Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue
#1about 4 minutes
Understanding the current state of AI security challenges
AI systems often have poor judgment, and the security domain is playing catch-up with the rapid evolution of AI agents and protocols.
#2about 3 minutes
Focusing on key OWASP Top 10 risks for developers
Application developers should focus on mitigating sensitive information disclosure and excessive agency, as these have a large attack surface under their control.
#3about 3 minutes
Why traditional RBAC fails for RAG systems
Traditional role-based access control (RBAC) is insufficient for RAG systems due to dynamic context and complex data relationships, necessitating a fine-grained authorization (FGA) approach.
#4about 5 minutes
Implementing OpenFGA to secure RAG data access
OpenFGA uses authorization models and relationship tuples to filter documents from a vector store, ensuring the LLM only receives data the user is permitted to see.
#5about 2 minutes
Mitigating excessive agency with zero trust tool access
Control an AI agent's tool access at the code level using zero trust principles, applying standard RBAC for simple cases and FGA for granular, user-dependent permissions.
#6about 1 minute
Securing third-party API calls using OAuth federation
Use OAuth 2.0 federation to allow AI agents to call third-party APIs on a user's behalf without handling raw credentials, using a broker to manage access tokens.
#7about 1 minute
Adding human guardrails with asynchronous authorization
Implement human-in-the-loop approvals for high-stakes actions by using the CIBA flow to send asynchronous authorization requests to users for confirmation.
#8about 5 minutes
Demoing step-up authorization and system architecture
A live demo showcases step-up authorization where an agent requests user consent before accessing sensitive data, followed by an overview of the application's architecture.
