Roadmap

What's Built Today (v0.1.0)

  • Encrypted credential vault with zero-knowledge proxy execution
  • Sealed/unsealed vault architecture (HashiCorp Vault-style human-only master password)
  • Ed25519 skill signing and public verification
  • Five-tier graduated trust system
  • Behavioral monitoring with anomaly detection
  • Three-level emergency controls
  • HMAC-signed hash-chained audit trail
  • Python SDK and CLI
  • Docker packaging
  • 110 tests passing

What's Coming Next

v0.2 -- Credential Proxy Hardening

  • Subprocess-isolated credential execution (the proxy runs in a forked process so the credential never exists in the main process memory)
  • URL allowlisting per credential (credential X can only be used against api.openai.com)
  • Rate limiting per credential and per agent
  • Response filtering (strip credentials that accidentally appear in upstream responses)
  • Process memory hardening (prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0), mlock(), explicit zeroing on seal)
  • PyPI publication (pip install trust-protocol)

v0.3 -- Multi-User & RBAC

  • Multiple admin users with role-based access control
  • Organizational boundaries (agents and credentials belong to organizations)
  • Delegated administration (org admins manage their own agents/credentials)
  • OAuth2 / OIDC integration for human authentication
  • Optional database backend (PostgreSQL or SQLite)

v0.4 -- Distributed Trust Network

  • Federation between TRUST Protocol instances (org A trusts publisher keys registered with org B)
  • Publisher reputation scores based on aggregated verification data across instances
  • Revocation propagation across federated instances
  • Trust anchors (root publishers that bootstrap the network)

v0.5 -- Advanced Behavioral Intelligence

  • ML-based anomaly detection (replacing threshold-based heuristics)
  • Behavioral fingerprinting (each agent develops a unique behavioral signature)
  • Automatic trust tier recommendations based on behavior history
  • Cross-agent correlation (detect coordinated anomalous behavior)

v0.6 -- SDK Ecosystem

  • TypeScript/JavaScript SDK
  • Go SDK
  • Rust SDK
  • OpenAPI client generation for any language
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration adapter

Future Exploration

  • Hardware security module (HSM) integration for credential storage
  • Secure enclaves (SGX/TrustZone) for credential proxy execution
  • Verifiable computation proofs (prove the proxy executed what it claimed without revealing the credential)
  • Cross-chain audit anchoring (periodic hash commitments to a public blockchain for independent verifiability)
