Zero trust isn't a product feature here. It is the foundation.
Every connection authenticated. Every access authorised. Every decision logged. From the first packet to the last billing entry — zero trust enforced at every layer.
No implicit trust. Anywhere.
AravaliStack assumes the opposite of perimeter security: no connection — internal or external — is trusted until explicitly verified at every layer.
- Verify Identity
- Every service, every user, every request
- Enforce Policy
- Access permitted only by explicit authorisation
- Log Everything
- Every decision recorded, tamper-evident
One identity fabric. All of your platform.
A unified identity fabric spanning your entire infrastructure — powered by Keycloak (SAML/OIDC/SSO), Ory Hydra (OAuth2 server), Ory Keto (fine-grained permission engine), and Ory Kratos (identity management). The same stack enterprises like Société Générale and Mistral run — on your hardware.
- Single sign-on across all platform layers — one login, everything accessible
- Fine-grained RBAC: per-tenant, per-resource, per-action — Ory Keto enforced
- Machine identities (SPIFFE/SPIRE) issued for every service — zero static credentials
- Directory sync (SCIM) from corporate AD/LDAP — user lifecycle managed automatically
- All identity decisions logged to immutable, cryptographically-signed audit trail
- SAML 2.0, OIDC, LDAP federation, social login, MFA, self-service user management — drop-in auth UI your applications embed directly.
- OAuth2 & OpenID Connect server. Issues tokens, manages consent flows, and handles client credentials for service-to-service auth — fully standards-compliant.
- Google Zanzibar-inspired permission engine. Fine-grained RBAC with per-tenant, per-resource, per-action granularity — evaluated in microseconds, at scale.
- 🏛️ HashiCorp Vault
- Dynamic secrets, certificate authority, encryption-as-a-service. No static credentials anywhere in the platform — every secret is time-limited and audited.
Your AI agents need identities too.
As autonomous AI agents become part of enterprise workflows, they need to authenticate, authorise, and be audited — just like human users. AravaliStack extends its identity fabric to non-human actors: services, agents, and automated pipelines all get verifiable identities.
Stytch, WorkOS, and Okta all offer M2M auth — as cloud services. Your data on their servers. AravaliStack gives you the same capability, with the same developer experience, entirely on your own hardware. Your agents' authentication events never leave your perimeter.
🤖 AI Agent Authentication
Every AI agent — whether it's a LangChain pipeline, an AutoGen workflow, or a custom inference service — is issued a SPIFFE SVID. Access to data, APIs, and compute is scoped to exactly what the agent needs, nothing more.
🔗 Service-to-Service Auth
Ory Hydra client credentials flow for service mesh auth. No API keys passed in environment variables. No shared secrets. Every service call carries a short-lived, verifiable token.
📋 Full Agent Audit Trail
Every action taken by an AI agent is logged to the same immutable audit trail as human actions. When your regulator asks "what did the model do?" — you have a verifiable, tamper-evident answer.
🚦 Intelligent Rate Limiting
Per-agent token budgets, request rate limits, and circuit breakers — enforced at the API Gateway layer. Protect your infrastructure from runaway agent loops or compromised agent credentials.
- Why this matters for regulated enterprises
Security policy as version-controlled code
All security policies are declared as code, reviewed in pull requests, and enforced automatically. Policy changes have the same review process as application code changes.
Policy Review in Git
Every policy change goes through a pull request. Security team reviews. Audit trail created automatically. No shadow policy changes.
Automated Enforcement
Approved policies deploy automatically. The platform ensures policy and reality stay in sync — and alerts on any drift.
