Multi-Party Quorum Authorization for High-Risk Agent Actions (EP-QUORUM)
                       draft-schrock-ep-quorum-00

Abstract

   This document defines EP-QUORUM, a multi-party authorization profile
   for the EMILIA Protocol (EP) authorization receipt (draft-schrock-ep-
   authorization-receipts).  Where the base receipt binds a single
   accountable human to one exact high-risk action, EP-QUORUM binds a
   set of distinct accountable humans -- the "two-person rule,"
   generalized to M-of-N and to ordered approval trails -- to one exact
   action, such that no action is authorized until the full quorum
   holds.  The profile is purely additive: each quorum member is an
   unmodified EP signoff over the same action hash, and a single-
   approver policy is the degenerate one-member case.  EP-QUORUM
   specifies a fail-closed quorum predicate (all member signatures
   valid, every member bound to the exact action, approvers pairwise
   distinct, every approver admitted by role, the threshold met, the
   declared order respected, and all signatures within a bounded time
   window), an incremental server-side admission rule that rejects a
   non-conforming signer before it enters the trail, and a set of
   adversarial conformance vectors.  The predicate is offline-verifiable
   under the base draft's verification model and is maintained as cross-
   language conformance vectors that three independent implementations
   (JavaScript, Python, Go) are required to agree on.

1.  Introduction

   The base EP authorization receipt closes the gap between "is this
   actor authorized in general?" and "should this exact action happen,
   and which accountable human said yes?" by binding one named
   approver's device-held signature to one exact action (see
   [EP-RECEIPTS], Section 1).  For the highest-consequence actions, one
   approver is not the right control.  The discipline that governs
   nuclear release, large-value treasury movement, and production-
   credential change is the _two-person rule_: no single human --
   however well-authenticated, however senior -- can unilaterally cause

Internet-Draft            EP Multi-Party Quorum                June 2026

   the action.  Two or more distinct, accountable humans must each
   independently authorize, and the action proceeds only when all of
   them have.

   As autonomous agents acquire credentials sufficient for irreversible
   operations, the two-person rule is exactly the control that lets an
   organization grant an agent real authority without creating a single
   point of failure: a compromised, misaligned, or prompt-injected agent
   cannot act alone, and neither can a single compromised or coerced
   approver.  EP-QUORUM specifies how to express that control as a
   cryptographic predicate over EP signoffs and how to enforce it both
   at the moment each approver signs and at the moment the action would
   execute.

   The base draft already contemplates multi-approver policies
   ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 7): each approver signs an individual
   Authorization Context sharing the same action hash, and commitment
   occurs only when k valid, distinct signoffs exist before expiry.
   This document makes that sketch normative and testable.  It adds:
   ordered approval trails (Section 4); an explicit role roster and
   admission semantics (Section 3); a bounded approval window with a
   monotonic-time constraint for ordered mode (Section 4); an
   incremental server-side admission rule that keeps a non-conforming
   signer out of the trail in the first place (Section 6); the
   consolidated fail-closed quorum predicate (Section 5); and an
   adversarial conformance suite (Section 8).

1.1.  Design Goals

   EP-QUORUM inherits design goals G1-G7 of the base draft and adds:

   *  *Q1 -- Additivity.* A quorum is a set of unmodified EP signoffs
      over the same action hash.  No new signature type, no new signing
      ceremony, and no change to the receipt verifier are introduced.  A
      single-approver policy is the one-member quorum.

   *  *Q2 -- Fail-closed.* Authorization is denied unless _every_
      element of the quorum predicate holds.  Absence of evidence, an
      unparseable member, a malformed policy, or any single failed check
      yields "not satisfied," never "satisfied."

   *  *Q3 -- Distinctness (separation of duties at the human level).* A
      quorum of size k requires k pairwise-distinct human approvers,
      each distinct from the initiator.  One human MUST NOT fill two
      slots.

Internet-Draft            EP Multi-Party Quorum                June 2026

   *  *Q4 -- Incremental enforcement.* The protocol enforces conformance
      as each approver signs, not only at consume time, so that a wrong-
      action, wrong-role, duplicate, out-of-order, stale, or invalid
      signature never becomes part of the trail.

   *  *Q5 -- Offline-verifiable quorum.* The satisfied/not-satisfied
      judgment is computable from the receipt's members and the policy
      alone, under the same offline verification model as the base draft
      ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 6.3).

2.  Terminology

   In addition to the terminology of [EP-RECEIPTS]:

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHOULD",
   "MAY" are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119]
   [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals.

   Quorum.  The set of distinct approver signoffs required to authorize
      one action under a Quorum Policy.

   Quorum Policy.  A named, versioned rule set declaring the approval
      mode, the required count, the roster of eligible (role, approver)
      slots, the distinct-humans rule, and the approval window.  Carried
      in the policy that governs the action; see Section 3.

   Member.  One element of a candidate quorum: a (role, approver public
      key, signoff) triple, where the signoff is an unmodified EP
      signoff ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 5.3) over the Authorization
      Context the approver signed.

   Trail.  The ordered sequence of members admitted so far for one
      action -- the partial quorum under construction.

   Quorum Gate.  The fail-closed predicate (Section 5) that decides
      whether a trail is a satisfied quorum.  The Verifying Executor
      ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 9) MUST consult it before performing the
      action.

3.  The Quorum Policy

   A Quorum Policy is a JSON object:

                                  Table 1

   Rules:

   *  An approver slot identifies an eligible approver in the Approver
      Directory ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 5.2).  The role is the
      organizational role under which that approver is admitted to this
      quorum; it is the unit of role eligibility (Section 5, check 4).

   *  A member is admitted only if its (role, approver) pair is present
      in the roster.  A correct signature by a real, enrolled approver
      who is not on the roster for this action MUST be rejected
      (wrong_role).

   *  required MUST NOT exceed the number of distinct human approvers
      the roster can supply under distinct_humans.  A policy that cannot
      be satisfied is a misconfiguration; verifiers treat an
      unsatisfiable trail as not satisfied, as always.

Schrock                 Expires 22 December 2026                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft            EP Multi-Party Quorum                June 2026

   *  The Quorum Policy is part of the action's governing policy and is
      therefore committed by the policy_hash of every member's
      Authorization Context ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 4).  A signature
      collected under one Quorum Policy version MUST NOT satisfy a
      requirement evaluated under another.

4.  Approval Modes

   *Threshold mode ("threshold").* Any required distinct approvers drawn
   from the roster, in any order, satisfy the quorum.  This is the
   classic M-of-N rule.

   *Ordered mode ("ordered").* Approvals MUST occur in the roster's
   listed order: the i-th admitted member MUST match approvers[i-1] in
   both role and approver.  In addition, signature times MUST be
   strictly increasing -- each member's issued_at MUST be later than the
   previous admitted member's issued_at (non_increasing_time).  Ordered
   mode expresses escalation chains in which a later authority signs
   _after, and in knowledge of,_ an earlier one (e.g., Program Officer,
   then Authorizing Official, then Inspector General).

   In both modes, every admitted member's issued_at MUST fall within
   window_sec of the first admitted member's issued_at
   (window_exceeded).  The window bounds the lifetime of a partial
   quorum so that a long-dormant partial trail cannot be completed much
   later by an attacker who has since compromised a remaining approver.

5.  The Quorum Gate (fail-closed predicate)

   A trail is a *satisfied quorum* for an action with hash H under
   policy P if and only if ALL of the following hold.  A verifier MUST
   return "satisfied" only when every check passes, and MUST return "not
   satisfied" on the first failure, on a malformed policy or member, or
   on any unrecognized condition (Q2):

   1.  *Well-formed policy.* P has a recognized mode, an integer
       required >= 1, and a non-empty approvers roster.  Otherwise: not
       satisfied.

   2.  *All signatures valid.* For every member, the EP signoff verifies
       under [EP-RECEIPTS], Section 5.3 / 6.3 -- the WebAuthn [WEBAUTHN]
       assertion (Class A) verifies against the member's
       approver_public_key, with the assertion challenge equal to the
       member's context hash and user verification asserted.  One
       invalid signature (one_bad_signature) fails the whole quorum.

Internet-Draft            EP Multi-Party Quorum                June 2026

   3.  *Action binding.* Every member's Authorization Context carries
       action_hash == H (action_mismatch).  A member bound to any other
       action does not count.

   4.  *Role admission.* Every member's (role, approver) pair is present
       in the roster (wrong_role).

   5.  *Distinct humans.* When distinct_humans is true (the default),
       approvers are pairwise distinct and (per the base draft's
       SelfApprovalImpossible) distinct from the initiator
       (duplicate_human).

   6.  *Threshold.* At least required admitted members exist
       (under_threshold).

   7.  *Order (ordered mode only).* The i-th admitted member matches
       approvers[i-1]; signature times are strictly increasing
       (out_of_order, non_increasing_time).

   8.  *Window.* Every admitted member's issued_at is within window_sec
       of the first member's issued_at (window_exceeded).

   The predicate is the same whether computed by the orchestrating
   operator before consumption or by an independent Verifying Executor
   or auditor offline (Q5): it is a pure function of (P, H, members).
   Because each member is an unmodified EP signoff, check 2 is exactly
   the base draft's verifier invoked per member; EP-QUORUM adds the set-
   level checks 1, 3-8 on top.

6.  Incremental Admission (canAccept)

   To keep a non-conforming signer out of the trail rather than
   discovering it only at consume time (Q4), an orchestrator MUST
   evaluate an incremental admission rule before recording each new
   signoff.  Given the policy P, the action hash H, the already-admitted
   trail, and one incoming candidate member, the rule ADMITS the
   candidate only if all of the following hold, and otherwise REJECTS it
   with the named reason:

   1.  P is well-formed and its roster is non-empty (else no_policy /
       no_eligible_approvers).

   2.  The candidate's context carries action_hash == H (else
       action_mismatch).

   3.  The candidate's (role, approver) is on the roster (else
       ineligible_role).

Internet-Draft            EP Multi-Party Quorum                June 2026

   4.  When distinct_humans is true, no already-admitted member shares
       the candidate's approver (else duplicate_human).

   5.  In ordered mode, the candidate matches the next unfilled roster
       slot (approvers[len(trail)]) in both role and approver (else
       out_of_order).

   6.  If the trail is non-empty, the candidate's issued_at is within
       window_sec of the first member's issued_at (else
       window_exceeded); and in ordered mode it is strictly greater than
       the last admitted member's issued_at (else non_increasing_time).

   7.  The candidate's signature verifies (else invalid_signature).

   A rejected candidate MUST NOT be written into the trail.  Incremental
   admission is an enforcement convenience and an early-rejection UX; it
   is not a substitute for the Quorum Gate.  A conforming Verifying
   Executor MUST re-evaluate the full Quorum Gate (Section 5) over the
   assembled trail before performing the action, regardless of
   incremental admission, because the executor does not trust the
   orchestrator to have applied admission honestly (this mirrors the
   base draft's execution-side enforcement, [EP-RECEIPTS], Section 9).

7.  Member Representation in the Receipt

   A quorum receipt is an ordinary EP Trust Receipt ([EP-RECEIPTS],
   Section 6.2) whose contexts and signoffs arrays carry one entry per
   admitted member, plus the Quorum Policy (by reference via
   policy_hash, and optionally inline for convenience).  For the offline
   quorum computation, each member is the triple:

   {
     "role": "program_officer",

         "client_data_json": "...",
         "signature": "..."
       }
     }
   }

   The context and webauthn members are exactly as defined by the base
   draft; EP-QUORUM does not alter their canonicalization, hashing, or
   signature verification.  The role and approver_public_key are the
   join keys against the Quorum Policy roster and the Approver
   Directory.

8.  Conformance

   An implementation conforms to EP-QUORUM if, for the published
   adversarial conformance vectors, it returns the expected satisfied/
   not-satisfied verdict for every vector and rejects every non-
   conforming candidate at incremental admission with the expected
   reason.  The reference suite (EP-QUORUM-v1) comprises the following
   vectors, each carrying real Class-A WebAuthn assertions:

                                  Table 2

   The reference suite is maintained such that three independent
   implementations (JavaScript, Python, Go) MUST agree on every vector;
   divergence is a conformance defect in at least one implementation.
   The "accept" vectors guard against a verifier that is too strict
   (denying valid quorums); the "reject" vectors guard against a
   verifier that is too lenient (the security-critical direction).

9.  Security Considerations

   EP-QUORUM inherits all Security Considerations of [EP-RECEIPTS] and
   adds the following.  Several restate, honestly, what a quorum does
   _not_ buy.

Internet-Draft            EP Multi-Party Quorum                June 2026

9.1.  What multi-party authorization does and does not prevent

   A satisfied quorum proves that k pairwise-distinct enrolled approvers
   each produced a valid, action-bound, in-window, in-order (where
   required) signature with their own device-held keys, and that the
   orchestrator could not have forged any of them ([EP-RECEIPTS],
   Section 11.1).  It raises the cost of unilateral action: a single
   compromised agent, a single stolen key, a single coerced or malicious
   approver is insufficient.  It does _not_ defeat collusion among the
   required number of distinct humans, nor one human who controls
   multiple enrolled identities (an enrollment control -- base draft
   Section 5.2), nor simultaneous coercion of a full quorum.  As in the
   base draft, EP-QUORUM makes such events _attributable_ -- named,
   signed, and evidenced for every member -- which is a deterrent and an
   audit primitive, not an impossibility proof.  Implementations MUST
   NOT claim a quorum is collusion-proof.

9.2.  Fail-closed is the only safe default

   The dangerous error in a multi-party gate is to treat ambiguity as
   approval.  EP-QUORUM is specified so that a malformed policy, a
   missing or unparseable member, a partial trail, or any single failed
   check yields "not satisfied."  A verifier MUST NOT default to
   satisfied on any unrecognized condition.  The "reject" conformance
   vectors exist to catch a regression in this direction.

9.3.  Partial trails confer no authority

   A trail short of the threshold, or one in which incremental admission
   has accepted some but not all required slots, authorizes nothing.  A
   Verifying Executor presented with a partial trail MUST refuse,
   exactly as it refuses a missing single signoff.  This is the multi-
   party form of the base draft's NoBypassWrite invariant.

9.4.  Window and replay

   The approval window (window_sec) bounds how long a partial quorum
   remains completable, limiting the value to an attacker of
   compromising a _remaining_ approver after some approvals already
   exist.  Each member's signoff retains the base draft's one-time-
   consumption nonce (G3); the window is an additional, quorum-level
   constraint, not a substitute for per-signoff replay protection.  The
   monotonic-time rule in ordered mode additionally prevents back-dating
   a later authority's signature to appear to precede an earlier one.

9.5.  Divide-and-misinform across members

   Because each approver signs their own Authorization Context, a
   malicious orchestrator can attempt to show different approvers
   different renderings or different initiator attestations
   ([EP-RECEIPTS], Section 11.9) while each individual signature remains
   valid.  EP-QUORUM does not change the base draft's cross-context
   consistency requirement; verifiers SHOULD surface per-member context
   differences, and high-value ordered policies SHOULD render the prior
   approvers' decisions to each subsequent approver so that the trail is
   a chain of informed approvals rather than parallel ones.  The
   presentation-attack mitigations of base draft Section 11.3 apply per
   member.

9.6.  Approver fatigue, at quorum scale

   Requiring more humans does not help if each rubber-stamps; it can
   hurt, by diffusing responsibility across a group in which no member
   feels decisive (base draft Section 11.8).  Quorum policies MUST be
   scoped to genuinely high-consequence, low-frequency actions, and
   deployments SHOULD monitor per-role time-to-sign and deny rates
   rather than assume that more signers means more scrutiny.
