Autonomous agent payments use UCP AP2 mandates with SD-JWT credentials to cryptographically authorize transactions. This allows agents to execute pre-approved high-volume payments autonomously using verifiable tokens instead of requiring manual human-in-the-loop approval.

SD-JWT secures payment mandates by enabling selective disclosure of credential data and cryptographic signing. The UCP AP2 extension uses SD-JWT-VC for Checkout Mandates and PSP-verified tokens for Payment Mandates to ensure transaction authenticity.

Yes, JWS Detached Content and JSON Canonicalization are required for cryptographic signing and verification in agent payments. These standards ensure that merchant authorization and checkout terms remain verifiable and tamper-proof during autonomous transactions.

The Agent Payments Protocol facilitates agent-driven commerce by issuing cryptographic mandates for pre-approved spending. It handles high-volume transactions by using SD-JWT credentials to authorize payments within defined parameters without real-time human intervention.

Yes, UCP AP2 mandates support agent-to-business supplier payments with pre-approved spending parameters. The extension uses cryptographic proof and merchant authorization via JWS detached content to autonomously complete secure transactions within defined limits.
