mTLS for AI AgentsMutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) for AI agents is a security protocol where both the agent and the connecting service verify each other with X.509 digital certificates.
SPIFFESecure Production Identity Framework for Everyone (SPIFFE) is an open-source standard for establishing cryptographic identities for software workloads, microservices and containers.
SPIRE ServerA SPIRE Server is the control plane for SPIFFE environments. It acts as the central certificate authority and trust anchor for assigning cryptographic identities (known as SPIFFE Verifiable Identity Documents or SVIDs) to workloads, AI agents and containers.
SVIDsA SPIFFE Verifiable Identity Document (SVID) is a credential that establishes identity for a workload, service or container to a resource or another service. The credential is cryptographically signed and encodes a unique SPIFFE ID issued in either X.509 or JWT format.
Workload IdentityWorkload identity is a unique, cryptographically verifiable identity assigned to a non-human software workload such as a microservice, application, container, serverless function or scripts.
X.509 CertificateAn X.509 certificate is a standardized digital file which cryptographically binds a public key to an identity such as a person, device, server, workload or AI agent.
