Identity authentication in an agentic architecture

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• extracting an embedded first watermark from content received from a first agent device in a first format as part of an agentic workflow;
• authenticating the content in the first format based on an identifier of the first agent device mapped to the first watermark;
• identifying, based on the agentic workflow and in response to the authenticating the content in the first format, a second agent device;
• sending the second agent device at least a portion of the content transformed into a second format that corresponds to the second agent device and embedded with a second watermark in the second format;
• and
• blocking a request from the second agent device to send at least the portion of the content transformed into the second format to a third agent device based on a discrepency between the second watermark and an identifier of the second agent device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• extracting an embedded first watermark from content received from a first agent device in a first format as part of an agentic workflow;
• authenticating the content in the first format based on an identifier of the first agent device mapped to the first watermark;
• identifying, based on the agentic workflow and in response to the authenticating the content in the first format, a second agent device;
• sending the second agent device at least a portion of the content transformed into a second format that corresponds to the second agent device and embedded with a second watermark in the second format;
• and
• blocking a request from the second agent device to send at least the portion of the content transformed into the second format to a third agent device based on a discrepency between the second watermark and an identifier of the second agent device.
