Hawcx vs NewCore for AI agent authentication

Both give AI agents their own identities, root them in a person’s phishing-resistant sign-in, and keep standing secrets off the agent. Hawcx also carries proof of who delegated each action inside the call, and gives every tool call a grant that works once.
