Zero-Knowledge Predicate Proofs Between AI Agents: A Measured, Cross-Protocol Gateway and the Source-Integrity Gap
A new framework exposes the gap between zero-knowledge predicate proofs and actual source integrity in multi-agent AI systems, warning that current trust models let agents fabricate compliance claims unchecked.

arXiv:2608.30083v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent AI platforms move quickly from staging to production, but the way agents establish trust remains rudimentary: an agent either transmits raw data to a peer or accepts that peer's natural-language self-report that a value complies with policy. The first over-shares; the second is unverifiable and is exactly the channel prompt injection attacks. Prevailing responses emphasise identity, visibility, and post-hoc detection, and recent propos
Editorial Analysis
As enterprises adopt multi-agent AI workflows, unverified inter-agent trust claims could become a new class of compliance and security risk, especially under the EU AI Act's transparency requirements.
