Use cases

One trust-routing pattern across seven authority problems.

ConsentKey can support AI agent authorization, purpose-bound access, digital authority, minimum-necessary disclosure, delegated authority, and decision receipts without publishing protected implementation details.

Use case 1

AI Agent Action Governance

Let agents assist without giving them uncontrolled authority.

AI agents can move from reading to drafting, recommending, requesting approval, and executing actions. Each step may require different authority.

Example requester
An enterprise AI agent assisting a service team.
Example request
Access selected customer information and send an external message.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate identity, purpose, data sensitivity, disclosure rules, action type, approval requirements, and time limits.
Possible decision
Partially approved with human review before external sending.
Minimum permitted result
Selected fields released for drafting only, with no external disclosure until a human approves.
Decision receipt
Requester, purpose, permitted fields, denied external send, reviewer requirement, time limit, and decision timestamp.
Organizational value
Helps organizations let AI agents assist while keeping delegated authority explicit, scoped, and reviewable.
Public-safe mock scenario
A support agent drafts a response using only account status and recent case context. The message remains a draft until a manager approves external delivery.

Use case 2

Enterprise Identity and Privileged Access

Authentication confirms identity. ConsentKey evaluates whether the request is justified.

Employees, contractors, vendors, workloads, and non-human identities may be authenticated but still request access beyond the immediate purpose.

Example requester
A contractor or workload identity requesting temporary administrative elevation.
Example request
Read sensitive records or export restricted data for a specific task.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate role, assignment, purpose, policy, authentication state, risk, approval requirements, and export sensitivity.
Possible decision
Time-limited access with additional authentication or manager review.
Minimum permitted result
Read-only or selected-record access rather than broad administrative permission.
Decision receipt
Identity, role, purpose, policy basis, scope, reviewer where applicable, and expiration.
Organizational value
Reduces ambiguity in delegated authority and supports identity and access governance without replacing existing identity providers.
Public-safe mock scenario
A vendor is authenticated but only receives access to a named project record set for a two-hour support window.

Use case 3

Healthcare and Emergency Access

Release what the care purpose requires, not the entire record.

Treatment, scheduling, billing, caregiver access, emergency events, and healthcare AI assistance may require different minimum information.

Example requester
A care workflow, caregiver, or healthcare AI assistant.
Example request
Access selected medical, eligibility, or emergency information.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate care purpose, requester role, consent posture, urgency, identity, policy, and minimum-necessary information.
Possible decision
Purpose-bound release, emergency-limited access, human review, or denial.
Minimum permitted result
Selected medical fields, verified eligibility, or time-limited emergency information.
Decision receipt
Purpose, requester, urgency, released fields, time limit, and accountable decision record.
Organizational value
Designed to support purpose-bound and minimum-necessary healthcare access without making certification claims.
Public-safe mock scenario
An emergency workflow receives allergies, medication alerts, and emergency contact data for a short window instead of the full record.

Use case 4

Banking, Payments, and Digital Value

Separate permission to analyze from authority to move value.

Analysis, purchase requests, refunds, transfers, wallet actions, and payment proposals should not all receive the same authority.

Example requester
A finance application, AI assistant, employee, or automated workflow.
Example request
Analyze an account, recommend a payment, or request a value-moving action.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate recipient, account, amount, purpose, approval path, time window, risk, and permitted action type.
Possible decision
Recommendation only, one-time authorization, human approval required, or denial.
Minimum permitted result
Exact recipient, maximum amount, approved account, and short authorization window.
Decision receipt
Purpose, requested action, permitted amount, account boundary, approver requirement, and expiration.
Organizational value
Helps separate insight from authority so digital value actions remain scoped and accountable.
Public-safe mock scenario
An assistant may recommend a refund but cannot execute it until a human approves the exact amount and recipient.

Use case 5

Identity and Credential Sharing

Prove the needed fact without exposing the entire identity record.

Many requests need a yes/no answer or selected attribute, not a full identity profile or credential bundle.

Example requester
A relying application, employer workflow, insurer, or service provider.
Example request
Verify age eligibility, employment status, residency, insurance eligibility, credential validity, or identity match.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate requester legitimacy, purpose, attribute sensitivity, consent, policy, proof type, and expiration.
Possible decision
Predicate proof, selected attribute, redacted credential, time-limited verification, or denial.
Minimum permitted result
A yes/no predicate or limited credential proof rather than the whole identity record.
Decision receipt
Requester, purpose, proof type, attribute scope, consent basis, and time limit.
Organizational value
Supports purpose-bound credential sharing while reducing unnecessary exposure of identity data.
Public-safe mock scenario
A service receives an age-eligible proof instead of a birthdate, address, and full identity document.

Use case 6

Mobile, App, and Device Permissions

Move beyond broad permission prompts toward purpose-aware access.

Location, camera, microphone, contacts, wallet, sensors, and cross-application actions are often requested through broad prompts.

Example requester
A mobile app, connected device, or cross-application workflow.
Example request
Access exact location, a contact list, device sensors, or a cross-app action.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate purpose, foreground or background state, requested precision, user consent, policy, and risk.
Possible decision
Approximate location, one-time access, foreground-only access, selected contact, additional approval, or denial.
Minimum permitted result
The smallest permission that satisfies the stated purpose.
Decision receipt
Requester, permission, purpose, precision, duration, consent posture, and expiration.
Organizational value
Helps organizations and users move from broad permission prompts toward purpose-aware controls.
Public-safe mock scenario
An app receives approximate city-level location for a local recommendation rather than continuous exact location.

Use case 7

IoT, Vehicles, and Physical Access

Apply the same authority boundary to connected environments.

Connected homes, vehicles, facilities, delivery workflows, and equipment controls need scoped access rather than open-ended permission.

Example requester
A named person, delivery workflow, vehicle system, device, or facilities application.
Example request
Unlock access, activate equipment, control a device, or permit a delivery action.
ConsentKey evaluation
ConsentKey can evaluate identity, device posture, location, permitted action, duration, context, consent, policy, and risk.
Possible decision
Limited-duration physical or device permission with future-access revocation where technically possible.
Minimum permitted result
Named person or device, specific location, permitted action, and bounded time window.
Decision receipt
Requester, location, device or access point, action, duration, policy basis, and decision record.
Organizational value
Extends trust routing from digital requests into connected environments while preserving accountability.
Public-safe mock scenario
A delivery workflow receives one-time lobby access for a specific window, not recurring building access.
