The Challenge
As AI agents move beyond assistants and begin acting on behalf of people, applications, and organizations, traditional identity and access models fall short. A new generation of critical questions demands answers:
Agent Identity
Who is this agent? How is its identity established and verified in a chain of trust?
Authorization
Who authorized it to act? What specific authority has been delegated to it?
Governance
What is it permitted to do—and how can that authority be verified, governed, revoked, and audited in real time?
Human Authority
How do you include a real person of authority in the chain of execution when necessary?
Our Solution
LayeredTrust establishes a cryptographically verifiable chain of trust for autonomous AI agents. We enable enterprises to:
Verify Identity
Establish and cryptographically verify who an agent is, who authorized its actions, and what authority was delegated.
Enforce Policies
Deploy real-time policy enforcement across autonomous systems, APIs, and enterprise workflows with instant revocation.
Maintain Audit Trails
Keep complete, tamper-proof records of every delegation, action, and policy decision for compliance and accountability.
Our platform lets you delegate authority to agents with confidence, govern their actions across your entire technology stack, and maintain accountability at every step of the way.
Our Vision
Enable enterprises to embrace the power of autonomous AI without sacrificing trust, security, or control. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the ability to establish verifiable trust becomes foundational to responsible AI adoption in the enterprise.
