Building Identity Systems for Autonomous Enterprises

I’ve been exploring how identity systems need to evolve as enterprises become increasingly autonomous — with AI agents and APIs making decisions without human intermediaries. The article argues that static credentials like passwords and API keys can’t scale in these environments. Instead, identity must be dynamic, context-aware, and cryptographically verifiable.

Three key areas stood out: decentralized identity standards, just-in-time credential issuance, and autonomous trust negotiation between agents.

I’m curious — how are others approaching machine identity lifecycle management when both issuance and trust decisions must happen autonomously in real time?
