Trust identity

Overview

Identity evidence should establish the acting system and the people responsible for it, then remain linked to every event.

• Use a stable unique agent and organization identifier.
• Record owner, operator, technical owner, version, and runtime environment.
• Verify issuer, signature, audience, scope, expiry, and revocation at use time.
• Reassess when an identity, owner, or delegated principal changes.

Production checklist

• Keep credentials in a server-side secret store.
• Set explicit cost, latency, privacy, provider, and regional constraints.
• Capture route and evaluation evidence for incident review.
• Test timeouts, cancellation, fallback, and denied-policy paths before rollout.
