Stateless Hash-Based Signatures for AI Model Weight Integrity
Enterprises deploying AI agents with Model Context Protocol (MCP) must test cryptographic safeguards in realistic cloud sandboxes. Simulating post‑quantum algorithms such as Kyber and Dilithium on high‑entropy instances reveals significant CPU and latency overhead, especially under heavy agent loads. Proper isolation, container sidecars, and automated key‑rotation under 50 ms are essential to avoid production failures. Detailed simulation logs also provide the evidence needed for SOC 2, GDPR and other compliance audits.
