ANP Protocol Security
AegisGate enforces security for the Agent Network Protocol (ANP), securing multi-agent network topologies and service discovery.
Threat Landscape
ANP enables dynamic agent networks with service discovery and mesh communication:
- Rogue agent injection: Unauthorized agents joining the network
- Service discovery poisoning: Advertising malicious services to agents
- Network topology manipulation: Redirecting agent communication paths
- Mesh communication eavesdropping: Intercepting messages in the agent mesh
AegisGate Enforcement
| Layer | Protection | Detection Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Network admission | Agent identity verification | Full verification |
| Service discovery | Signed service advertisements | 100% (adversarial suite) |
| Mesh integrity | Topology validation, anomaly detection | 83.1% coverage |
| Rate limiting | Per-agent, per-service | Configurable |
