Today&rsquo;s identity and trust frameworks assume an agent can always reach a server to check credentials, an assumption that breaks in much of the world.</p> <p>This project develops a lightweight attestation protocol that lets agents prove where a tool call came from and verify it locally, so trust holds even on intermittent networks. It targets the resource constrained deployments common across Africa and other emerging regions.</p> <p>Full working title: <em>Lightweight Attestation Based Provenance Verification for Autonomous AI Agent Tool Invocation: A Connectivity Resilient Trust Protocol for Resource Constrained AI Deployments.</em></p> <p><strong>Status:</strong> Ongoing research.</p>
