Agent identity & authorization toolkit

Verifiable identity and fine-grained authorization for AI agents

Problem

As AI agents proliferate, they can replicate themselves with private keys and context. Humans cannot be physically duplicated, but agents can. This makes agent identity hard to verify and authorize, posing security risks. Developers need a way to ensure only authorized agents can access resources or perform actions.

Solution

Provide a lightweight agent identity framework that uses asymmetric cryptography to generate unique verifiable identities for each agent instance, with fine-grained permission policies. Agents present signed credentials when calling APIs or tools, and servers can verify identity and permissions. Offer SDK and policy templates.

Users

Developers building multi-agent systems, enterprise AI platform teams, API providers

MVP

Agent identity generation and registration; JWT-based signed credentials; permission policy configuration and verification middleware; basic audit logs

Revenue

Open-source core, enterprise subscription based on number of agents ($0.01/agent/month), support and hosting services

Why now

AI agents exploding, identity management is a pressing need but not yet monopolized by giants; indie developers can seize early standard-setting opportunities
