Agent Trust Protocol (ATP) 🛡️

License: Apache 2.0 npm: atp-sdk Production Ready Quantum Safe

The world's first quantum-safe security protocol for AI agents — protecting your AI infrastructure from today's threats and tomorrow's quantum computers.

⚡ Get Started in 30 Seconds

npm install atp-sdk
import { Agent } from 'atp-sdk';

const agent = await Agent.create('MyBot');  // Line 1: Create quantum-safe agent
await agent.send('did:atp:other', 'Hello!'); // Line 2: Send secure message
console.log(await agent.getTrustScore('did:atp:other')); // Line 3: Check trust

That's it! Your AI agent now has quantum-safe cryptography, decentralized identity, and trust scoring. Full quickstart →

🎯 Executive Summary

For Decision Makers & Business Leaders

The Problem

AI agents are transforming business operations, but they lack proper security infrastructure. Current cryptographic standards will be broken by quantum computers within 10-15 years, making all existing AI agent communications vulnerable.

The Solution

ATP provides enterprise-grade security for AI agents with:

  • Future-proof security: Quantum-safe cryptography support (ML-DSA + Ed25519 hybrid) for protection against both current and future threats
  • Complete traceability: Every AI agent action is cryptographically signed and auditable
  • Trust management: Know exactly which agents to trust and control their access levels
  • Regulatory compliance-ready: Architecture designed to meet GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, and ISO 27001 requirements

Business Impact

  • Risk Reduction: Eliminate AI agent security vulnerabilities before they're exploited
  • Compliance Ready: Meet current and future regulatory requirements
  • ROI: Prevent potential $4.45M average cost per data breach
  • Competitive Advantage: First-mover advantage with quantum-safe AI infrastructure

Bottom Line

ATP is production-ready with Ed25519 cryptography, with quantum-safe options (ML-DSA) available for future-proofing. Architecture supports enterprise compliance requirements.

🚀 Developer Quickstart

Build secure AI agents in 3 lines of code

⚡ Installation (30 seconds)

npm install atp-sdk

🎯 Your First Secure Agent (2 minutes)

Option 1: Quick Start (No Services Required) This works immediately - no setup needed:

import { Agent } from 'atp-sdk';

// Create quantum-safe agent (works offline!)
const agent = await Agent.create('my-ai-assistant');
console.log('Agent DID:', agent.getDID());
console.log('Quantum-safe:', agent.isQuantumSafe()); // true

Option 2: Full Integration (With ATP Services) For complete functionality with services running:

# Start ATP services (one command)
docker-compose up -d

# Or clone and start locally
git clone https://github.com/agent-trust-protocol/core.git
cd agent-trust-protocol
./start-services.sh

Then use the agent with full features:

import { Agent } from 'atp-sdk';

const agent = await Agent.create('my-ai-assistant');
await agent.initialize(); // Connects to ATP services

// Your agent now has:
// ✅ Decentralized identity (DID)
// ✅ Quantum-safe cryptography (hybrid Ed25519 + ML-DSA)
// ✅ Digital signatures for every action
// ✅ Trust scoring capability

console.log('Agent ID:', agent.did);
console.log('Ready for secure operations!');

📚 Next Steps

🛠️ Full Example: Secure Agent Communication (5 minutes)

const { Agent } = require('atp-sdk');

// Create an AI agent with cryptographic identity
const agent = new Agent('my-ai-assistant');
await agent.initialize();

// Your agent now has:
// ✅ Decentralized identity (DID)
// ✅ Quantum-safe cryptography
// ✅ Digital signatures for every action
// ✅ Trust scoring capability

console.log('Agent ID:', agent.did);
console.log('Ready for secure operations!');

Real Example: Secure Agent Communication (5 minutes)

const { Agent } = require('atp-sdk');

// Create two AI agents
const customerService = new Agent('customer-service-bot');
const paymentProcessor = new Agent('payment-processor');

// Initialize with quantum-safe security
await Promise.all([
  customerService.initialize(),
  paymentProcessor.initialize()
]);

// Establish trust relationship
await customerService.trust(paymentProcessor.did, { 
  level: 0.9,  // High trust
  permissions: ['process_payment', 'refund']
});

// Send cryptographically signed request
const response = await customerService.send(paymentProcessor.did, {
  action: 'process_payment',
  amount: 99.99,
  currency: 'USD',
  customer_id: 'cust_123'
});

// Every action is signed, verified, and auditable
console.log('Transaction verified:', response.verified);
console.log('Signature:', response.signature);

Quick Integration Patterns

🤖 LangChain Integration
const { ATPSecurityWrapper } = require('atp-sdk');
const { OpenAI } = require('langchain/llms/openai');

// Wrap any LangChain agent with ATP security
const llm = new OpenAI({ temperature: 0 });
const secureAgent = new ATPSecurityWrapper(llm, {
  agentName: 'langchain-assistant',
  trustLevel: 'verified'
});

// Now all LLM calls are cryptographically signed
const response = await secureAgent.call("What's the weather?");
🔗 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration
const { MCPServer } = require('atp-sdk/mcp');

// Create quantum-safe MCP server
const server = new MCPServer({
  name: 'secure-mcp-server',
  quantum_safe: true
});

// All MCP tools are now cryptographically protected
server.addTool('database_query', async (params) => {
  // Tool implementation with automatic signature verification
});
Express.js Middleware
const { atpMiddleware } = require('atp-sdk/middleware');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

// Protect all API endpoints with ATP
app.use(atpMiddleware({
  minTrustLevel: 0.7,
  requireSignature: true
}));

app.post('/api/ai-action', (req, res) => {
  // Only verified AI agents can access this endpoint
  console.log('Verified agent:', req.agent.did);
  res.json({ status: 'authorized' });
});

❓ FAQ

What makes ATP "quantum-safe"?

ATP uses ML-DSA (the standardized version of CRYSTALS-Dilithium), a lattice-based cryptographic algorithm from NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography Standard. All new agents automatically use hybrid mode, combining ML-DSA with Ed25519 for backward compatibility, ensuring security today and future-proof protection against quantum computers. This provides protection against both classical attacks and future quantum computing threats.

How does ATP compare to traditional API keys?

API keys can be stolen, shared, or compromised. ATP uses cryptographic signatures where each agent has a unique private key that never leaves their control. Even if someone intercepts communications, they cannot forge signatures or impersonate agents.

What's the performance impact?

ATP adds approximately 44% overhead compared to non-quantum-safe cryptography. In real terms, this means signature verification takes 15ms instead of 10ms. For most applications, this is negligible compared to network latency and LLM inference times.

Can I use ATP with existing AI frameworks?

Yes! ATP provides adapters for popular frameworks like LangChain, AutoGPT, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can also use our SDK to add ATP security to any custom implementation.

Is ATP open source?

Yes, ATP is open source under the Apache 2.0 license. You can use it freely in commercial projects. We also offer enterprise support and managed cloud services for organizations that need additional assistance.

How do I migrate from existing security?

ATP supports gradual migration. You can run ATP alongside existing security systems, gradually moving agents over. Our enterprise team provides migration assistance for large deployments.
