AAuth Night: Moving Beyond OAuth Panel

Dick Hardt · Founder of AAuth, with Karl McGuinness, Ian Livingstone & Herman Errico

--:--

We bring you the panel from AAuth Night: Moving Beyond OAuth, the AI Engineer World's Fair side event we hosted on July 1st 2026 at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. OAuth, JWTs, and API keys were built for humans and servers, not agents, and this conversation digs into what breaks when an agent needs to call resources on its own. Dick Hardt, the creator of OAuth and founder of AAuth, is joined by Karl McGuinness (ex-Okta), Ian Livingstone (Keycard), and Herman Errico (Vanta, AARM) to work through the challenges with agent auth today, the best practices that already exist, and the new protocols like AAuth being built to move past OAuth. Allie Howe moderates the Q&A.
