Verifiable Agentic Infrastructure: Proof-Derived Authorization for Sovereign AI Systems
The paper introduces a Distributed Trust Framework (DTF) designed to enhance authorization for sovereign AI systems. It addresses the risks posed by autonomous AI agents that can perform unsafe actions despite having valid credentials. By shifting the focus from identity-based authorization to proof-derived authority, DTF aims to create a more governable and auditable infrastructure for AI deployments.
- ▪Modern systems rely on identity-centric authorization, which is challenged by autonomous AI agents.
- ▪The Distributed Trust Framework (DTF) provides a verification framework for governed mutation systems.
- ▪DTF enforces a compact authorization invariant that ensures no high-stakes execution occurs without a proof object.

The emergence of autonomous AI agents invalidates this assumption: agents can generate syntactically valid but semantically unsafe actions, making standing privileges a significant operational risk.
