abstract
Modern cloud and enterprise systems rely on identity-centric authorization, assuming that callers possessing valid credentials are safe to execute commands. The emergence of autonomous AI agents invalidates this assumption: agents can generate syntactically valid but semantically unsafe actions, making standing privileges a significant operational risk. This risk becomes especially acute in sovereign AI systems, where autonomous agents may interact with cloud infrastructure, regulated data, financial workflows, and national-scale digital services. Governed mutation substrates reduce this risk by interposing on agent actions: agents submit intents, infrastructure evaluates context and policy, and execution is mediated. However, this shifts the trust boundary: how can the decision to authorize an intent be made verifiable, distributed, and replayable? We introduce a Distributed Trust Framework (DTF), a verification framework for governed mutation systems that computes execution authority from structured, verifiable artifacts. DTF introduces a Justification Proof to encode the admissibility basis of an action, a consensus model for independent evaluation, an ephemeral Execution Identity derived from the approved proof, and an append-only Evidence Chain that preserves the authorization lifecycle. Under stated substrate assumptions, this architecture enforces a compact authorization invariant: no high-stakes execution without a proof object, no derived authority without consensus, and no valid mutation detached from evidence. We define the model, instantiate it over an OpenKedge-based governed mutation substrate, and show how it maps onto cloud-native environments. By shifting authorization from standing identity to proof-derived authority, DTF provides an infrastructure foundation for making agentic execution governable, auditable, and bounded in sovereign AI deployments.
