About Auth Lineage Network

AuthLN is the Auth Lineage Network.

Lineage means any action can be traced back through every agent and hand-off to the person whose authority it ran on.

When AI agents hand work to other agents, no one can say who authorized each action or show that it stayed within its limits. We are building the network that can.

Lineage: authority traced from a personAuthority starts on the left, from one person, and branches out to three agents, then to sub-agents and their sub-agents, and each branch is narrower than the one before. An action from the last sub-agent passes a gate and is added as a new block to a record held to the right, outside the system that acted.

The mark

The fan in the logo is that lineage.

One person on the left. Authority branching and narrowing to the right: each node smaller than the one before, every branch traceable back to where it started.

The same shape runs through every graphic on this site, because it is the thing we prove.

What we do

Everything is about authority.

Authority to enter

Who is allowed in. Every sign-in attempt resolves to Authorized, Denied or Walked away.

The record

Proof of both

Every sign-in attempt, grant, action and refusal lands on a record the actor cannot rewrite.

The record

The expertise to run it, and the people ready to build it.

Start here

Start with what is running today. Book an Agent Access Review.

Two weeks, from read-only exports, with nothing installed. You get an inventory of your agents, a map of what each can reach and under whose authority, and a plan your people own.

One person approves one agent. The agent starts sub-agents that fade from view, and the trail ends in a question mark: nobody can say how many there are or who owns them.?

And the questions that follow

  1. 01How many changes can one agent, and the sub-agents it starts, make in our systems?
  2. 02When we revoke a person’s access, do the agents acting for them lose it at the same moment?
  3. 03If an agent is compromised, what did it do, and under whose authority?
  4. 04When did an agent first reach sensitive data, and whose grant let it?
