PUFsecurity Says AI Agent Trust Starts in Silicon

In a press release, PUFsecurity says AI agent security ultimately depends on hardware roots of trust. The eMemory Technology subsidiary argues that agents need verified device identities and protected credentials because they can execute code, access services and act without user approval for every step.

The company says remote attestation can confirm which device is running a workload and what software it booted before a service releases keys or other secrets. This process requires an attestation signing key that compromised software cannot read or forge.

PUFsecurity offers PUFrt, hardware root of trust intellectual property that derives device specific values from variations in silicon. It also includes a true random number generator and secure storage for functions including secure boot, key provisioning and lifecycle data.
