Delegation Ancestry Attestation for Multi-Agent Systems (Defensive Research)
lowAgentProtocol VulnerabilityThis is an academic research paper proposing a defensive attestation scheme to help verify which deployer produced given output bytes and whether cross-agent delegation edges were properly authorized in multi-agent AI systems. It is not describing an active exploit or vulnerability being exploited in the wild; rather it presents cryptographic designs (signed linked list, Merkle-chain, co-signed DAG) to detect unauthorized delegation claims, including after child-key compromise. The severity is low because the content is a proposed mitigation/verification framework, not a threat report.
