Anatomy of a 12-stage verification pipeline for AI agent credentials
Por qué 12 etapas Cuando empecé a diseñar el Universal Trust Adapter (UTA) , pensé: "verificar una credencial es verificar la firma criptográfica y punto." Error. Una credencial puede tener la firma criptográfica correcta y aún así ser: Expirada (firmada correctamente, pero hace 3 años) Revocada (firmada correctamente, pero el issuer la revocó) Mal scope (firmada correctamente, pero pide permisos…
The Universal Trust Adapter (UTA) is a tool for verifying credentials, which involves a 12-stage process to ensure the validity of a credential. The stages include parsing, detecting the credential format, schema validation, cryptographic verification, and checking the issuer, among others. The UTA is implemented in TypeScript and is available as @marketnow/trust-core, allowing users to verify credentials and inspect individual stage results.
The tool can perform 6,744 verifications per second on a single core, with the cryptographic verification stage being the slowest. The UTA provides observability and flexibility, enabling users to customize policies and audit verification decisions.
