What information appears in an authorization audit trail?

Last reviewed 5 Sept 2026 · Review due 5 Mar 2027

Short answer

A useful authorization audit trail records who or what approved, what was requested, when, under which policy, which credential class was used, and the decision outcome. For hardware-verified flows it may also reference verification evidence identifiers—without exposing raw private keys. Exact field schemas follow product audit specifications.
