Description
rustaceans, we've completely open sourced our APH rust engine and servers!APH is a Agent Per Human notarization protocol, that acts like remote guardrails for when your agents are working with agents you don't own. It allows both parties to share public keys that they can verify each other are working in good faith against public servers.APH by Squillo is the missing piece of the A2A and AP2 families from Google, built with the same pedigree as the web but for the agentic web.It's designed to work with existing agentic protocols and future ones, but is the cornerstone for the agentic web and true agentic commerce.Now, get blistering speed, memory safety, and security for you and your Agents.Don't do rust? no worries, it's ready to go with wasm/wasi and we've installed a claude and codec packs to make it easy to implement.Now, an agent can responsibly bid on eBay, negotiate your medical bills, buy a house, trade on the stock market, all with the remote guardrails you can independently verify without leaking secrets.

Could you build this?
Partial While an agent proxy server can be mocked quickly, implementing a cryptographic agent-to-agent notarization engine (APH) with decentralized identity verification, public key exchange, and tamper-evident audit logs requires robust cryptographic protocol engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture demands a high-performance Rust server implementing asymmetric cryptography (Ed25519/ECDSA), automated mutual TLS/handshakes between autonomous agent runtimes, and verifiable credential chains. The hard part is formal cryptographic protocol design to guarantee verifiable provenance and prevent replay or man-in-the-middle attacks across distributed agent swarms.
