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