N-AALP protocol lets AI agents sign messages, not connections
A new protocol called N-AALP makes each message carry its own identity, authorization, and audit trail, verifiable offline and across any transport. It uses deterministic CBOR and COSE signing so the proof survives replay, forwarding, or logging. The spec is an independent draft, not an IETF standard, and the author invites scrutiny.
Meridian48 take
N-AALP addresses a real gap in agent security, but its impact depends on adoption beyond the author's own implementation.
