New zero-trust architecture secures multi-agent AI communication

This paper introduces a zero-trust architecture designed to secure communication within multi-agent systems (MAS). The proposed framework integrates identity management, transport security, message integrity, and monitoring to counter threats like agent impersonation and data exfiltration. It utilizes decentralized identifiers, verifiable credentials, and a permissioned ledger for authorization, alongside a hybrid post-quantum Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure transport. The architecture also incorporates signed CBOR envelopes for message integrity and zero-knowledge proofs for constraint verification, aiming to provide a robust system for auditing agent interactions.
