Securing agentic commerce: helping AI Agents transact with Visa and Mastercard

What this post added

This post introduces a significant advancement in website security by detailing Cloudflare's partnership with Visa and Mastercard to secure agentic commerce. It leverages the previously introduced Web Bot Auth and HTTP Message Signatures to create a framework (Trusted Agent Protocol and Agent Pay) for cryptographically authenticating AI shopping agents. This enables merchants to distinguish legitimate agents from bots, link agents to consumer identities, and manage transaction expectations, thereby enhancing security and trust in automated commerce.
