Human Root of Trust: A Framework for Cryptographic Accountability in Autonomous Agent Systems

Summary

The Human Root of Trust is an open framework for establishing cryptographic accountability in autonomous agent systems. It addresses the fundamental assumption that digital systems have historically relied on human presence at the other end, and proposes a principle where every autonomous agent must ultimately trace back to a human entity for accountability. The framework is presented as a public domain, open architecture rather than a product or standard, aiming to create systems where autonomous agents can be held accountable through cryptographic verification of their human roots.
