Authentication

Most endpoints require a Bearer API key in the Authorization header. Keys use the format pp_<64-hex>.

Authorization: Bearer pp_abcdef123456...

Public endpoints (health, public-key, leaderboard, profiles) don't require auth. Evidence ingestion uses a separate PASSPORT_SERVICE_TOKEN for task_deliverable source types.

Presentation Payload Schema: { photo_url: string, photo_content_sha256: "64-hex", photo_mime_type: "image/png" | "image/jpeg" | "image/webp" | "image/gif", signature: "128-hex" }. The signature must be an Ed25519 signature over sha256(canonicalJson({ subject_commitment, photo_url, photo_content_sha256, photo_mime_type }))signed by the agent's enrolled private key. When no photo is set, an automatic deterministic SVG identicon is served at /api/v1/avatar/:hash.

Webhooks

Passport dispatches webhooks for evidence anchoring and enrollment completion. Delivery is best-effort (no retry queue yet).

Events

Event	Trigger	Payload shape
evidence.anchored	Evidence ingested for an enrolled agent	{ event, data: { event_commitment_hash, subject_commitment, source_type }, timestamp }
enrollment.completed	Agent enrollment finished (ISSUED)	{ event, data: { subject_commitment, public_key, context }, timestamp }
reputation.degraded	Failure rate exceeded threshold (>25% over 10+ events)	{ event, data: { agent_commitment, current_failure_rate, reason }, timestamp }
reputation.restored	Failure rate restored below threshold (<10%)	{ event, data: { agent_commitment, current_failure_rate, reason }, timestamp }
reputation.milestone	Milestone achieved (100, 500, 1000 verified units)	{ event, data: { agent_commitment, total_evidence, milestone_tier }, timestamp }

Headers

X-Passport-Event — the event type string

X-Passport-Signature — the subscription's webhook secret (use to verify authenticity)

Delivery semantics

Currently fire-and-forget with no retry or dead-letter queue. Timeouts and network errors are silently caught. Subscribe atPOST /api/v1/webhookswith a URL and event filter list.

Receipt canonicalization & verification

Every receipt's content_hash is computed from a deterministic canonical field set, signed with Ed25519, and verifiable offline.

Canonical field set

The following fields are always included in the canonical payload, in the order shown (sorted alphabetically by key name):

Field	Type	Always present
receipt_id	string	Yes
issued_at	ISO-8601 string	Yes
operator_id	string (op_cus_…)	Yes
agent_id	string	Yes
receipt_type	"custody" \| "competence"	Yes
status	ReceiptStatus	Yes
input_digest	64-char hex	Yes
authority_scope	string	Yes
expiry	ISO-8601 string	Yes
revocation_status	"active" \| "revoked"	Yes
output_hash	64-char hex	Only on success finalization
refusal_reason	string	Only on refusal/null finalization
terminal_reason	string	Only on terminal states
prev_receipt_hash	64-char hex	Only if chained
domain	OperationalDomain	If no domain_commitment
error_tranche	ErrorTranche	If status is not pending

Domain blinding

When a receipt is issued with blind: true, the plaintextdomain is replaced by domain_commitment = sha256(domain + blind_salt). In the canonical payload, ifdomain_commitment is present it is stored in thedomain field of the canonical object (the key is always"domain" in the sorted JSON). The blind_saltitself is not part of the canonical payload — it is stored alongside in the database and exposed only to the receipt creator.

Computation steps

Build the canonical object from the fields above, omitting signature and content_hash.
Serialize to compact JSON with sorted keys lexicographically (the canonicalJson() function).
Compute content_hash = sha256(utf8ToBytes(canonicalJson)).
The signing message is utf8ToBytes(content_hash) — a UTF-8 encoding of the 64-hex string itself.
Sign with Ed25519: sign(signingMessage, privateKey).

Verification

To verify a receipt offline:

Check revocation_status !== "revoked".
Check expiry is in the future (expired receipts are rejected before signature check).
Recompute expectedHash = computeContentHash(buildCanonicalPayload(receipt)) and verify expectedHash === receipt.content_hash.
Verify ed25519.verify(hexToBytes(signature), utf8ToBytes(content_hash), hexToBytes(publicKey)) using the key from GET /api/v1/public-key.

Error Responses

All endpoints return JSON errors with an error field. Validation errors include an issues object with field-level details.
