Sovereign Execution Brokers: Enforcing Certificate-Bound Authority in Agentic Control Planes
arXiv:2606.20520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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 consum
As AI agents become more sophisticated and integrated into critical workflows, the need for robust security and controlled execution, distinct from identity-based access, is becoming urgent.
This development addresses a critical vulnerability in the deployment of autonomous AI systems, enabling safer and more auditable integration into sensitive infrastructure.
The introduction of Sovereign Execution Brokers proposes a new architectural layer for enforcing certified authority in agentic systems, moving beyond traditional access control.
