DROS-6P: A Unified Deterministic Runtime Governance Architecture Closing the Six Fundamental Trust Boundaries of Enterprise AI Agents / DROS-6P:閉環企業級AI Agent 六大信任邊界之 確定性執行期治理架構
Abstract
Abstract—As Autonomous AI Agents transition from conversational prototypes to enterprise-grade execution agents, currentsecurity architectures face a fundamental breakdown. Enterprise deployment demands unequivocal answers to six core trust questions: Principal (who does the agent represent?), Authorization (what is it allowed to do?), Tool/Action Bound (which API calls are safe?), Policy Gate (how are high-risk actions controlled?), Audit Log (how are actions traced immutably?), and Expiry/Revocation (how is authorization revoked instantly?). Existing enterprise solutions address at best one or two boundaries: IAM frameworks resolve identity but fail at granular tool execution; prompt guardrails handle basic content filtering but lack real-time authorization or cryptographic auditability; SIEM platforms store logs post-hoc without real-time interception capabilities. This paper introduces DROS-6P, a unified, deterministic runtime governance kernel designed to enforce all six fundamental trust boundaries within a single C-ABI and eBPF in-band execution layer. To prevent the security control plane from becoming a throughput bottleneck or a single point of failure under high-frequency system calls (Syscalls) generated by enterprise, third-party, or malicious agents—thereby mitigating self-induced Denial-of-Service (DDoS) degradation—runtime governance requires microsecondlevel evaluation capability. Empirical benchmark evaluations demonstrate that the DROS-6P in-band kernel achieves an average decision latency of approximately 26.1 μs. Specifically, DROS-6P enforces: (1) Principal via 3-tier PKI-signed DROS Identity Tokens (DIT); (2) Authorization via Capability Bitmaps mapping roles to deterministic execution vectors; (3) Tool/Action Bound via in-band C-ABI interceptors at the FFI boundary; (4) Policy Gate via dynamic data redaction, Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) suspension, and ZKP-Lite zero-knowledge proofs; (5) Audit Log via tamper-evident SHA-256 Merkle Hash Chains and Ed25519 signatures; and (6) Expiry/Revocation via O(1) Read-Copy-Update (RCU) atomic pointer swaps providing instant HTTP 403 enforcement. We validate DROS-6P across six heterogeneous domain tracks (Carbon DPP, Fintech AML, HIPAA Healthcare, Government Proxy Services, Inclusive Migrant Finance, and RBA Supply Chain Compliance), providing a fully reproducible testbed with 100% automated test assertions passed (0.004s), demonstrating that unified physical-layer governance is necessary and sufficient for safe enterprise AI agent deployment.Abstract—隨著自主AI Agent(自主智能體)從對話式原型走向企業級執行場景,傳統資安架構正面臨根本性的崩潰。企業部署AI Agent 時,必須對六大核心信任問題給出明確答案:Principal(Agent 代表誰?)、Authorization(被授權做什麼?)、Tool/Action Bound(哪些API 呼叫安全?)、Policy Gate(高風險動作如何控制?)、Audit Log(行動如何不可篡改地追溯?)以及Expiry/Revocation(授權何時失效且如何即時停止?)。然而,現有的企業安全處方最多只能回應一至兩個邊界:IAM 系統解決了身份認證,卻對動態Tool 呼叫束手無策;Prompt 防火牆(Guardrails)僅能處理文字層提示,缺乏執行期動態授權與密碼學稽核能力;SIEM 平台僅提供事後日誌紀錄,缺乏帶內即時攔截與防衛能力。本論文提出DROS-6P ——旨在單一C-ABI與 eBPF 帶內執行層中,同時強制執行這六大信任邊界之確定性執行期治理微內核。為確保安全控制面本身不會在企業內部、外部或惡意Agent 產生高頻系統呼叫(Syscalls)時成為效能瓶頸或單點故障點,進而防範自我引發的服務阻斷(Self-induced DDoS)與系統衰退,執行期治理必須具備「微秒級(μs)」的評估能力。實證基準測試顯示,DROS-6P 帶內微內核在測試環境中達到約26.1 μs 的平均決策延遲。具體而言,DROS-6P 強制執行:(1) Principal:透過3 階PKI 簽章之DROS 身份標籤(DIT);(2) Authorization:透過將角色精確映射至執行向量的確定性Capability Bitmaps;(3) Tool/Action Bound:透過FFI 邊界處的帶內C-ABI 攔截器;(4) Policy Gate:透過動態資料遮蔽(Redaction)、人工懸停審查(HITL) 與ZKP-Lite 零知識證明;(5) Audit Log:透過不可篡改的SHA-256 Merkle 雜湊鏈與Ed25519 數位簽章;以及(6) Expiry/Revocation:透過Read-Copy-Update (RCU) 原子指針交換實現O(1) 常數時間動態撤銷與秒級HTTP 403 阻斷。我們提供完全可重現的本地測試環境(test_verification_suite.py),100% 通過自動化斷言測試(耗時0.004s),並在六個異質產業賽道中驗證了DROS-6P,證明統合物理層治理是企業安全部署AI Agent 的充要條件。
