πŸͺͺ Identity

Anonymous agents
are ungovernable.

Every agent in your organization needs a verified identity before it takes a single action. Nomotic issues cryptographic birth certificates β€” signed, bound to governance policy, and traceable to a human owner. Authority is issued, never assumed.

Agent Birth Certificate

Every agent gets
a birth certificate.

A cryptographically signed document issued at agent creation β€” before any action is authorized. The certificate binds the agent's identity to its governance configuration. If the configuration changes, the hash changes. Tampering is detectable.

Birth Certificates

Cryptographic identity issued at agent creation. Ed25519 signed, governance hash bound, traceable to a human owner. One command to provision.

All Tiers
πŸ›οΈ

Certificate Authority

Hosted CA at ca.nomotic.ai. Free identity certificates, unlimited issuance. Self-hosted CA option for enterprises requiring on-premise infrastructure.

Tiered Identity

Three certificate tiers: Identity (known), Governed (behavioral binding), Verified (audited). Each tier earns more trust and access within the platform.

All Tiers
πŸ“‹

Transparency Log

All issued certificates published to a public transparency log. Organizations can monitor for unauthorized agent registrations in their namespace.

Governance Hash Binding

The certificate is cryptographically bound to the agent's governance configuration. Any config change updates the hash β€” creating an auditable linkage.

Shadow Agent Detection

Detect ungoverned agents operating in your environment. One-click promotion from shadow to identified to governed. No agent goes unaccounted.

Developer Experience

One command to provision
a verified agent.

Identity provisioning takes seconds. The certificate travels with every governance evaluation, and the CLI gives you full lifecycle control.
