Thoughts on AI, security, trust infrastructure, and the technologies shaping how we build and protect digital systems.
Building trust infrastructure teaches you something quickly. The buyers don’t care about credentials. They care about whether they can make the right call. Quickly, defensibly, and at scale. Verification confirms a credential is real. Eligibility determines whether the holder qualifies for what they’re asking. That distinction changes the architecture.
The last article was the problem. This is the start of the answer. KeyFlux REMIT is our just-in-time auth and verification layer for AI agents with built-in eligibility evaluation. Scoped credentials, delegation traceability, policy enforcement at the tool boundary. Because the trust layer for AI agents needs to exist before agents are fully autonomous, not after.
An AI agent requests access to your payment API. Your auth server validates the OAuth token. Request approved. But which AI system made that request? Acting on whose authority? Within what scope? If it misbehaves, who do you call? Your API key cannot answer these questions. It was never designed to.
For five+ years the digital identity movement struggled to grow up. Governments are now training citizens on wallet interfaces. Companies are moving from proof of concept to production. Digital identity is no longer an experiment. It is becoming a global necessity.
