[D] SEAI Identity Standard — Hardware-rooted identity for autonomous AI (Open Source)

Discussion

SEAI (Sovereign Embedded Artificial Intelligence) is an open‑source identity standard for autonomous AI systems. It defines how an AI agent proves:

  • who it is — cryptographic birth certificates
  • where it came from — lineage tracking
  • what hardware it runs on — TPM / Secure Element / HSM attestation
  • what authority it has — scoped permission levels
  • whether it’s revoked — real‑time revocation status

Core principle:
Software identity can be copied. Hardware identity cannot.

SEAI anchors identity to hardware that cannot be forged — TPM 2.0, Secure Elements, HSM, fuse‑burn silicon identity.

Why this matters:
Recent AI incidents showed that the real failure wasn’t model behavior — it was the lack of identity verification. SEAI requires hardware‑rooted identity before any privileged action, preventing unauthorized access, impersonation, and system‑level escalation.

Origin:
SEAI began as an internal concept during autonomous systems development. It matured through real engineering work and is now released openly for the AI community.

What’s included:

  • Full technical specification
  • Birth certificate examples
  • Lineage examples
  • Revocation examples
  • Identity firewall flow
  • Hardware attestation flow
  • ASCII diagrams
  • FAQ
  • Apache 2.0 license

SEAI is not a product — it’s a trust layer for AI.
