AI Trust Manager provides cryptographically signed AI Passports, policy-based permissions and a kill switch for agent authority.
DigiCert announced support for the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform to help enterprises establish verifiable identity and authority for autonomous AI agents.
At the center of the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform is NVIDIA OpenShell, an open, secure runtime that places infrastructure-level controls around autonomous agents. OpenShell permits nothing by default, enforces policy outside the agent’s process, and records every decision to allow or deny an action. DigiCert complements those controls with DigiCert AI Trust Manager, which helps organizations discover and manage the AI agents they own or operate, establish each agent’s verifiable identity and ownership, define what it is authorized to do, and revoke that authority with a kill switch when trust changes.
Together, the technologies address two critical requirements for autonomous AI: identifying which agent is acting and controlling what an agent can do.
Giving AI agents a verifiable passport
NVIDIA OpenShell lets an agent retain its reasoning and skills while every file, network, process, credential, and inference call crosses a boundary controlled by the platform. Because enforcement occurs outside the agent’s process, even a compromised agent cannot override the restrictions. NVIDIA Sentry on BlueField-4, powered by NVIDIA DOCA, adds hardware-isolated,…
