Agent Identity & KYA
Know your agent: verify the agent, its operator, its permissions and its current trust status.

Agentic Action
ECRYPT gives AI agents the verified identity, permissions and controls required to act safely across the systems where business gets done.
Securing Every Agentic Action
AI agents are ready to act.
ECRYPT makes every action safe to trust.
The Technology Behind The Trust Layer
Four Systems. One Trusted Decision.
Purpose-built intelligence for every layer of agentic trust — each system answers one question, and their answers resolve into a single signed decision.
System 01 / 04 Auto-cycling
Agentic Fingerprinting · Continuous KYA
Verified once is not enough.
Continuously proves that the agent acting now is the agent that was originally trusted — runtime proof of what is executing, behavioral proof of how it acts.
In practice
A purchasing agent changes its model, tools or behavior after approval. Its live fingerprint drifts, triggering step-up verification before payment access continues.
Approved fingerprint agent_7f3a…c9e2
Live runtime agent_7f3a…c9e2
Identity id: 7f3a…c9e2 Match
Model gpt-4.1-mini Match
Tools tools: 12 Match
Behavior profile variance +37% Drift
Step-up verification Behavior drift detected. Re-verify before sensitive actions. Hold
ASTRA · Agentic Security
Attack the agent first.
ASTRA probes agents with the exploits attackers would actually use — prompt injection, tool-call attacks, token misuse — before they ever touch production systems.
In practice
Amazon Nova AI Challenge WinnerA vendor’s support agent is hit with a hidden instruction to call transfer_funds. The agent boundary catches the injection and the payment API never sees the call.

TIM · Trust Intelligence Model
Decisions, not responses.
An LLM reasons about information. TIM reasons about whether identity, authority, evidence and consequence justify real-world action — and returns an enforceable decision.
In practice
A purchasing bot requests $2,450 to ACME Supplies. TIM weighs the agent’s reputation, its operator’s scope and the remaining budget — and signs an authorization in milliseconds.

Forensic detection of AI-generated IDs, documents, text and code — the synthetic media that sails past conventional verification systems.

How It Works
Between The Agent And The Action.
ECRYPT sits between AI agents and the systems they act on — verifying identity, enforcing permissions and deciding in real time whether the action should go through.
People & Businesses
Set the intent, the budget and the rules.
Consumers Companies Platforms
AI Agents
Act on their behalf — buying, renewing, refunding, paying.
Purchasing Subscriptions Refunds Invoices
ECRYPT Trust Layer
Verifies the agent, checks the authorization, enforces the policy and decides — before anything moves.
Identity · KYA Intent Policy Risk Audit
Business Systems & Infrastructure
Approved actions execute on the systems the business already runs on.
Payment Rails Databases CRM & ERP APIs
Nothing moves unless the trust layer clears it — and everything that moves is recorded.
The Seven-Layer Trust Stack
Seven checks. One signed decision.
Every agentic action is verified from identity to final audit — without giving up control.
Signed Decision Auditable. Verifiable. Accountable.

Verifiable Intent
Clear evidence of what a person or business actually authorized an agent to do.
Policy & Permission Enforcement
Transaction limits, approved merchants, payment-method restrictions, expirations and human-approval rules enforced.
Secure Payment Delegation
Agents initiate payments through restricted tokens — raw card and bank credentials are never exposed.
Real-Time Risk & Trust Decisions
The transaction, the agent’s behavior, the authorization and the surrounding context evaluated before anything moves.
Payment Orchestration
Approved actions execute safely across cards, ACH, digital wallets and future payment methods.
Auditability & Accountability
A verifiable record of the original instruction, the agent’s identity, its permissions, every policy decision and approval, and the final transaction.
EILS · The Trust Score
Every Agent. Every Transaction. Scored.
ECRYPT's intelligence layer ranks and scores every agent and every transaction in real time — like a credit rating for the agentic economy.
1A1 9Z9
Financial Strength
Can this agent's principal actually stand behind the transaction?
Transaction Reputation
How has this agent behaved across every prior transaction?
Security Commitment
Does it prove its identity and follow its policies, every time?
One score, honored across the agentic ecosystem — enriched with every transaction it touches.
Why ECRYPT Wins
The Science Behind The Trust Layer.
Four proprietary systems, built and battle-tested by one of the top AI-security research teams in the world.

27M verified adults — identity data on 10% of the U.S. adult population, built on our patented verification engine (US 10,984,458 B1 · US 11,488,220 B1). A data moat that compounds with every transaction.
The Trust Challenge
Before an agent takes action.
A person can prove who they are, what they're allowed to do, and what they did. An agent needs infrastructure to prove the same — six questions every business must answer before agents act.
ECRYPT answers all six.
One provable decision before anything moves.
The Six Challenges of Agentic Trust
Six critical risks. One trusted decision.
01
Who’s acting?
The agent, its operator and its live trust status.
02
On whose behalf?
Provable authorization from a real person or business.
03
Within what limits?
Scope, spend, time and permission boundaries — enforced.
04
Is it behaving?
Live conduct matched against the agent that was verified.
05
Should it happen?
Risk, context and policy decided before anything moves.
06
Can you prove it later?
A signed, auditable trail from instruction to outcome.
