TKeeper has been named Platinum Winner for Cybersecurity Innovation of the Year at Juniper Research’s 2026 Future Digital Awards.
TKeeper lets teams make authority an enforceable part of their system architecture. The executing system requires cryptographic proof for the exact action, and TKeeper produces that proof only after the identity’s policy and required approvals accept the request.
Making authorization enforceable.
A machine can hold valid credentials and request an action outside its remit. TKeeper gives that machine a governed cryptographic identity with defined authorities. Each authority describes an action and the conditions under which it may be authorized. TKeeper interprets the request, evaluates its effects against policy and checks any required approvals before issuing proof.
The execution path carries that decision into the system that creates the effect. The receiving service verifies the expected identity and the exact authorized action, then checks freshness and replay requirements. Changing the approved payload invalidates its proof. The integration must make this verification mandatory on every path that can perform the protected action.
In threshold mode, each participating peer independently validates the same request. With a 2-of-3 quorum, one compromised peer cannot authorize an action rejected by the honest peers. Cryptographic key shares keep the authority distributed; the normal protocol does not reconstruct the private key.
Digital assets and agentic payments.
TKeeper gives businesses built-in support for digital-asset transactions and agentic payment mandates. Teams can bring these capabilities into their products and operations with the same enforceable authority model governing what each machine may do.
For Digital Assets, businesses can automate transfers across Bitcoin, EVM networks, TRON, XRP and Solana. They define which transfers an identity may authorize and when additional approval is required. TKeeper interprets the actual transaction and checks its effects against those rules before producing the proof required to use that identity’s funds.
For Agentic Payments, support for Google AP2 and Mastercard Verifiable Intent lets businesses authorize purchases by AI agents. Policy can restrict merchants and payment methods, set spending limits and require approval for particular requests. The resulting payment credential carries the authorized mandate for the recipient to verify.
AI agents can request these operations through MCP. A business decides which actions can proceed automatically and which need review; TKeeper enforces those decisions outside the model. With proof required at execution, the agent’s request must satisfy the same controls as any other machine action. Businesses can delegate work to agents while retaining control over how company funds are used.
How entries are assessed.
The award belongs to Juniper Research’s Identity & Security programme. Its published evaluation criteria include product innovation, features and benefits, product partnerships, certification and compliance, and future business prospects.
A Juniper Research analyst panel reviews entries and draws up a shortlist. Shortlisted entries are then scored and verified by its experts before the judging panel confirms the winners. The official awards page ↗ describes this process.
Earlier this year, TKeeper received a Silver Award for AI Agent Identity Security at the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
Make authorization part of execution.
Bring us a workflow where machines can move funds or change your systems. We can help define its authorities, make the executing service require cryptographic proof and test the complete path in a non-production pilot.
