Agentic Identity FAQs

Question 1

What is Agentic Identity?

Accepted Answer

Agentic Identity establishes cryptographic identities for AI agents using Ed25519 key pairs. This enables agents to sign their actions, create tamper-evident audit trails, and manage trust through scoped delegations, ensuring verifiable accountability.

Question 2

How does Agentic Identity ensure agent accountability?

Accepted Answer

Each AI agent gets a permanent cryptographic identity. Every action generates a non-repudiable, signed receipt. This provides irrefutable proof of which agent performed an action, solving the problem of unverified activity in AI systems.

Question 3

Can I control what an AI agent is allowed to do?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through 'Trust Grants'. These grants define scoped permissions using capability URIs (e.g., 'read:calendar', 'execute:deploy:*'), time bounds, use limits, and delegation depth, allowing precise control and easy revocation without affecting other agents.

Question 4

Is Agentic Identity portable and secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your agent's identity is stored in a single, portable '.aid' file. The private key material is encrypted at rest using strong algorithms like ChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, ensuring security without vendor lock-in or external dependencies.

Question 5

What problems does Agentic Identity solve for multi-agent systems?

Accepted Answer

It addresses critical challenges like the lack of per-agent accountability, absence of tamper-evident audit trails, insecure API key sharing, and the inability to implement scoped, revocable permissions across complex AI environments.
