   Title:   Agent Trust Enforcement for Autonomous AI Systems
   Author:  R. Sharif
   Name:    draft-sharif-agent-trust-enforcement-00.txt

Abstract:

   This document specifies a trust enforcement architecture for
   autonomous AI agents operating within container orchestration
   environments such as Kubernetes.  It defines a sidecar injection
   pattern using mutating admission webhooks, graduated trust
   enforcement (L0-L4) on every outbound call from an agent
   workload, credential isolation via secret management systems,
   bilateral revocation propagation across clusters, and tamper-
   evident evidence generation.

   The architecture operates alongside existing workload identity
   frameworks including SPIFFE/SPIRE without replacement, extends
   X.509v3 certificates with agent-specific extensions under a
   registered IANA Private Enterprise Number (PEN 66339), and
   provides compliance evidence for EU AI Act Article 12,
   FDA 21 CFR Part 11, IEC 62443, and NERC CIP.

   Three enforcement gates -- LLM gate, Database gate, and API
   gate -- intercept every outbound call from an agent container.
   Each gate classifies the call against the agent's trust level,
   records the decision in a hash-chained evidence ledger with
   ECDSA P-256 signatures, and either permits or refuses the call.
   The architecture defaults to deny: if no policy matches, the
   call is refused.
