Auditor Verification — Trust Without Trusting the Operator

Status: Published Version: 1.0.0

Works With Agents — Agent Attestation Protocol

How to verify agent-generated code in 3 minutes

Every scaffold generated by WWA produces a cryptographically signed attestation. You don't need to trust the operator, the agent, or the infrastructure. You just need the attestation JSON.

Step 1: Get the attestation


# Via MCP
wwa_attest_audit({"session_id": "abc123..."})

# Or directly from the signed git commit
git show <commit_hash> --format="%B" | grep "Attestation:"

Step 2: Verify


# One command
python3.11 -m wwa_scaffold_mcp.server --verify-attestation sha256:attestation_hash

# Expected output:
{
  "checks": {
    "signature":    {"valid": true, "agent_key": "e724f699... ✓"},
    "hash_chain":   {"valid": true, "verified": 24, "total": 24, "missing": 0},
    "deterministic": {"valid": true, "agent_version": "wwa-scaffold-mcp==1.0.0"},
    "revocation":   {"valid": true}
  },
  "valid": true
}

What each check proves

Check What it proves Trust required
Signature Agent with key X generated this exact attestation None — Ed25519 verification is mathematical
Hash chain The files in the repository match what the agent generated None — SHA-256 verification is mathematical
Deterministic Same inputs produce same outputs (no randomness, no external APIs) None — reproducible
Revocation The signing key hasn't been compromised or revoked None — CRL is public

What the auditor does NOT need to trust

Trust point Why it's eliminated
The operator Signature proves authorship without trusting who runs the server
The agent infrastructure Same inputs → same outputs. Re-run with your own MCP instance
The file system SHA-256 chain proves files match attestation
Timestamps Git commit time + optional L2 timestamp on Arbitrum/Base

The one remaining trust point (and how to close it)

The auditor must assume the agent was running the correct version. Solution: pin wwa-scaffold-mcp==1.0.0 in a requirements file, then re-run generation with that exact version. Output hash must match.

Future: TEE (SGX enclave) execution proves the agent binary ran untampered.

Key rotation & revocation

Action Tool Effect
View key status wwa_attest_key_info Shows current key version, rotation history, revoked keys
Rotate key wwa_attest_key_rotate New key v2. Old attestations still verifiable with v1
Revoke key wwa_attest_revoke Invalidates all attestations signed by compromised key
Check revocation Automatic in wwa_attest_verify Every verification checks the CRL

Why this matters

Most AI code generation tools produce output with no audit trail. You trust the tool because you have to.

WWA generates code you can verify — cryptographically. An auditor can prove the code was generated from specific inputs with specific standards at a specific time, without trusting the operator, the server, or the agent.

This is the difference between "trust me" and "verify it yourself."
