Authgent — Secure AI Agent Authentication & Credential Management

With AI, anyone can hack.
Your agent's keys shouldn't be one tutorial away from stolen.
_
Real-world failures

API key breaches we prevent.

Every year, API keys leak from places everyone trusted. These companies had security teams, audits, and budgets. The keys were still exposed.
2024
Vercel Environment Variable Exposure
Build logs and preview deployments leaked environment variables containing API keys. Secrets meant for production ended up readable in CI output.
✓ With Authgent, there are no environment variables to leak. Keys never exist in your build pipeline.
2023
CircleCI Secret Exfiltration
Attackers compromised a CircleCI engineer’s laptop and used it to steal customer secrets — API tokens, service credentials, signing keys — stored in the CI platform.
✓ With Authgent, stolen tokens are already burned. An attacker gets expired, one-time keys — worthless.
2022
Samsung Source Code Leak
The Lapsus$ group exfiltrated 190 GB of Samsung source code. Researchers found hardcoded API keys and credentials embedded in the codebase.
✓ With Authgent, your codebase has zero credentials in it. There’s nothing to find, even in a full source leak.
2021
Codecov Supply Chain Attack
Attackers modified Codecov’s bash uploader to exfiltrate environment variables — including CI tokens, AWS keys, and API secrets — from thousands of customer pipelines.
✓ With Authgent, environment variables don’t hold secrets. A compromised tool scrapes an empty drawer.
Three operations

How AI agent credential management works.

01 · REGISTERISOLATED

Your key is created inside a locked vault.

When you register an agent, a key is generated inside a vault nobody can open — not even us. You get a login token to control your agent. The actual key stays locked inside. Always.

$ authgent register --name my-agent
→ credential generated in secured hardware…
agent_id: d72caa47-d8d5
token: agt_9f2c…b81a
02 · CALLZERO CUSTODY

The vault makes the call for you. The key never leaves.

Your agent says "charge this card" — the vault unlocks the key, makes the call, and locks it again instantly. Your agent gets the result. The key never left the room.

agent.call(
  provider="stripe",
  method="POST",
  path="/v1/charges")
200 · via authgent
03 · REVOKEINSTANT

Something wrong? Kill the key instantly.

One command and the key is destroyed inside the vault. Gone forever. Like changing the locks — the old key is dead, nothing works with it anymore. You can create a new agent in seconds.

$ authgent revoke
→ destroying credential…

Security threat model for AI agent authentication.

Protected

Someone hacks your AI agent
Every request uses a one-time key that burns the moment it’s used. An attacker intercepting it gets a dead credential. There’s nothing to revoke — it’s already gone.
Someone hacks our database
They find scrambled data they can't read. The real keys are inside the vault — the database never had them. Like stealing a safe that you can't open.
Someone hacks our servers
They find routing data and burned keys — all already expired. No real passwords, no live credentials. Re-register and you’re back in minutes.
A rogue employee
Our own team can't see your keys. They see encrypted blobs — gibberish without the vault. Even we can't peek inside.
Someone intercepts the API calls
The call is made from inside the vault — not from your server. The key never travels over your network. An attacker sniffing your traffic sees nothing because the key was never there.
Someone reads your code or config
There are no keys in your codebase. No .env files, no config files, no secrets anywhere in your environment. Nothing to find. Like searching a house where the valuables were never brought home.
DDoS or service outage
Authgent runs on your machine, not ours. There’s no central server to take down. Your vault works offline — no cloud dependency, no single point of failure.

Out of scope

×
Physically tampering with the vault
Directly attacking the sealed infrastructure that holds your keys. No known real-world attack has achieved this against current-generation vaults.
×
Controlling what your agent decides to do
We limit what your agent is allowed to do — but we don't control its reasoning. That's your responsibility.
×
Securing your own services
We protect the keys and make the call. But your own APIs still need their own security — we can't do that for you.
×
Filtering what your agent says
We control which APIs your agent can access and revoke credentials instantly — but we don’t read or filter its messages.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How does Authgent secure my AI agent’s API keys?

Your API keys are stored inside a zero-custody vault that nobody can open — not even us. When your agent needs to make an API call, the vault makes the call on its behalf. The key never leaves the vault, never travels over your network, and never appears in your code or environment variables.

What is zero-custody credential management?

Zero-custody means the service that stores your credentials cannot access or extract them. Unlike a traditional password manager where the operator could theoretically read your secrets, Authgent’s vault is sealed — credentials are generated, used, and destroyed inside it without ever being readable to anyone.

What happens if my AI agent is compromised?

Every request uses a one-time key that burns the moment it’s used. An attacker intercepting it gets a dead credential. You can also revoke all access instantly with a single command, destroying the key inside the vault permanently.

Which AI frameworks and providers does Authgent support?

Authgent works with any API — OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, GitHub, AWS, and any service that uses API keys or tokens. It’s framework-agnostic: use it with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, or your own custom agent code.

How is Authgent different from a secrets manager like Vault or AWS Secrets Manager?

Traditional secrets managers store and retrieve secrets — your application still handles the raw key. Authgent never exposes the key to your application at all. The vault makes the API call directly, so the secret never exists outside of sealed infrastructure. No key in memory, no key in transit, no key to steal.
