Use case

Agent authentication for AI agents

Give every AI agent a verifiable identity and authenticate every request — without long-lived API keys.

Agent authentication is how a system proves which AI agent is making a request, on whose behalf, and whether it is allowed to act. As autonomous agents start calling APIs, browsing sites, and acting for users, shared secrets and static API keys stop being good enough — they can’t express identity, delegation, or scope, and they’re hard to rotate or revoke.

Why API keys aren’t enough for agents

  • No identity. A key says “someone with this secret” — not which agent, or which principal it acts for.
  • Long-lived risk. A leaked key stays valid until someone notices and rotates it.
  • No scope or delegation. Keys can’t express “this agent may read records for the next 15 minutes on behalf of this user.”
  • Hard to revoke. Revocation usually means rotating a key and updating every caller.

How MudraID authenticates agents

MudraID gives every agent a verifiable cryptographic identity and authenticates each request against it:

  • Verifiable identity. Each agent has a cryptographic identity rather than a shared secret.
  • Short-lived credentials. The SDK mints a short-lived token per call, so there is no long-lived secret to leak.
  • Scoped, revocable delegation. Principals delegate scoped, time-bound, revocable authority to an agent.
  • Per-request verification. Signature, identity, and scope are verified in real time at the point of use.
  • Instant revocation & audit. Authority can be revoked at the source, and activity is recorded in a tamper-evident, append-only audit trail.
