Description

For years we told ourselves identity was solved. We know who you are, we know what you're allowed to do, ship it. Then we hired agents that act on their own, and the tidy story started to fray. Authentication and authorization tell us who's at the door and what they can touch. Neither was built for the questions agentic systems now force into the control plane, and they're governance questions: Who created this entity? Who trained it? Who authorized it? Who can revoke it? Who is it economically aligned to? This session is about that gap, and what changes when we treat authorship as identity's third pillar. Steve shares why he launched AuthR as an open protocol to give that pillar a home.
