Assurance-Conditioned Continuous Authorization for Autonomous AI Agents
New framework proposes runtime, continuous authorization for autonomous AI agents, addressing the privilege-drift risk enterprises face as agentic systems proliferate.

arXiv:2611.05632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous software agents can act through tools, delegate work, and change their models or execution environments while earlier authorizations remain in flight. We present Assurance-Conditioned Continuous Authorization (ACCA), an approach designed to be harness-independent, for maintaining operational authority according to currently justified assurance. It distinguishes evidence validity from contextual applicability, derives assurance claims
Editorial Analysis
As enterprises deploy autonomous AI agents, traditional one-time authorization is insufficient; continuous assurance-conditioned checks prevent privilege creep and reduce blast radius.
Map current AI-agent deployments against a continuous-authorization model and identify where static permissions create unacceptable risk.
Autonomous AI agents require continuous authorization controls to prevent privilege drift—a governance gap as agentic AI scales.
