Trusted AI Agent Transactions, Part 2: PingFederate Token Exchange

Using PingFederate as a Transaction Token Service Part 1 separated the user, logical agent, runtime workload, agent execution, and transaction identities. This part shows where they are joined safely. In the Tokenetes architecture, a Transaction Token Service, or TTS, uses the RFC 8693 token exchange protocol to mint a Txn-Token. This implementation assigns that logical role to PingFederate. The agent sends: subject_token = the user's access token subject_token_type = access token actor_t

Trusted AI Agent Transactions, Part 1: The Identity Problem

The identity problem behind AI agents An application that calls an API for a user normally answers one identity question: who is the user? An AI agent introduces several more: Which user authorized the work? Which logical agent is acting? Which running workload actually made the call? Which agent execution is involved? Which transaction and purpose does the call belong to? Which service made the current network hop? Putting every answer into a single sub claim creates a dangerous illusion. A l

Installing Minikube on Debian

Installing Minikube on Debian Minikube is a practical way to run a small Kubernetes cluster on a Debian workstation or development instance. This guide installs Minikube with the Docker driver, starts a named profile, runs a temporary deployment, and removes the test resources afterward. This is a local development setup, not a production Kubernetes distribution. The commands target Debian 12 (Bookworm), Debian 13 (Trixie), or a compatible newer Debian release on an x86-64 host. The goal is a
