What is the agent-governance-toolkit?

Open-source framework for cryptographic identities, trust scoring, and delegation in multi-agent AI. Handles verification so agents don't get duped.

How do DIDs work for AI agents?

Decentralized Identifiers from public keys — unique, self-verifying IDs. No central auth. Agents sign messages; receivers validate instantly.

Does zero-trust mesh prevent compromised AI agents?

It quarantines them via dropping trust scores and policy enforcement. Actions restricted automatically — buys time for intervention.
