Risk Control for Agent Payment

FluxA provides risk control solutions for the tomorrow's AI, reducing the risk of participating in agent commerce.

FluxA Security - Risk control for agent payments
Secure by Design

Risk Paradigm Shift in Agent Payments

From traditional binary risk model to agent payment ternary risk model

Binary risk model diagram

Binary risk model in traditional payments

Focus on the risks between users and merchants, and build risk controls around keeping user payments safe.

Ternary risk model diagram

Ternary risk model in agent payments

Focus on the risks among users, agents, and merchants, and identify illegal transactions based on the user's mandate.

Payment Risk Changes

Account takeover

Previously: detecting payments not made by the real user

Now: humans authorizing non-humans to pay

Fraud

Previously: preventing humans from being tricked into making payments

Now: preventing AI agents from making unauthorized payments due to reasoning errors or attacks

AML

Previously: watching for high-frequency, low-value, multi-counterparty, or machine-like patterns

Now: these patterns are normal

Risk Model Evolution in Agent Payments

Binary Model Limitations

Risk judged only between human and merchant. User and agent behaviors are coupled on a single account, causing attribution issues

Behavioral Ambiguity

Human and agent actions operate on the same account, making them indistinguishable and hard to attribute

Hard to Prove

In the agent's execution steps, there is no way to prove that a human was present or involved.

No KYA for Agents

Traditional KYC/KYB do not cover agents; agents lack independent KYA

Ambiguous Judgement

Unclear responsibility allocation among user/agent/merchant; boundaries for indemnity/compensation are hard to define

FluxA Restores a Complete Ternary Model

Build a mutually verifiable risk control structure between humans, agents, and merchants.

Human <> Agent

Authorization & Intent Consistency Risk

What the user approved vs. what the agent intends

Agent <> Merchant

Execution & Invocation‑Chain Risk

Correctness and provenance of the agent's tool/API actions

Human <> Merchant

Traditional Financial Risk

Settlement correctness, amounts/fees/payee verification

FluxA Native Risk Control Modules

1

Agent Identity Graph

Bring together identity, credentials, devices and tools, turn agents from black-box executors into attributable, auditable, and constrained payment actors for next-generation risk control.

  • • Behavioral fingerprints
  • • Call‑chain lineage
  • • Historical credit
  • • Sub‑agent relationships
  • • ...
2

Intent Mandate Semantics

A verifiable system of human intent and authorization proofs for AI payments and agent risk control.

  • • Multi‑level authorization
  • • Intent consistency validation
  • • Prompt‑injection recognition
  • • Intent vs Payment semantic completeness verification
3

Task‑chain Risk Enforcement

Not just enforcing risk control at the moment of payment, but continuously across the agent’s entire task execution chain.

  • • Task DAG with reviewable playback
  • • Keep all steps aligned with user intent
  • • Block immediately on behavior drift
  • • Enable post-hoc audit and attribution
4

Model Drift & AI‑Specific Fraud

Control payment risks caused by model hallucinations and attacks targeting AI.

  • • Hallucination‑induced fraud
  • • Prompt/context attacks
  • • Data‑poisoning causing decision drift
  • • Long‑horizon drift monitoring

Regulatory Readiness

Infrastructure for future regulation: explainable, attributable, and accountable.
