Fingerprint, a US‑based device intelligence platform, launched Authorized AI Agent Detection to separate permitted AI agents from bad bots using Web Bot Auth - HTTP message signatures that let agents cryptographically prove who they are. Fingerprint says it now detects the highest number of AI agents on the market; for registered agents, verification is “with 100% certainty.” (thepaypers.com)
How it works: Agents sign requests with HTTP Message Signatures and a Signature-Agent header; sites verify against the agent’s public‑key directory per active IETF drafts. In short, identity over heuristics. (docs.fingerprint.com)

chatgpt_agent, bedrock_agentcore, browserbase_agent, manus_agent, and anchor_browser in its Bot Directory, so customers can treat them as “good bots” in policy. (docs.fingerprint.com)Get daily insider tech news delivered to your inbox every weekday morning.
