Product Vision
AuthSec is building the future of identity where users and AI agents authenticate securely, without secrets, across cloud-native and enterprise environments.
In a world where applications are increasingly powered by AI agents, distributed services, and zero-trust architectures, traditional approaches to authentication fall short. Shared secrets, static credentials, and centralized login UIs create risk, friction, and complexity.
AuthSec envisions an identity layer that is:
AI-native — seamlessly authenticating both human users and autonomous AI agents.
Headless — decoupled from rigid login UIs, designed for API-first and embedded use cases.
Secretless — removing shared secrets through ephemeral, cryptographically secure identity verification.
Positioning Statement
For modern product teams building secure apps in the AI era, AuthSec is the first headless, AI-native authentication platform that enables user and agent identity without client secrets.
Unlike traditional IdPs like Auth0, Okta, or Entra ID, AuthSec:
Enables secretless authentication from day one.
Supports AI agents via token-bound, scoped identity.
Offers flexible SDKs and APIs with no vendor-lock login flows.
Makes identity extensible through machine interfaces, not dashboards.
Target Market
B2B SaaS platforms serving multi-tenant organizations with complex access control.
DevTools & AI tools (like Cursor, Claude, Windsurf) needing secure agent-based access.
Enterprises adopting Zero Trust and secretless security principles.
Platform teams building developer-first experiences that can’t depend on hosted UIs or shared secrets.
Key Capabilities
Secretless OIDC / PKJWT: Authenticate apps and agents without any client secrets.
Headless Login Flows: Use APIs, SDKs, and CLIs to create and manage auth flows.
Scoped Access Tokens: With org-specific, role-based access control (RBAC).
Federated Identity & SSO: Bring your own IdP and connect it securely via secretless JWTs.
Developer-Centric Tooling: CLI-first setup, GitOps integration, and SDKs for fast onboarding.
Strategic Outlook
As AI agents become first-class citizens in software ecosystems, identity will evolve from user-first to agent-inclusive. Organizations will demand:
Granular access control across tenants and services
Secretless security models for scale and compliance
Programmable identity to integrate with internal developer platforms
AuthSec is not just an identity provider. It’s the programmable authentication fabric for AI-native teams.
