Aip Identity

· v1.6.0

Medium Risk

"Digital identity, authentication, and trust for AI agents. Verify who an agent is, prove your own identity, sign skills to prove authorship, send encrypted messages, and build trust networks with vouches. Use when an agent needs identity verification, authentication, trust scoring, skill signing, provenance checking, secure messaging, or reputation management. Covers: agent identity, agent authentication, agent verification, trust graphs, encrypted agent-to-agent messaging, code signing, skill provenance, decentralized identifiers (DIDs), Ed25519 signatures, and credential rotation."

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Hardcoded secrets detected in: scripts/aip.py high

Mitigation: Remove hardcoded secrets. Use environment variables instead.

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_BINARY_INSTALL high

Mitigation: Avoid instructing agents to install arbitrary binaries; bundle dependencies or use sandboxed environments

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_BASE64_AND_NETWORK critical

Mitigation: Review base64 usage, especially if combined with network calls
