The integration of autonomous AI agents into enterprise systems presents significant security challenges, particularly concerning identity and access management. Traditional OAuth 2.0 protocols, designed for deterministic applications, struggle to attribute actions taken by stochastic AI agents, leading to potential unauthorized transactions and regulatory liability. Emerging solutions like On-Behalf-Of (OBO) delegation, Agentic JSON Web Tokens (A-JWT), and AAuth aim to establish cryptographic boundaries between human intent and AI execution. Architectures are shifting towards decoupling OAuth transport from workload trust using SPIFFE attestation and kernel-level credential brokering to address this intent-execution separation problem.
