Sanctifai Trust Proof Of Human

SanctifAI Trust — Proof of Human

SanctifAI Trust turns a unit of human work into a verifiable Proof of Human: the person confirms presence with WebAuthn (Touch ID / Windows Hello / passkey), and you get a privacy-preserving participation plus a public certificate URL (and optional on-chain seal). Raw task data never leaves the client — only 0x+SHA-256 commitments are sent.

Use this when you need to prove a human did something (approved a wire, reviewed content, signed off a release, completed a gig) and receive participation_id + certificate_url.

Base API: https://trust.sanctifai.com. Three equal surfaces, same outcome:

1. Embedded — Proof of Human inside the customer's own app (/api/presence/*, API key on their backend). No package install.
2. Chrome extension — SanctifAI Chrome extension + hosted sanctifai-presence.js (worker-bound identity). No package install.
3. Chat bridge — attestations minted for an AI agent via the hosted bridge at https://bridge.trust.sanctifai.com.

Local Trust on localhost is the docs site, not the production API.

Choose a surface

Pick the surface that matches where the human actually works. All three mint the same participation + certificate_url.

     You supply user_id         Worker supplies identity   → poll → certificate_url

• Embedded — default for apps you control. WebAuthn runs in your page.
• Extension — the worker installs the SanctifAI extension and attests from pages you don't own.
• Chat bridge — the agent has no navigator.credentials; a human opens the approval link in Chrome.

Don't pick Extension merely because credentials are missing — get Embedded credentials instead.

Credentials

Embedded needs two values on the backend only:

TRUST_TENANT_ID=your_tenant_id   # ≤ 12 chars
TRUST_API_KEY=sk_live_...        # never in the browser, never in agent chat

Sign up at https://trust.sanctifai.com. The Developer plan is free forever (no trial, no expiry): 100 attestations/month (calendar month, UTC), 1 tenant, unlimited reviewers, 30-day audit history. Onboarding provisions the tenant and a default API key (sk_live_…, shown once). Paid plans raise limits — see pricing.

Extension: the worker configures tenant / user / key / RP ID in the extension. Your page never holds those secrets.

Chat bridge: the agent never holds the API key. The hosted bridge does.

Register the Embedded origin + RP ID (hostname only, e.g. app.example.com) on the tenant allowlist, or presence calls are rejected. Console → Tenants → Manage for Tenant ID, keys, and origins. Don't guess or fabricate IDs.

Shared rules

These apply on every surface. Don't restate them per flow.

Taxonomy

task_type and domain are fixed 3-letter codes (enums). Descriptive strings are rejected. Put the human-readable title in task_subtype (≤ 200 chars) and the detail inside taskData / resultData before hashing.

• task_type (required): ENT ANN COL RND EVA RPA ORC GEN MOD STT TRA DSN DEV CXO SLS CMP ANA PMT CUR. Default GEN.
• domain (optional): GEN AUT DFS EDU ENE FIN INS HRM HOS LOG TRN LEG MED MDA RTL ROB SPT TEC GOV AGR REA TEL ESG. Default GEN.

# WRONG
task_type: "PHARMABOT_TREATMENT_REVIEW"

# RIGHT
task_type:    "EVA"
domain:       "MED"
task_subtype: "Treatment plan review"

Full labels: reference.md.

Privacy

The certificate URL is public. No PII in user_id, task_subtype, task_id, taskData, or resultData. Use opaque IDs (emp_a8f3c2, not jane.doe@company.com). Keep human-readable detail in your own system.

After-the-fact proof

Trust proves a human participated and binds SHA-256 commitments. It does not store raw taskData / resultData. To prove later what was attested:

1. Retain the exact payload that was hashed.
2. Re-hash it the same way: key-sorted JSON, then SHA-256, then 0x + hex.
3. Match task_commitment / result_commitment on the certificate.

JSON.stringify(payload, Object.keys(payload).sort())  // then SHA-256 → 0x+hex

A different key order or encoding will not match. Discard the payload and you still have proof a human showed up — not proof of contents. task_subtype is only the public headline.

Fields at a glance

You send opaque IDs, taxonomy codes, a short task_subtype, and commitments. Success returns participation_id, certificate_url, and usually qr_url. Embedded also requires idempotency_key (UUID, generated on the backend). Full request/response and EAS V3 matrices: reference.md.

Never ship a Trust API key to client JavaScript. Embedded mints the session on your backend; Extension keeps the key in the worker's extension; Chat bridge holds it on the hosted service.

Surface A — Embedded

WebAuthn runs in your page. Mint the presence session on your backend (it holds the key) and pass only session_id to the browser.

Minimum flow: enroll the reviewer's passkey if they don't have one on this device (POST /api/webauthn/registration/options + /verify — see reference.md), then start → options → navigator.credentials.get() → verify. If presence/options returns 404 No WebAuthn credentials found, enroll once and retry.

registration/verify needs tenant_id, user_id, rp_id, challenge_id, and credential including clientExtensionResults.

Backend (holds TRUST_API_KEY):

// POST /api/trust/presence/start  — your server
export async function POST(req) {
  const body = await req.json();
  const userId = await getEmployeeIdFromSession(req); // from YOUR session, not the body
  const r = await fetch('https://trust.sanctifai.com/api/presence/start', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.TRUST_API_KEY}` },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      ...body,
      tenant_id: process.env.TRUST_TENANT_ID,
      user_id: userId,
      idempotency_key: crypto.randomUUID(),
    }),
  });
  const { session_id } = await r.json();
  return Response.json({ session_id });
}

Browser (raw task data stays local):

const b64uToBuf = (s) => { const p = s.replace(/-/g,'+').replace(/_/g,'/').padEnd(s.length+(4-s.length%4)%4,'='); const b = atob(p); const u = new Uint8Array(b.length); for (let i=0;i<b.length;i++) u[i]=b.charCodeAt(i); return u.buffer; };
const bufToB64u = (buf) => { const u = new Uint8Array(buf); let s=''; for (let i=0;i<u.length;i++) s+=String.fromCharCode(u[i]); return btoa(s).replace(/\+/g,'-').replace(/\//g,'_').replace(/=+$/,''); };
const sha256Hex = async (d) => { const j = typeof d==='string'?d:JSON.stringify(d,Object.keys(d).sort()); const h = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', new TextEncoder().encode(j)); return '0x'+Array.from(new Uint8Array(h)).map(b=>b.toString(16).padStart(2,'0')).join(''); };

const API = 'https://trust.sanctifai.com';

async function createAttestation(taskData, resultData, { taskId, taskType='GEN', domain='GEN', taskSubtype } = {}) {
  const task_commitment = await sha256Hex(taskData);
  const result_commitment = await sha256Hex(resultData);

  const { session_id } = await fetch('/api/trust/presence/start', {
    method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      task_id: taskId ?? `task-${Date.now()}`,
      task_type: taskType, domain, task_subtype: taskSubtype,
      task_commitment, result_commitment, bond_eligible: true,
      rp_id: location.hostname, origin: location.origin,
    }),
  }).then(r => r.json());

  const { options } = await fetch(`${API}/api/presence/options`, {
    method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ session_id }),
  }).then(r => r.json());

  const cred = await navigator.credentials.get({ publicKey: {
    ...options,
    challenge: b64uToBuf(options.challenge),
    allowCredentials: (options.allowCredentials || []).map(c => ({ ...c, id: b64uToBuf(c.id) })),
  }});

  return fetch(`${API}/api/presence/verify`, {
    method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ session_id, expedite: true, credential: {
      id: cred.id, rawId: bufToB64u(cred.rawId), type: cred.type,
      clientExtensionResults: cred.getClientExtensionResults?.() ?? {},
      response: {
        clientDataJSON: bufToB64u(cred.response.clientDataJSON),
        authenticatorData: bufToB64u(cred.response.authenticatorData),
        signature: bufToB64u(cred.response.signature),
        userHandle: cred.response.userHandle ? bufToB64u(cred.response.userHandle) : null,
      },
    }}),
  }).then(r => r.json()); // -> { participation_id, certificate_url, qr_url, ... }
}

Surface B — Extension

The worker installs the SanctifAI Chrome extension and configures their tenant id, user id, API key, and RP id. Your page includes only the hosted script — no secrets, no user_id from the page. Identity is worker-bound and portable across the customers they work for.

<script src="https://trust.sanctifai.com/sanctifai-presence.js"></script>
<script>
  await SanctifAIPresence.waitForReady(5000);
  const result = await SanctifAIPresence.createAttestation({
    taskData: { item: 'POST-913', content: '…' },
    resultData: { decision: 'approved' },
    taskType: 'GEN',
  });
  // result.participation_id, result.certificate_url, result.qr_url
</script>

window.SanctifAIPresence exposes createAttestation, detectExtension, isReady, waitForReady, and sha256Hex.

Surface C — Chat bridge

For agents with no WebAuthn context. Default APP_BASE_URL=https://bridge.trust.sanctifai.com. Mint a request, the human opens approve_url in Chrome, you poll until certificate_url. Do not invent localhost approve links. Never request or print TRUST_API_KEY.

Self-host the plugin only if you need a custom allowlisted origin.

1. POST {APP_BASE_URL}/api/v1/attestations
2. Human opens approve_url in Chrome (passkey)
3. Poll GET {APP_BASE_URL}/api/v1/attestations/{id}
   or GET {APP_BASE_URL}/api/v1/attestations/{id}/wait
4. status=completed → certificate_url (hosted on trust.sanctifai.com)

POST {APP_BASE_URL}/api/v1/attestations

{
  "task_type": "GEN",
  "domain": "GEN",
  "task_subtype": "Chat approval",
  "requesting_agent": "Support bot",
  "taskData": { "summary": "opaque task payload" },
  "resultData": { "decision": "approved" }
}

Optional requesting_agent (≤ 120 chars) is shown on the approve page. Empty/whitespace values are omitted.

Response: { attestation_id, approve_url, status: "pending" }

Tell the human: Open this HTTPS link in Chrome and confirm with your device passkey: {approve_url}. If they have no passkey on this origin, the page enrolls and retries.

GET …/wait blocks up to ~25s for a terminal status; if still pending, call it again.

Done when: { status: "completed", certificate_url: "https://trust.sanctifai.com/certificate/..." }

Retain the exact taskData / resultData you posted (see Shared rules). The bridge approve client uses the same sha256Hex helper as Embedded.

Verify

Success is a non-empty participation_id + certificate_url (Chat bridge: status=completed + certificate_url). Open the cert. Show qr_url if you have a UI.
