AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies do not provide a straightforward method for authenticating AI agents that perform contractual acts or actions on behalf of individuals, and existing PKI-based challenge-response authentication methods are insufficient for this purpose.

Method used

An information processing device and system that generate and manage private and public keys, along with agent identification information for AI agents, enabling challenge-response authentication through a user's terminal and service provider's device to verify the AI agent's identity.

Benefits of technology

Enables the authentication of AI agents performing contractual acts on behalf of individuals, ensuring the legitimacy and authority of the AI agent in negotiations and transactions.

Abstract

The present invention provides an information processing device that enables authentication of an AI agent that performs contractual acts and other actions on behalf of the user. The information processing device comprises a generation means, an acquisition means, a provision means, and a response means. The generation means generates a private key, a public key, and agent identification information for the AI ​​agent that negotiates with the service provider in response to a request from the user, publishes the public key, and transmits the agent identification information to the user's terminal. The acquisition means acquires delegate information from the user's terminal, which includes user identification information and agent identification information and is signed by the user. The provision means provides user identification information, delegate information, and agent identification information to the service provider's device when the AI ​​agent performs an agency act with the service provider's device. The response means, upon receiving a challenge for challenge-response authentication from the service provider's device, responds with a response generated using the private key.
