AAuth Night: Moving Beyond OAuth

AAuth Night is back! We had a great turnout for AAuth Night during the AI Engineer World Fair in July, and we're continuing the conversation this autumn in San Francisco.AI engineers are discovering that connecting agents to company tools means rebuilding the identity layer from scratch: short-lived credentials, per-user delegation, audit trails, scoped access, and secure multi-agent handoffs. Every team is solving the same problems independently, and many are still relying on bearer tokens and long-lived API keys that were never designed for autonomous systems.AAuth is a new auth protocol designed for agents, built by the author of OAuth, Dick Hardt. AAuth lets you run your agent without API Keys and bounds an agent's authority to its mission, re-checked at every step rather than approved once at the moment a scope is granted.​What to expectLIVE LIGHTNING DEMOSSee AAuth in action​What you'll learnIf you're deploying agents and tired of rebuilding the auth layer from scratch every time, come hang out.
