environment claim is set to an expected and use case appropriate value (such as production or sandbox)

Validating PAY Tokens For tokens of type pay+jwt or kya-pay+jwt, perform the steps described in the Validating KYA and PAY Tokens section. In addition, perform the following steps.

1. The val claim is greater than 0.
2. The amt claim is greater than 0.
3. The cur claim is set to a currency the target supports (such as USD)
4. The tps claim, if present, matches the pricing scheme that you configured in the target's service
5. The tpr claim, if present, matches the price that you configured in the target's service

Security Considerations When validating the JWTs described in this specification, implementers SHOULD follow the best practices and guidelines described in .

Privacy Considerations KYAPay tokens are designed to convey the information that an agent is acting on behalf of a principal - a person or organization. To do this, they will necessarily contain information about that principal that can be verified and utilized by participants in the system. Participants should therefore only share these tokens with other legitimate participants and not make their contents public or disclose them to unknown or untrustworthy parties. Consent of the principal represented to participate in the interactions is vital. If I authorize an agent to shop for a widget at given price, it's legitimate for the agent to carry enough information about me to the merchant to be able to do this for me. Whereas, if an agent claims to be shopping for me but does not have my authorization to do so, my privacy and possibly also my financial integrity are being violated. The principle of minimal disclosure should be employed. Only the infomation needed to facilitate the intended interactions should be placed in the tokens and conveyed to participants.

References Normative References JSON Web Signature (JWS) represents content secured with digital signatures or Message Authentication Codes (MACs) using JSON-based data structures. Cryptographic algorithms and identifiers for use with this specification are described in the separate JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) specification and an IANA registry defined by that specification. Related encryption capabilities are described in the separate JSON Web Encryption (JWE) specification. This specification registers cryptographic algorithms and identifiers to be used with the JSON Web Signature (JWS), JSON Web Encryption (JWE), and JSON Web Key (JWK) specifications. It defines several IANA registries for these identifiers. JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a JWT are encoded as a JSON object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or integrity protected with a Message Authentication Code (MAC) and/or encrypted. The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf. This specification replaces and obsoletes the OAuth 1.0 protocol described in RFC 5849. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This specification defines a protocol for an HTTP- and JSON-based Security Token Service (STS) by defining how to request and obtain security tokens from OAuth 2.0 authorization servers, including security tokens employing impersonation and delegation. In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings. Informative References This second document defines the general structure of the MIME media typing system and defines an initial set of media types. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document defines procedures for the specification and registration of media types for use in HTTP, MIME, and other Internet protocols. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice. JSON Web Tokens, also known as JWTs, are URL-safe JSON-based security tokens that contain a set of claims that can be signed and/or encrypted. JWTs are being widely used and deployed as a simple security token format in numerous protocols and applications, both in the area of digital identity and in other application areas. This Best Current Practices document updates RFC 7519 to provide actionable guidance leading to secure implementation and deployment of JWTs. n.d. n.d.
