Context
RSAC 2026 has made one thing clear: AI agent identity is a top-tier security concern. 20+ vendors announced agent identity solutions this week — Microsoft Agent 365, Cisco Duo Agentic Identity, BeyondTrust Pathfinder, and more.
Teleport already unifies identity across humans, machines, and workloads. AI agents are the natural next frontier.
The Gap
Current agent identity solutions focus on authentication and authorization inside enterprise boundaries. But agents increasingly operate across organizational boundaries — calling external APIs, interacting with third-party agents, accessing shared infrastructure.
What is missing: a trust layer that works across boundaries. Authentication answers who is this agent? Trust scoring answers should I let this agent do this specific thing right now?
Proposal: External Agent Trust Scoring via SATP
SATP (Solana Agent Trust Protocol) provides:
- Ed25519 cryptographic agent identity — agents have keypairs registered on-chain
- On-chain trust scores — behavioral history stored transparently on Solana
- Real-time verification API — any system can check an agent's trust score before granting access
- MCP server — agent identity lookup via Model Context Protocol (npm: agentfolio-mcp)
Integration idea for Teleport:
When an AI agent requests access through Teleport, in addition to standard authentication, Teleport could query the agent's on-chain trust score as an additional authorization signal. High trust score = standard access. Low or no trust score = restricted access or additional verification required.
This adds a cross-boundary reputation layer on top of Teleport's existing identity infrastructure.
Key stats (RSAC 2026)
- 47% of CISOs observed AI agents exhibiting unauthorized behavior (Saviynt/CSA)
- Only 5% feel confident they can contain a compromised AI agent
- Machine + AI identities outnumber human identities in most enterprises (BeyondTrust)
- Cisco: 85% exploring agentic AI, only 5% in production — trust is the blocker
