Zeq Auth — Verify Token

Equation-based identity, reputation, federation.

• Protocol ID — zeq-auth-verify
• Category — Identity
• Endpoint — POST /api/auth/verify
• Auth — none
• Rate limit — 60/min
• Version — 2.0
• Precision — ≤0.1% (KO42-enforced)

What it does

Verify a Zeq Auth token. Returns validity, ZID, and display name if valid.

Signature

Request

POST /api/auth/verify

Param	Type	Required	Default	Description
token	string	✓	—	Zeq Auth token (base64url JSON).

Response

{ valid, zid, displayName, expiresAt }

Runnable example

curl -sS -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "token": "<value>"
}' \
  "https://api.zeq.dev/api/auth/verify"

Integrate

1. Equation-identity login — derive auth state from a protocol call instead of a static token.
2. Reputation overlay — couple identity scores into the Master Equation via ZRO seeds.
3. Federation bridge — share identity proofs across trust domains using pulse alignment.

Seeds

• Near — wrap /api/auth/verify in a language SDK so builders can call it in three lines.
• Medium — publish a reference integration demonstrating Zeq Auth — Verify Token alongside a real workload, with pulse-aligned metrics.
• Far — propose Zeq Auth — Verify Token as an open reference standard so other runtimes can implement it verbatim against the Zeq paper.
