OPAQUE Unveils OPAQUE 3.0, Delivering an Agent Governance Toolkit with Verifiable Identity
OPAQUE is introducing OPAQUE 3.0, a new platform that brings verifiable trust to AI agents through open governance standards, cryptographic identity, and confidential execution.
According to the company, for the first time, an enterprise can prove what its AI actually did, what it ran, and where it ran instead of asking customers and regulators to take its word for it.
This announcement includes two major open-source milestones: the release of Agent Manifest, a new open standard for verifiable AI agents built on the Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT), and the launch of Confidential MCP, the first Model Context Protocol implementation that is both verifiably governed and secured through confidential computing.
Together, these technologies allow enterprises to move beyond "trust us" AI, the company said.
Enterprises can apply it to the AI they already run—no rewrites, no new platform required—with every AI action executed under governance enforced in hardware and producing a signed receipt that an auditor, a regulator, or a customer can check on their own, without trusting OPAQUE or the company operating the AI.
It runs on the CPU-based confidential computing platforms from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. And, on NVIDIA Confidential Computing, the integration brings GPUs inside the Trusted Execution Environment.
OPAQUE 3.0 runs across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments. OPAQUE's approach builds on AGT, the open-source governance framework created by Imran Siddique during his time at Microsoft. Siddique recently joined OPAQUE as Chief Platform Officer and has led the development of Agent Manifest and Confidential MCP, extending AGT from governance policy definition to cryptographically verifiable enforcement, the company said.
The standard is open by design; how the industry verifies AI should not belong to any one vendor. The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) of the United Arab Emirates is a founding partner, anchoring the standard in sovereign-AI deployments.
The partnership also reaches past today's threat model. OPAQUE and TII are bringing TII's post-quantum cryptography into OPAQUE 3.0, so agent identities and signed evidence remain verifiable even against quantum-era adversaries.
OPAQUE will name founding coalition members at launch, and the standard and both implementations are open now at github.com/agentrust-io.
"The more autonomous your AI agents become, the more your security posture has to keep pace—capability without accountability is a liability," said Aaron Fulkerson, CEO of OPAQUE. "Organizations deploying AI agents are stuck on a question existing tooling can't answer: is this agent still governed the way I intended, and can I prove it to someone with no reason to trust me? OPAQUE 3.0 provides hardware-enforced governance and independently verifiable evidence of agent activity. That's what we're shipping and opening today."
