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 DO NOT store โ
PiQrypt stores
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | SEC Rule 17a-4 | 7-year tamper-proof trade audit |
| Healthcare | HIPAA | Immutable AI diagnosis records |
| HR | GDPR Art. 22 | Explainable, verifiable hiring decisions |
| Automotive | EU AI Act | Black-box with crypto proof |
| Supply chain | ISO 27001 | Non-repudiable logistics decisions |
