Final coverage assessment — None of the gathered sources discuss EIP-712 signatures, typed-data formats, or the security properties described in the subclaims. The only related mention is S4 noting that a client 'signs a payment authorization,' but it provides no details about EIP-712, domain separation, replay protection, or consent verification.

The provided sources do not contain information about the role of EIP-712 signatures in x402 payment authorization. None of the sources discuss EIP-712, structured typed-data formats for signing, signature binding to payment details, proof of payer consent, or domain separation in the context of x402.
Evidence ledger — quotes verified before rewards
EIP-712 signatures in x402 provide a structured, typed-data format for payment authorization, ensuring the signed request is human-readable and unambiguous.
0%No reward-qualifying evidence
They bind the signature to the specific payment details (recipient, amount, nonce, expiration) to prevent tampering and replay attacks.
0%No reward-qualifying evidence
The signature acts as verifiable proof of payer consent, allowing the payee to authenticate the authorization without exposing the payer's private key.
0%No reward-qualifying evidence
EIP-712's domain separation and standardized hashing ensure that x402 payment authorizations are scoped to the correct protocol and context.
0%No reward-qualifying evidence
