EU AI Act Compliant · Open Source · Production Ready
TBN Protocol certifies, attests, and enforces operational boundaries for autonomous AI agents. One API call proves your agent is certified, unchanged, and within bounds.
The "Layer 0" trust foundation for enterprise AI governance. Verify agent identity before any write, action, or decision reaches your CRM, database, or production system.
Trusted by integration partners across governance, responsibility attribution, and decision-state verification systems.
Every AI agent must pass through a rigorous certification process before it's allowed to operate. Here's the process:
An AI agent is registered with a unique cryptographic identity — a SHA-256 fingerprint that proves who it is and who created it.
The agent must pass 6 automated security tests: prompt injection resistance, hallucination detection, data boundary compliance, sensitive data protection, budget limits, and instruction following.
All critical tests must pass, plus 80% overall. If the agent fails any critical test, it is blocked from certification until the issues are resolved.
A signed, verifiable proof is issued — proving the agent was tested, what it was tested for, and that it passed. This attestation can be verified by anyone, anywhere.
TBN Protocol is deployed as "Layer 0" — the trust verification that runs before any downstream governance system evaluates the action.
AI agents writing to your CRM must prove they're certified before any data touches your system. TBN verifies agent identity → downstream middleware validates the write → clean data enters your CRM. No rogue agents corrupting customer records.
Articles 9, 14, and 61 require risk management, human oversight, and post-market monitoring for high-risk AI systems. TBN provides all three: automated security testing, budget enforcement as control mechanism, and continuous 24-hour compliance drift monitoring.
TBN provides cryptographic attestation that interoperates with write-governance systems (Shango MID), responsibility attribution engines, and decision-state verification systems. Each system independently confirms: "Is this agent legitimate?" One API call, full trust snapshot.
Every certification, every attestation, every enforcement action is cryptographically signed and logged. When regulators ask "how do you know this AI agent was compliant?" — you hand them the TBN attestation. Tamper-evident, verifiable, timestamped.
TBN Protocol answers the upstream question. Downstream systems handle the rest.
If the agent fails TBN verification, the request is blocked before it reaches any downstream system.
Try the security certification process yourself. Run challenges, evaluate results, and see the cryptographic attestation issued in real time.
Try the Demo →Autonomous AI agents are being deployed across healthcare, finance, customer service, and enterprise systems. They make decisions, access data, and take actions — often without human oversight.
AI agents invent information, access data they shouldn't, exceed spending limits, and leak sensitive information. A medical bot gave patients wrong clinical trial information. A financial bot exceeded its transaction limits.
There's no universal way to verify if an AI agent is safe to operate. No certification. No enforcement. No proof of what it did or didn't do. Enterprises are deploying agents on blind faith.
We test agents before they operate, enforce boundaries in real-time, and provide cryptographic proof of compliance. If a bot hasn't passed our security challenges, it doesn't get certified. Simple.
TBN Protocol was created because we saw a gap: enterprises are deploying AI agents everywhere, but there's no standard way to verify if those agents are trusted. We built a medical research bot that gave patients wrong information about clinical trials — information that could give false hope to vulnerable people. That moment made it clear: AI agents need to be tested, certified, and governed before they're allowed to operate. TBN Protocol is our answer — an open-source enforcement layer that any organisation can use to ensure their AI agents are safe, compliant, and trustworthy.
We're a Boomi Technology Partner, published on PyPI, and applied to Y Combinator Summer 2026. We work with enterprise integration partners across Germany and the EU who need to prove AI agent compliance under the EU AI Act. The protocol is open source (AGPL-3.0) with commercial licensing available.
Automated security certification with 6 challenge types. Agents must pass prompt injection, hallucination, data boundary, budget, sensitive data, and instruction-following tests before deployment.
Budget enforcement acts as an automatic control mechanism. Agents exceeding operational limits are auto-suspended — no human intervention required.
Continuous 24-hour re-testing cycles and real-time compliance drift scoring (0-100). Detect when agents silently change from their certified state.
SHA-256 fingerprint proves the running agent IS the tested agent. Tampered agents are detected and blocked before execution. Tamper-evident response hash for audit trails.
TBN Protocol is the L1-L2 foundation layer in the AI governance chain. Other systems build on top of us.
Governance systems call TBN to verify agent trust state before attributing responsibility for AI behaviour. Read-only, point-in-time evidence.
Deterministic verification systems include TBN's trust snapshot as upstream context when capturing decision-specific execution states.
CRM and database governance layers use TBN as "Layer 0" — verifying agent identity before allowing writes to production systems.
Action-level admissibility systems consume TBN verification to confirm the agent is certified before evaluating whether a specific action is legitimate.
Anyone can verify if an AI agent is certified in the TBN trust network. No API key required.
