SPIFFE / mTLS per agent
Every agent gets a unique 5-minute certificate. Lateral movement using another agent's credential is cryptographically impossible.

Problem
One API key. Fifty agents. Zero attribution.
A Fortune 500 CISO ran 50 agents off a single shared API key. A research-agent compromise could pivot laterally and exfiltrate customer PII using the same credential every other agent held. Monthly spend ballooned to $180K with no per-agent attribution and no audit trail that tied cost to identity.
Solution
Identity per agent. Budget per agent. Evidence per action.
SPIFFE/mTLS identity per agent via the Cryptographic Agent Framework. Semantic RBAC on tool calls. Streaming firewall on outputs. Virtual corporate cards for per-agent budgets. Evidence ledger with cryptographic audit. One-line integration change on the client.
How it works
Graduated trust
Degraded → Restricted → Quarantined per anomaly score. The system tightens automatically while keeping productive agents productive.
Virtual corporate cards
Per-agent daily budget ceilings. One runaway agent can't drain the fleet ceiling; per-agent circuit breakers fire before fleet-level damage.
“One incident proved the system: a research-agent prompt injection was caught mid-stream by the streaming firewall, trust auto-degraded, and zero bytes of customer data were exposed.”
