| The `Signature` headers use an authentication method called [Web Bot Auth](/bots/reference/bot-verification/web-bot-auth/). Web Bot Auth leverages cryptographic signatures in HTTP messages to verify that a request comes from an automated bot. To verify a request originated from Cloudflare Browser Rendering, use the keys found on [this directory](https://web-bot-auth.cloudflare-browser-rendering-085.workers.dev/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory) to verify the `Signature` and `Signature-Input` found in the headers from the incoming request. A successful verification proves that the request originated from Cloudflare Browser Rendering and has not been tampered with in transit. | ||

| ### Allowlist Browser Rendering with Web Bot Auth | ||
| If you need Browser Rendering to access resources on **your own zone** that’s protected by Cloudflare's Bot Protection, create a [WAF skip rule](/waf/custom-rules/skip/) that matches the **Web Bot Auth** `Signature-agent` to the **domain only**: `web-bot-auth.cloudflare-browser-rendering-085.workers.dev`, and require the presence of `Signature` and `Signature-Input`. |

I think it's not clear enough. The value of the Signature-Agent header is "https://web-bot-auth.cloudflare-browser-rendering-085.workers.dev" with quotes included. So either we use this value here, or clarify that header must include web-bot-auth.cloudflare-browser-rendering-085.workers.dev
