Shufti launches Know Your Agent for AI agent identity and authorization
What happened
- Shufti launched Know Your Agent (KYA), an AI agent verification solution, announced 28 October 2026 in London.
- Shufti KYA verifies the AI agent's identity, confirms a real person authorized the action, and checks the agent's permissions in a single flow.
- Each AI agent receives a unique time-bound credential that can be revoked, and every agent receives a trust score.
- For high-risk or out-of-mandate actions, KYA requires a selfie liveness check of the authorizing person, which the vendor says is iBeta Level 3 certified.
- Shufti KYA is now available for businesses engaged in agentic commerce and other AI agent workflows.
- Shufti states it already supports agents such as Meta Muse, GrokBot and OpenAI Dots, within a week of their launch.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Signicat's agentic AI identity coverage is not evidenced in supplied context; KYA targets a new use case (agent authorization) adjacent to authentication and orchestration.
- Vendor's iBeta claim and agent-support claims are uncorroborated by independent sources in the article.
