Abstract:

   This document specifies the Provenance-Attributed Inference Token
   (PAIT) protocol, a wire-level protocol for token-level provenance
   attribution and identity-conditioned inference in Large Language
   Model (LLM) systems and other generative AI systems.  PAIT defines:
   (1) an Agent Identity Token format that binds a globally unique
   agent identifier to a hierarchical authorization level by means of
   an asymmetric digital signature; (2) a Provenance Manifest Record
   format that associates each output token of an inference session
   with verifiable attribution data referencing training-corpus
   segments; (3) a Trust Telemetry Signal format for aggregated session
   metrics emission to external monitoring endpoints; and (4) a wire
   protocol state machine governing the interaction between a
   requesting agent and a generative AI endpoint.  PAIT is intended to
   address the transparency obligations imposed by emerging regulatory
   frameworks for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems, in
   particular those concerning the provenance of AI-generated content
   at sub-document granularity.
