Keep a verified human accountable for high-risk actions

With Faction, cryptographic device identity governs access by default — there are no credentials to spoof, and no phishing possible. But some actions warrant a verified human in the loop — confirming that a responsible person authorized the access or action, and is accountable for it.

Through our partnership with iVALT, Faction integrates a Digital Trust platform that turns identity into provable human authority. Through Human-Bound Identity™ — biometrics bound to device PKI as the cryptographic proof of the responsible human, with contextual attributes such as GPS and time layered on to further reduce the attack surface — iVALT delivers a step-up with provable human authority at the moments that carry real risk — confirming a responsible person approved a privileged or irreversible action and remains accountable for it.

Uniquely, iVALT authentication is accessible only through Faction — not from the public internet — so there is no internet-facing identity service to attack. It's especially important for AI agents: each carries cryptographically verifiable identity derived from a human sponsor, so its actions are bounded and auditable against the human who authorized them.
