Faction Networks and iVALT Integrate Human Identity Verification into Zero Trust Architecture

Faction Networks and iVALT announced in a press release a partnership that integrates iVALT’s Digital Trust platform into Faction’s Generation 3 Zero Trust architecture. The integration combines Faction’s owner-controlled network with iVALT’s passwordless, biometric verification to ensure that every network action is backed by a verified human or an AI agent operating under human authority.

The collaboration introduces continuous identity verification and cryptographically verifiable accountability for both human users and AI agents. iVALT’s Intelligent PKI extends human-linked identity to machines, enabling each agent within a Faction network to carry a verifiable identity derived from an authorized human sponsor. This creates an auditable record for every action and enforces governance directly within the network layer.

Unlike typical identity systems that rely on cloud authentication brokers, the integration runs iVALT’s verification within the Faction network itself. This design prevents authentication traffic from crossing the public internet, reducing exposure to interception or spoofing and removing dependence on external cloud availability.

The companies have completed initial integration and are in joint development, with commercial availability of the combined solution expected in the third quarter of 2026.
