AIM provides cryptographic identity, capability-based access control, and continuous trust evaluation for autonomous AI agents. Secure your AI infrastructure with one line of code.
from aim_sdk import secure
# One line to secure any AI agent
agent = secure("my-agent")
# AIM automatically:
# ✓ Generates Ed25519 cryptographic identity
# ✓ Discovers and attests MCP servers
# ✓ Enforces capability-based access
# ✓ Monitors trust score in real-time
# ✓ Logs all actions for auditAgent Identity Management (AIM) is the practice of creating, authenticating, authorizing, and governing digital identities for autonomous AI agents. Unlike traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) designed for human users, agent identity management addresses the unique challenges of non-human, autonomous systems that make decisions and take actions without human intervention.
As AI agents become critical infrastructure—connecting to databases, calling APIs, accessing sensitive data, and making autonomous decisions—organizations need purpose-built security that goes beyond retrofitting legacy authentication systems.
| Aspect | Traditional IAM | Agent Identity Management |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Type | Human users | Autonomous AI agents |
| Decision Making | Human-in-the-loop | Autonomous, no human review |
| Behavior | Predictable workflows | Dynamic, emergent behavior |
| Permissions | Fixed roles (RBAC) | Capability-based, context-aware |
| Lifecycle | Long-lived accounts | Ephemeral, dynamic provisioning |
| Trust Model | Static trust after auth | Continuous trust evaluation |
AIM implements the five security principles that every autonomous AI agent needs
Every agent receives a unique Ed25519 keypair for unforgeable identity. No shared credentials, no API keys to rotate.
Agents are restricted to explicitly declared capabilities. Principle of least privilege enforced automatically.
8-factor trust scoring continuously monitors agent behavior and adjusts permissions in real-time.
Every agent action is logged with cryptographic attribution for compliance and forensics.
Automatic discovery and verification of MCP servers your agents connect to.
Complete visibility into your AI agent infrastructure with dashboards and alerts.
ServiceNow disclosed what researchers called "the most severe AI-driven vulnerability to date"—exposing 85% of Fortune 500 companies through improperly secured AI agents with universal credentials, email-only authentication, and unrestricted capabilities.
