Global Agentic Identity and Programmable Trust: Lessons Learned From the NATO DIANA Pilot
summary
NATO DIANA pilot demonstrates a working mesh that uses confidential computing to give each entity a self‑generated 256‑bit cryptographic identifier that is also its key, enabling cryptographic linking and pairwise automated key exchanges without domain anchors. The deployment pipeline (Rust CI/CD) auto‑creates agents, registers fingerprints in a universal certificate authority, and interoperates with OpenID Connect and x509. After a December pilot with NCIA and selection from 1,300 applicants into the inaugural cohort, the mesh runs, encrypts live databases inside TEEs, and is now a chip-level zero-trust recommendation.
