Glossary

Authority Fabric Architecture terminology.

A public vocabulary for security leaders reviewing AFACode, Adaptive Ephemeral Authority and PAGIQC without exposing proprietary implementation mechanics.

Authority Fabric ArchitectureA security architecture for evaluating execution authority, runtime context and capability access without embedding durable operational routes in software artefacts.
AFACodeAn authority-native language and artefact model for expressing protected capability requirements and security constraints.
Adaptive Ephemeral AuthorityShort-lived, context-bound execution authority that is not reusable application credential material.
PAGIQCPost Artificial General Intelligence Quantum Cryptography: Alt Production Group’s proprietary posture for quantum-era and AI-accelerated security risk.
Keyless Application ExecutionProtected application execution where reusable secrets, bearer tokens and long-lived credentials are not delivered to application code.
Capability-Oriented ExecutionA model where software requests a governed capability rather than directly addressing a durable service location.
Commitment-Only ObservabilityAudit and verification evidence represented through cryptographic commitments instead of raw sensitive operational data.
Topology CollapseInvalidation of an execution route after governed use to reduce the value of observation, replay and artefact reconstruction.
Fail-Closed ExecutionA security model where missing authority, incomplete policy, replay signals or unsafe runtime state deny execution by default.
