Identity for AI (IDAI)

Operated by Ping Identity · Agent Identity & Security Infrastructure
Documentation reviewed

Enterprise identity platform that registers each AI agent as a distinct non-human identity tied to a human owner, using OAuth 2.0 delegation and a runtime gateway to enforce scoped access to enterprise systems and MCP servers.

Verification notes: New listing, added this pass. Reached general availability March 31, 2026, confirmed via Ping Identity's own developer documentation and a May 27, 2026 press release positioning it as an identity control plane for the agentic enterprise. The core mechanism is OAuth 2.0-based delegation — an agent receives scoped, time-limited tokens tied to a human owner rather than acting under a shared service account — enforced at runtime by an Agent Gateway component; PingOne Protect adds agent-specific risk detection. MCP support is documented and real: Ping's own solution guide describes protecting “the MCP servers, APIs, and resources that agents call at runtime,” and the pingidentity/agent-plugins GitHub repository shows working MCP server integration. cryptoSigned stays false: the identity mechanism is OAuth token exchange, not a signed-key or certificate-based proof of agent identity, so it doesn't meet this site's bar for that flag even though the tokens themselves can be signed JWTs. A2A support isn't confirmed — Ping publishes only a generic explainer page on the A2A protocol, not an implementation. Competes directly with Okta for AI Agents, Auth0's Auth for GenAI, and Entra Agent ID — all identity-vendor approaches to the same underlying problem, with meaningfully different mechanisms worth comparing rather than treating as interchangeable.
