SharkAuth is an open-source identity provider specifically designed for AI agent delegation, implementing OAuth 2.1 Token Exchange (RFC 8693) and DPoP (RFC 9449) to cryptographically bind tokens to agent keys. It solves the novel problem of trust chains breaking when AI agents delegate to sub-agents, providing auditable hop-by-hop authorization in a single binary with zero external dependencies.
