At the centre of the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform is NVIDIA Openshell, an open, secure runtime that places infrastructure-level controls around autonomous agents. Openshell permits nothing by default, enforces policy outside the agent’s process, and records every decision to allow or deny an action. Digicert complements those controls with Digicert AI Trust Manager, which helps organisations discover and manage the AI agents they own or operate, establish each agent’s verifiable identity and ownership, define what it is authorised to do, and revoke that authority with a kill switch when trust changes.

Together, the technologies address two critical requirements for autonomous AI: identifying which agent is acting and controlling what an agent can do.

“AI agents are starting to do real work across business systems, and that means companies need to know exactly which agent is acting, what it’s allowed to do, and when to stop it,” said Amit Sinha, CEO of Digicert. “NVIDIA helps create the boundary around the agent. Digicert helps establish who that agent is and what authority it has. Together, that gives enterprises a much clearer way to put autonomous AI to work with control and accountability.”

“As agents begin interacting with other agents beyond company lines, identity cannot depend on every participant belonging to the same identity system,” Sinha said. “We need a trust model that can cross those boundaries. PKI solved that problem for the internet at scale, and we believe the same foundation has an important role to play in establishing trust for autonomous agents.”

Digicert AI Trust Manager support for NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform begins with NVIDIA Openshell, with additional capabilities planned as Digicert and NVIDIA continue to advance enterprise AI trust and agent security.
