Question 1

What is the CAM Protocol?

Accepted Answer

The Collaborative Access Management (CAM) Protocol governs sensitive data access and actions requested by AI agents or people. At least M of N named human approvers must approve, any denial permanently vetoes the request, and the configured veto window must pass before CAM sends one signed call to the customer's system. That system releases data or executes the action. CAM does not execute actions or store governed data, and records each decision in a tamper-evident, SHA-256 hash-chained audit log.

Question 2

How is CAM Protocol different from CyberArk, SailPoint, or Okta?

Accepted Answer

Existing PAM, IAM, and secrets management tools govern credentials and identities. CAM governs requests for sensitive data access and actions that require at least M of N named human approvers, with a permanent veto on any denial and a configured veto window before CAM sends one signed call to the customer's system.

Question 3

How does CAM Protocol govern sensitive data access and actions requested by AI agents?

Accepted Answer

An AI agent can create and monitor a request for sensitive data access or an action through CAM. At least M of N named human approvers must approve, no approver may deny, and the configured veto window must pass before CAM sends one signed call to the customer's system. That system releases data or executes the action. CAM does not execute actions or store governed data, and records each decision in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log.

Question 4

What is the M-of-N approval threshold?

Accepted Answer

A threshold sets the minimum number M of named human approvers, out of N designated approvers, who must approve a sensitive data access or action request. Any denial permanently vetoes the request, regardless of the approval count.

Question 5

What is a denial veto?

Accepted Answer

One named human approver's denial permanently vetoes the request, regardless of the approval count. No signed call is sent to the customer's system for a vetoed request.

Question 6

How may CAM's design relate to HIPAA requirements?

Accepted Answer

CAM's named human approval workflow, signed call to the customer's system, policy of not storing governed data, and tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log are design features customers may assess against their own HIPAA-related requirements. SafeLoc does not claim that CAM is HIPAA-certified or compliant.
