AI Agents Get Cryptographic Identity Controls as Autonomy Expands

UK firm Nuggets has released open-source authorization software that enforces real-time controls over autonomous AI agents, while Innovation Labs has assembled a high-level advisory council — including former NSA and ICANN leaders — to establish trust and governance standards for the agentic AI era. The accelerating push to assign verifiable identity, delegated authority, and cryptographic accountability to AI agents mirrors the biblical warning of a coming global system capable of monitoring, controlling, and restricting every action of every individual at machine speed. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a Beast system that controls who may 'buy or sell,' and the infrastructure now being built — identity credentials, consent enforcement, and instant revocation — forms the technical skeleton upon which such totalising control could operate.
