PUFsecurity: AI Agent Trust Must Start in Silicon Root of Trust
San Jose – October 09, 2026 -- PUFsecurity, a subsidiary of eMemory Technology, argues that the security of AI agents ultimately rests on hardware Roots of Trust in the chips that run them, as agents gain delegated credentials and act without user review.
Agents that act on their own output raise the cost of compromise
Unlike a chatbot, an agent runs persistently, holds delegated credentials, browses the web, executes code and calls connected services. PUFsecurity says a misled chatbot yields a bad answer a person can still catch, while a misled agent can act with the user's credentials before anyone checks.
