Securing Agentic Commerce Through Behavior-Aware Fraud Detection and Cybersecurity for Trusted AI-Agent Payment Authorization

This research introduces the Autonomous Commerce Agent Guard System (ACAGS), a cybersecurity framework combining supervised machine learning, behavioral analytics, agent-specific authorization controls, and explainable AI.

Key points

  • The growing use of autonomous artificial intelligence agents in digital commerce creates new security concerns involving agent impersonation, unauthorized payments, compromised agents, and misuse of delegated authority.
  • The framework was evaluated using synthetic financial transaction data augmented with simulated agent characteristics and five adversarial scenarios.
  • The framework achieved detection rates of 99.77% for abnormal agent behavior, 99.73% for impersonation, and 100% for malicious delegation and authorization-scope violations.
  • The results demonstrate the potential of combining behavioral intelligence and delegated authorization controls to strengthen simulated agentic-commerce payment security, while highlighting the need for validation using real-world transactions.
