STEP 1
Resolve Identity
​​
​
MyAKH resolves trusted authentication, proofing, or external identity signals into a canonical subject DID and wallet context.
​
​​​​
​
STEP 4
Evaluate Likeness and Policy​
​
The system calculates similarity where applicable and evaluates operation, resource, consent, and governance rules.
STEP 2
Load Consent & Governance State
​
The Gatekeeper loads active consent, assurance metadata, wallet status, policy, resource permissions, and applicable license conditions.​​
​​
​
STEP 5
Allow, Deny, or Flag​
​
The Gatekeeper returns a structured decision and reason code. Only an ALLOW decision should permit the downstream platform to execute.
STEP 3
Validate Pipeline Compatibility​
​
​​The incoming likeness or content reference must be compatible with the stored embedding and pipeline version. Incompatible versions fail closed before similarity is calculated.
STEP 6
Generate Proof and Replay Record
​
The system produces a signed Decision Proof Object that can be retrieved, verified, and replayed for audit.​​
​
Example: Governed Avatar Synthesis
1. A verified rights holder is associated with a canonical identity and wallet.
​
2. Consent and digital-likeness permissions are recorded.
​
3. A platform submits a request to generate or use the avatar.
​
4. The request identifies the operation, resource, modality, and execution context.
​
5. MyAKH checks identity, consent, license conditions, version compatibility, likeness evidence, and policy.
​
6. The downstream synthesis system proceeds only if the Gatekeeper returns ALLOW.
​
7. A signed DPO provides evidence of the authorization decision.
Why This Matters
​Detection asks whether content appears suspicious after it exists.
MyAKH asks whether the requested use was authorized before the AI system acts.
​
​This changes governance from a post-processing review into an enforceable runtime control.
