arXiv:2606. 11632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic infrastructure introduces a critical control-plane authorization problem: non-deterministic reasoning systems can propose high-stakes mutations to production resources, yet existing security mechanisms -- such as identity and access management (IAM), policy engines, consensus protocols, and audit logs -- either enforce static, context-unaware permissions or merely record actions post-execution.

arXiv:2606. 20520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents are increasingly connected to cloud, deployment, and data-control workflows, but production mutation authority should not reside inside non-deterministic reasoning processes.

The paper introduces CONTINUITY, a framework that ensures secure composition of large language model (LLM) agent controls by using assume‑guarantee contracts and authenticated security contexts. It models each component with signed root grants, provenance commitments, and other mechanisms to carry security context across transitions, formalizing end‑to‑end consequence integrity. A reference verifier and fault‑injection suite demonstrate that the full configuration prevents harmful effects while completing all benign tasks and correctly escalating ambiguous cases.

arXiv:2608. 06130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents performing cryptographic operations (signing Git commits, authenticating API calls, issuing certificates) currently store private keys in software-accessible locations: plaintext files, environment variables, or container memory.
