Enterprise Secrets Management for Non-Human Identities

Securely broker, audit, and revoke API access for autonomous agents without exposing master credentials. Built with Zero-Knowledge Architecture.

THE GATEWAY
Client-Side Encryption
Master secrets are encrypted in the browser (PBKDF2) before being stored as opaque Phantom Keys.
THE MCP LAYER
Mint Scoped Tokens
Issue revocable, unique identities restricted by domain whitelisting and Time-To-Live.
THE VAULT
Isolated RAM Execution
Secrets are decrypted for milliseconds in volatile RAM and instantly wiped via zeroMemory.
IMMUTABLE LOGS
Zero-Knowledge Audit
Every interaction is captured in immutable logs with agent-level attribution.

Shadow AI is already inside your stack.

AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and AutoGPT need credentials to be useful. Without a secure layer to manage that access, developers improvise — and improvised credential sharing is a breach waiting to happen.

Raw keys in AI tool configs

Developers paste their OpenAI or Stripe keys directly into agent system prompts, MCP server configs, or workflow builders. These keys don't expire, aren't scoped, and you don't know they're there.

Zero visibility into agent actions

When an agent makes an API call using your credentials, there's no record — not in your logs, not in your billing dashboard, not anywhere you control. You find out something went wrong after the fact.

No kill switch

Once a raw API key is shared with a third-party AI tool, revoking it means rotating your master credential everywhere it's used — a painful, risky operation you'll delay until it's too late.

This isn't a hypothetical. It's the default behavior of every AI agent on the market today. The tools aren't malicious — they just weren't built with credential governance in mind. Ephos is the layer that adds that governance, without slowing anyone down.

The Complete NHI Security Platform

Traditional secret managers weren't built for autonomous code. Ephos provides a comprehensive suite to secure the agentic runtime.

Identity Broker

Enforce granular permissions at scale. Issue highly scoped Ephos Tokens bound to specific agents, abstracting master credentials completely.

const token = await ephos.broker.create({
  identity: "agent-github-pr-reviewer",
  scope: ["github.repos.read"],
  ttl: "1h"
});

Cryptographic Rotation

Terminate access instantly. Revoke specific agent tokens without needing to rotate your underlying Master Identity Secrets.

Asynchronous Auditing

Non-blocking, immutable forensic logs. Audit trails are batched and processed entirely out-of-band via queue architectures to ensure zero proxy latency.

Eliminate Shadow AI

Prevent developers from hardcoding API keys in agent scripts. By routing all AI requests through the Ephos Identity Broker, you gain full observability and control over every non-human interaction, neutralizing Shadow AI risks instantly.

Threat Model Comparison

Why Ephos is objectively safer for agents than legacy vaults (like Infisical or Akeyless).

Attack scenario
Risk
Mitigation
AI tool stores your raw key
Agent config, system prompt, or third-party tool persists your credential
High
Tools receive only a scoped Ephos Token. Your raw credential never reaches them. Even if they persist the token, it's useless outside its whitelisted domains and can be revoked instantly.
Ephos database is compromised
Attacker exfiltrates the full Ephos database
High
Every stored credential is an AES-256-GCM encrypted blob. Without the client-derived key, brute force against 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations is computationally infeasible. The attacker gets nothing usable.
Agent is tricked via prompt injection
Malicious content in an agent's context manipulates it to exfiltrate credentials
High
The agent never possesses a decryptable credential — only a token. Domain enforcement blocks requests to any non-whitelisted host, even if the agent is coerced into making them. The secret stays in the enclave.
Token leaks in logs or source code
An Ephos Token is accidentally committed or exposed
Medium
Tokens are scoped to specific APIs and domains — a leaked token can't access anything beyond its allowlist. Revoke it from the dashboard in seconds without touching your master credential.
