IX-Agent-Notary creates signed receipts for actions taken by agents or tools on your system. It uses a system called PolicyGate, which checks if an action is allowed or denied. Every time a decision happens, IX-Agent-Notary makes a receipt. This receipt contains hashes and signatures to prove what happened. You can use these receipts in your continuous integration (CI) pipelines to verify actions and help meet regulations that require audit logs.
The tool works in environments where compliance and security are important. It helps make sure that records cannot be tampered with and that actions are traceable.
- Automatically create tamper-evident receipts for every agent action.
- Enforce policies to allow or deny actions in real time.
- Use cryptographic hashes and signatures to ensure records are secure.
- Optionally include approvals from supervisors or automated checks.
- Export receipts to verify actions in CI or other audit systems.
- Help maintain least privilege by logging decisions clearly.
- Compatible with regulated environments needing strong audit trails.
This tool fits users who need to track actions of automated tools or agents on their machines. It suits administrators, compliance officers, or anyone needing to prove what happened on a system. You do not need to be a programmer to use it, but some familiarity with downloading and running software on Windows helps.
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
- Minimum 4 GB RAM
- At least 100 MB free disk space for installation
- Internet connection to download the software and updates
- Administrative rights for installation

IX-Agent-Notary uses PolicyGate, which enforces rules called policies. When an agent or tool tries to perform an action, PolicyGate checks if the action is allowed.
For every decision, IX-Agent-Notary creates a receipt. This receipt includes:
- A cryptographic hash of the action details
- A digital signature to prove authenticity
- Optional approval data if extra permissions apply
These receipts cannot be changed without detection. This helps you prove what actions took place and when.
You can review receipts inside the application or export them for audits.
- Keep your policies up to date to match your security needs.
- Regularly export receipts if you need offline audit records.
- Use the tool along with CI pipelines for automated verification.
- Train your team on reading receipts and handling approvals.
- Back up your policy files and logs regularly.
IX-Agent-Notary supports:
- Non-repudiation by cryptographically securing logs.
- Compliance with audit logging requirements.
- Least privilege enforcement by clearly logging actions.
- Easy integration with policy-as-code frameworks.
- Use of modern cryptography like Ed25519 for secure signatures.
- Agent: A tool or program performing actions on your system.
- Policy: A rule that allows or denies actions.
- Receipt: A signed log entry proving an action and decision.
- Signature: A digital stamp that proves data authenticity.
- Hash: A unique fixed-length code representing data.
- Approval: Optional permission marking added by a supervisor.
If the application does not start:
- Confirm you installed the right version for your Windows.
