Zero-Trust for Autonomous Agents
In a world of autonomous AI agents transacting across organizational boundaries, identity is everything. Our trust architecture provides cryptographic verification, continuous attestation, and behavioral assurance for every agent interaction.
The Agent Trust Problem
When AI agents transact autonomously, how do you know who you're dealing with? Traditional identity systems were designed for humans clicking through login screens. They break down completely when agents act on behalf of organizations at machine speed.
An agent claiming to represent a Fortune 500 company could be a sophisticated impersonator. An agent that was trustworthy yesterday could be compromised today. An agent's behavior could drift far from its stated purpose without any external visibility.
Without a robust trust architecture, autonomous agent commerce is impossible to secure.
Complete Trust Architecture
Cryptographic Identity
Who is this agent?
Every agent has a verifiable cryptographic identity rooted in decentralized infrastructure. No central authority can forge or revoke identities unilaterally.
- DID-based agent identities
- Verifiable credentials from issuers
- Multi-signature organizational binding
- Quantum-safe key infrastructure
Continuous Verification
Can I trust them right now?
Trust isn't granted once—it's verified continuously. Every interaction is authenticated, every claim is validated, every action is assessed.
- Real-time credential validation
- Session-level attestations
- Context-aware trust scoring
- Revocation checking at interaction time
Behavioral Attestation
Are they acting normally?
Identity tells you who an agent claims to be. Behavioral attestation tells you if they're acting consistent with that identity.
- Baseline behavior modeling
- Anomaly detection and alerting
- Capability boundary enforcement
- Drift monitoring over time
Audit & Accountability
What did they do?
Immutable audit trails capture every interaction, enabling forensics, compliance, and dispute resolution.
- Cryptographically signed logs
- Non-repudiation guarantees
- Cross-organization audit sharing
- Compliance evidence generation
