为智能体控制平面设计证书绑定的执行管控系统,确保操作权限可审计、可撤销。
Sovereign Execution Broker: Enforcing Certificate-Bound Authority in Agentic Control Planes
- 通过证书验证机制,在执行时强制校验动作是否符合预授权合约
- 实测在AWS和K8s上延迟增加<10%,支持实时撤销与状态漂移检测
- 适合需要高安全性的自动化运维、云原生智能体等场景
自主智能体正越来越多地接入云、部署和数据控制流程,但生产环境的变更权限不应置于非确定性推理过程中。现有访问控制仅授权身份,而保证层仅认证提议动作,二者均无法在变更瞬间强制执行已认证的权限。本文提出主权执行代理(Sovereign Execution Broker, SEB),作为证书绑定智能体基础设施的运行时强制边界。SEB接收由主权保证边界(SAB)签发的证书,验证请求变更是否匹配认证的执行合同,检查有效时间窗、策略周期、吊销周期及实时状态漂移,并生成作用域受限的执行身份,调用基础设施API,记录带签名的决策与结果。通过分离提议、准入与执行,SEB将认证权限转化为短时、可撤销、可审计的运行时能力,前提是生产变更API拒绝非代理身份。本文阐述了SEB执行模型、证书与回放验证谓词、作用域身份语义、防绕过部署模式、故障行为及具体原型实现。在AWS和Kubernetes集群上评估原型,测量延迟开销、吊销传播、漂移检测效果及故障注入下的安全性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous agents are increasingly connected to cloud, deployment, and data-control workflows, but production mutation authority should not reside inside non-deterministic reasoning processes. Existing access-control mechanisms authorize identities, while assurance layers certify proposed actions; neither alone provides a mandatory enforcement point for certified authority at the moment of mutation. This paper introduces the Sovereign Execution Broker (SEB), a runtime enforcement boundary for certificate-bound agentic infrastructure. SEB consumes certificates issued by the Sovereign Assurance Boundary (SAB), verifies that the requested mutation matches the certified execution contract, checks validity windows, policy epochs, revocation epochs, and live-state drift, mints scoped execution identity, invokes infrastructure APIs, and records signed decision and outcome records. By separating proposal, admission, and execution, SEB turns certified authority into a short-lived, revocable, auditable runtime capability, provided that production mutation APIs reject non-broker identities. We present the SEB execution model, certificate and replay-verification predicates, scoped identity semantics, bypass-prevention deployment patterns, failure behavior, and a concrete prototype implementation. We evaluate the prototype on AWS and Kubernetes clusters, measuring latency overheads, revocation propagation, drift detection, and security under fault injection.
