Two use cases

Identity for agents. Autopilot for the estate.

Autonomous software creates two security problems at once: nobody can say which agent acted and the cryptography underneath cannot keep up with machine speed.

DuoKey answers both with one platform, agents get provable identities and the keys and certificates they use stay current under policy.

Use case 1

Manage the cryptographic estate with agents

Let agents run renewals, rotations and revocations under guardrails.

Certificates expire, algorithms change and key material drifts out of policy faster than a manual program can follow. DuoKey agents prepare the work, scan what is due, propose the change, execute what policy allows, while people approve the exceptions.

Agents surface expiring certs, weak algorithms and policy drift
Routine renewals and rotations run automatically within guardrails
Every crypto change is logged against the agent that executed it

Use case 2

Add cryptographic identity to agents

Issue every agent credentials only it can use and prove.

Shared service accounts erase accountability. DuoKey gives each agent, script and pipeline its own cryptographic identity at creation, bound to an owner, scoped to a task and revocable the moment context changes.

One cryptographic identity per agent, no copied secrets
Access scoped to task and owner, not a standing role
Immediate revocation when an agent is retired or misbehaves

Unknown actorVerified identity

The problem

Agents need identity and crypto ops at machine speed

Shared credentials and manual key programs cannot keep up.

Autonomous agents request keys, sign transactions and touch production data faster than any human review cycle. Without per-agent identity, audit trails dead-end at a shared account. Without agent-driven crypto ops, certificates and keys fall out of policy before anyone notices.
