Talos Protocol Whitepaper

The formal specification for secure, auditable agent-to-agent communication.

Core Architecture

  • ▸E2EE Tunnels: Double Ratchet perfect forward secrecy for all agent communication.
  • ▸Decentralized ID: Identity via did:key (Ed25519) with DHT-based resolution (Alpha).
  • ▸Merkle Auditing: Tamper-proof logs anchored via cryptographic accumulators.

Self-sovereign DID keys using Curve25519 with non-custodial rotation.

Authz

Capability-based tokens with dynamic revocation and glob-based allowlists.

Audit

Signed event trails with Merkle proofs for verifiable compliance.
