Cryptographic agent governance

Know where your
agents went.

HopSeal wraps every autonomous AI agent deployment in a cryptographic seal. Hop-counted missions, signed return receipts, tamper-proof audit trails. TTL for AI agents.

agent-deploy.sh
$ hopseal deploy --agent recon-07 --hops 12 --tools web,api,db
✓ Mission sealed · sig: 0x8a3f...c91e
✓ Hop limit: 12 · TTL: 3600s

// how it works

Seal. Deploy. Verify.

Every agent mission gets three cryptographic guarantees before it leaves your infrastructure.

01

Hop-Counted Missions

Like network TTL, but for AI agents. Set a hop limit. The agent can make exactly that many tool calls, API requests, or sub-agent spawns. Hit zero, it comes home.

02

Sealed Parameters

Mission objectives, tool allowlists, and data access scopes are cryptographically signed at deploy time. No runtime mutation. No scope creep. No goal hijacking.

03

Signed Return Receipts

When an agent completes its mission, it produces a cryptographic proof of what it did, what it accessed, and whether it stayed within bounds. Verifiable by any auditor.

04

Immutable Trace Ledger

Every hop is recorded in a tamper-proof ledger. Full chain-of-custody from deploy to return. OWASP Agentic Top 10 compliant. EU AI Act ready.

Not a checkbox exercise. Each risk is structurally addressed by the protocol.

ASI-03 Privilege Compromise sealed
ASI-05 Cascading Hallucination Failures sealed
ASI-09 Rogue Agent Behavior sealed
// the future

Autonomy without
amnesia.

The world is shipping autonomous AI agents into production faster than it can secure them. HopSeal exists because "trust but verify" doesn't work when you can't verify. Every agent that leaves your infrastructure should come back with proof of where it went.
