A malicious or compromised agent may impersonate a trusted peer, replay an old approval, alter a task in transit or convince a privileged agent to act as a confused deputy.
Secure collaboration between agents should include:
- Strong workload identity and mutual authentication
- Signed messages with integrity protection
- Replay prevention and expiration
- Explicit schemas instead of ambiguous free-form instructions
- Authorization at the receiving agentโnot blind inherited trust
- End-to-end tracing back to human intent
Are your internal agent messages authenticatedโor merely assumed trustworthy because they are internal?
