Stop my agent
This page demonstrates the MVP’s passkey-confirmed stop and restart workflow for demonstration agents installed by the C=US manager. A stop suspends authorization at the demonstration gateway and is reflected in its trust registry; it does not terminate the agent process. The controls below are for the demonstration, not production end-user enrollment. See the kill-switch explanation.
In the intended distributed system, users manage their agents through the systems where they created them. End users are not expected to register passkeys on the C=US server or interact with their agents here. Agent-management systems can register with C=US and choose which information to share with the Directory under their own access controls and disclosure policies.
1. Confirm who you are
Your passkey proves you are the person the directory names as accountable. You will see only the agents you answer for.

Each action asks for your passkey again, on purpose: one confirmation authorizes exactly one action, so nothing can reuse it. You can restart only what you stopped; a stop from another system (a kill signal) needs an administrator.
MVP participants: register a demonstration passkey
For this MVP demonstration, ask the C=US manager for an enrollment code. It is made for you, works once and expires within a day. After you register, an administrator reviews your passkey and adds it to the directory; until then it cannot stop anything.
What this does and does not do
- It withdraws authority. The agent's program keeps running on its own machine, but everything that asks C=US refuses it.
- It is recorded. Each stop and restart, with the passkey signature that confirmed it, is kept and signed into the gateway's evidence log.
- It works only here. A passkey is bound to cequs.com; a page anywhere else cannot use it.
- This is a demonstration. The accountable people are synthetic, and identity proofing is simulated.
