The problem, in one sentence

AI agents take decisions that can cost millions, trigger lawsuits, or violate regulations โ€”
and most systems log them in files that anyone can edit.

The core principle

PiQrypt stores actions, not documents.

โŒ DO NOT store             โœ… PiQrypt stores
โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€          โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€
Your PDF                    hash(PDF)          โ†’ no content leak
Your image                  Timestamp          โ†’ RFC 3161, independent
Your patient data           Ed25519 signature  โ†’ cryptographic identity
Sensitive API responses     Chain continuity   โ†’ tamper-proof history

Why this is smarter than storing the document:

Storing the document Storing the hash (PiQrypt)
GDPR exposure GDPR-friendly by design
Massive storage cost Negligible footprint
Content breach risk Zero content ever stored
Hard to scale Scales to millions of events
Legal liability Minimal surface

3-line integration

import piqrypt as aiss

# That's really it.
event = aiss.stamp_event(private_key, agent_id, {"action": "approved", "amount": 50000})
aiss.store_event(event)

< 10ms per event. Local-first. No network required.

# More complete example
private_key, public_key = aiss.generate_keypair()
agent_id = aiss.derive_agent_id(public_key)

event = aiss.stamp_event(private_key, agent_id, {
    "event_type": "trade_executed",
    "symbol": "AAPL",
    "quantity": 100,
    "price": 150.25,
    "confidence": 0.95
})

aiss.store_event(event)
aiss.export_audit_chain("audit-q1-2026.json", certified=True)

Why PiQrypt โ€” not just a logger

PiQrypt is the reference implementation of AISS v1.1 (Agent Identity & Signature Standard) and its Proof of Continuity Protocol (PCP).

Unlike structured logging or observability tools, PiQrypt provides:

  • Cryptographic identity โ€” each agent has a unique, unforgeable ID derived from its keypair
  • Non-repudiation โ€” a signed event cannot be denied; the agent cannot claim it didn't act
  • Agent-to-agent trust โ€” A2A handshake co-signs interactions between agents, making multi-agent pipelines fully auditable end-to-end
  • External certification โ€” export your audit trail and receive a CA-signed certified bundle in minutes, without sharing any content โ€” for legal-grade third-party proof
  • OpenClaw native โ€” plugs directly into OpenClaw orchestration pipelines with zero workflow changes (integration guide)
  • Post-quantum readiness โ€” Dilithium3 (NIST FIPS 204) ensures your proofs remain valid for 50+ years
LangChain / AutoGen / OpenClaw  โ†’  produce the decision
              LLM               โ†’  generates the content
           PiQrypt              โ†’  guarantees cryptographic continuity
           Sentinel             โ†’  monitors network stability

Analogy that clicks:

  • Git = versions your code
  • TLS = secures your communication
  • Kubernetes = orchestrates your containers
  • PiQrypt = proves what your AI decided

Industry compliance at a glance

Industry Regulation What PiQrypt covers
