SEAI: Hardware-rooted identity for autonomous AI
The SEAI Identity Standard proposes a hardware-rooted identity framework for autonomous AI systems, providing verifiable birth certificates, lineage tracking, and hardware attestation. It aims to prevent impersonation, sandbox escapes, and credential theft by tying AI agents to immutable hardware identifiers and a revocation system. The specification is open source, released under the Apache 2.0 license, and intended as a global trust layer for the AI ecosystem.
- ▪SEAI defines cryptographic birth certificates and hardware attestation to verify an AI agent’s identity and origin.
- ▪The framework includes authority scopes and a real-time revocation system to block compromised agents.
- ▪SEAI was developed by ALBOE USA LLC and is offered as an open‑source standard under Apache 2.0.
- ▪The standard provides a non‑bypassable identity firewall that must verify hardware identity before any privileged action.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
SEAI Identity Standard Sovereign Embedded Artificial Intelligence A hardware-rooted identity framework for autonomous AI systems. SEAI defines how autonomous agents prove: Who they are — verifiable birth certificates Where they came from — traceable lineage What hardware they run on — cryptographic hardware attestation What authority they have — scoped permission levels Whether they have been revoked — real-time revocation status SEAI is not a product. SEAI is a global trust layer for AI. Why SEAI Exists AI today has no way to prove identity.
