Verifiable Delegation and Revocation in Multi-Agent Networks
How can people and institutions verify which human, organization, agent, or sub-agent is acting; what authority it received; what limits apply; and whether that authority has been narrowed or revoked across a multi-principal agent network?
Why this matters
The question behind the brief.
Faith communities and their partner organizations operate through high-trust relationships, delegated roles, and accountable authority. An agent acting for a church, ministry, service provider, donor, or software vendor can make a message or action appear institutionally authorized when it is not. The same problem extends beyond faith settings to charities, schools, health-adjacent nonprofits, and other organizations that coordinate across trust boundaries.
