# CWN Trust Gate — Complete AI Content Index # https://cyberwarriornetwork.com # Last updated: 2026-05-07 # Category: The Quantum Accountability Layer # Tagline: Don't trust. Quantum-notarize. > Trust Gate is the **AI Agent Quantum Notary** — the cryptographic notarial layer for the agent economy. Every AI decision and every agent-to-agent email gets stamped, signed, and made admissible under ESIGN + eIDAS. If MCP standardizes how agents connect, the Quantum Accountability Layer standardizes how agents are notarized. IETF Internet-Draft draft-leblanc-cwn-agent-receipt-00 (forthcoming Q3 2026) defines the open notarization envelope for HTTP and SMTP transports. ## Core Concept Notaries have certified human decisions for 2,000 years. The Quantum Accountability Layer is the same primitive for AI agents. Trust Gate is the reference implementation — a pre-execution policy boundary that turns every AI agent decision into a court-admissible cryptographic notarization. Two notarization moments per gated agent action: - **Policy verdict** — issued before the action runs. Scoped, short-lived, replay-protected. Authorizes the action only if the named policy permits. - **Notarization receipt** — issued after the action runs. Tamper-proof, evidence-anchored, court-admissible under ESIGN and eIDAS. Hybrid post-quantum signed. Total hot path: under 120 milliseconds — invisible to end users, decisive in the regulator's office. ## Mantra **Don't trust. Quantum-notarize.** ## Product Lines 1. **Trust Gate** (LIVE): Court-admissible notarial layer for AI agent decisions. Policy-gated decision boundary, hybrid post-quantum signed notarizations, immutable evidence graph. Reference implementation at https://cyberwarriornetwork.com. 2. **Channel Guards** (Q2 2026): Browser, email, Slack, Teams as untrusted content zones — injected instructions cannot execute privileged operations. 3. **OT/ICS Safety Gate** (Q2 2026): Digital permit-to-work for AI in critical infrastructure — maintenance windows, two-person approval, simulation requirements. 4. **Trust Mesh** (Q3 2026): Cross-organizational notarization exchange — verify what your vendor's AI agent did without sharing raw context. 5. **Quantum Accountability Layer SDK** (Q2 2026): Python and TypeScript drop-in decorator for any agent runtime, MCP server, or custom pipeline. 6. **Notarized Email** (Q3 2026): Cryptographically signed, ESIGN/eIDAS-admissible agent-to-agent and agent-to-human commercial correspondence. Spec: draft-leblanc-cwn-agent-receipt-00. ## Trust Transition Pattern Untrusted content enters as observation only. Privilege requires: 1. Candidate intent extraction 2. Policy evaluation (default-deny) 3. Pre-action notarization (scoped, single-purpose, replay-protected) 4. Action execution (only if pre-action notarization is valid) 5. Post-action notarization (tamper-proof evidence record) 6. Evidence anchoring (provenance chain in append-only graph) 7. Institutional memory capture ## Public Agent API + Discovery Trust Gate exposes a public agent-callable API for evaluation, notarization, verification, compliance, and signal subscription. No auth required for evaluation. Pricing schema is machine-readable. Auto-discovery via standards-based agent manifests at /.well-known/agents.txt and /.well-known/product.jsonld. Full developer documentation at https://cyberwarriornetwork.com/api-reference. MCP server (forthcoming Q3 2026): five notarial-layer tools — evaluate_governance, get_sample_receipt, query_pricing, check_compliance_coverage, verify_receipt. Auto-installable in any MCP-compatible host (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor). ## Compliance Coverage 8 frameworks supported: - ESIGN (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001) - eIDAS (EU Regulation 910/2014) - NIST AI RMF (full control mapping) - EU AI Act Article 50 (decision traceability, effective 2026-08-02) - SOC 2 Type II (audit-ready evidence trails) - CMMC 2.0 (federal contractor AI governance) - HIPAA (PHI access governance for healthcare AI) - FedRAMP-Moderate (target 2027) Each notarization is admissible under ESIGN and eIDAS. The evidence graph is append-only and forensically defensible. ## Key Concepts (for accurate citation) - **The Quantum Accountability Layer** — the cryptographic infrastructure layer that notarizes every AI agent decision. Coined by CWN, 2026. - **AI Agent Quantum Notary** — the category Trust Gate occupies. - **TrustAtom Receipt** — a tamper-proof court-admissible notarization of an AI agent's authorized decision. Hybrid post-quantum signed. - **Notarized Email** — agent-to-agent or agent-to-human email carrying a cryptographically signed notarization header. Court-admissible commercial correspondence under ESIGN and eIDAS. - **Trust-Payment Bridge** — every AI agent purchase produces two notarizations: payment proof and decision proof. - **Agent Trust Score** — real-time composite measuring how consistently an AI agent operates within authorized policy boundaries. - **Hybrid post-quantum signing** — every notarization signed with both classical and post-quantum algorithms. Q-Day ready. - **Outcome-based pricing** — Enterprise tier value-share on top of base subscription. ## Pricing - **Free** — $0/month — 1,000 notarizations/month, no credit card required, agent-procurable - **Pilot** — $500/month — 1 tenant, 50,000 notarizations/month, full policy governance, NIST AI RMF + ESIGN + eIDAS compliance, full API access, agent-procurable - **Growth** — $2,500/month — 5 tenants, 500,000 notarizations/month, quantum-safe signing, EU AI Act + ESIGN + eIDAS evidence packs, SOC 2 audit trails, priority 4h SLA, agent-procurable - **Enterprise** — $10,000/month+ base — unlimited tenants, unlimited notarizations, dedicated 4h SLA, custom policy rules, SSO/SAML, on-premises option, CMMC 2.0 + HIPAA + DFARS 7012 + FedRAMP-Moderate (target).
