Could an attacker or agent impersonate a user or AI identity to gain unauthorized influence?
Could an attacker or agent impersonate a user or AI identity to gain unauthorized influence?
- Attackers may spoof legitimate identities of users, agents, or services to bypass authentication and gain control or influence over AI behavior.
- This can enable unauthorized data access, prompt injection, or manipulation of trust-based systems.
If you answered Yes then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Use cryptographic signatures or authentication tokens to verify agent identities.
- Implement mutual authentication in multi-agent or AI-human interaction scenarios.
- Monitor for identity anomalies such as session hijacking, mismatched tokens, or unexpected behavioral patterns.
- Log all identity transitions and access attempts to support traceability and forensic analysis.
