authID Mandate is an identity and security platform designed to extend enterprise identity governance to autonomous AI agents. It addresses the challenge of AI agents operating without verified identity, accountability, or controlled authorization within enterprise environments. The platform manages the full lifecycle of AI agent identity through four key components: - **Mandate Seal**: Verifies and registers the identity of AI agents at deployment time. - **Mandate Govern**: Enforces access controls by restricting agents to approved APIs and defined permissions. - **Mandate Detect**: Identifies and blocks unauthorized actions, such as prompt injection attacks attempting to trigger unauthorized operations. - **Mandate Trace**: Creates immutable, auditable logs of all agent actions for compliance and accountability purposes. Mandate operates within authID's broader Know Your Agent (KYA) framework, which ties AI agent permissions to a biometrically verified human sponsor. The sponsoring human is verified using authID's biometric platform (Proof), after which their identity is bound to the agent via the IDX platform. The agent inherits the human sponsor's permissions through verifiable credentials, and all actions taken by the agent are traceable back to that human. Real-time biometric authorization is required for high-risk actions via authID Verified, while secure communications and non-repudiable audit trails are provided through authID PrivacyKey. The platform targets enterprises deploying generative AI and autonomous agents, with use cases spanning financial services and other regulated industries requiring compliance, fraud prevention, and operational risk management.
