Security Model
Production-grade security architecture with defense-in-depth approach
AUTONEX is designed with security as the foundational requirement. Every architectural decision prioritizes safety, auditability, and institutional-grade protection for autonomous agent operations.
Threat Model
AUTONEX protects against the following attack vectors:
Compromised Agent Keys
- Agents cannot drain funds beyond policy limits
- All actions require policy approval before execution
- Emergency halt can revoke agent permissions instantly
- Multi-signature requirements for critical operations
Policy Bypass Attempts
- Policy enforcement happens on-chain, not in client code
- CPI restrictions prevent unauthorized cross-program calls
- All execution paths are validated before transaction submission
- Immutable policy rules stored in program accounts
Malicious Intents
- Intent validation before policy evaluation
- Simulation required for high-risk operations
- Rate limiting and quota management per agent
- Anomaly detection for suspicious patterns
Security Features
On-Chain Policy Enforcement
Policies are enforced by Solana program instructions, not application logic. This ensures that policy rules cannot be bypassed through client manipulation.
CPI Restrictions
Agents can only invoke whitelisted programs. This prevents attackers from using compromised agents to interact with unauthorized protocols.
Deterministic Execution
All executions are deterministic and reproducible. This enables independent verification and simplifies audit processes.
Immutable Receipts
Every execution generates an on-chain receipt with complete audit trail: intent details, policy evaluation, execution path, and final outcome.
Emergency Controls
Automatic halt when anomalies detected
Governance can halt all agent execution
Malicious agents lose staked collateral
Audit Readiness
AUTONEX is designed for professional security audits:
Best Practices
- 1.Always use simulation before executing high-value intents
- 2.Configure multiple policy layers for defense in depth
- 3.Regularly review agent execution logs and receipts
- 4.Maintain appropriate stake levels for agent reputation
- 5.Test policies in devnet before mainnet deployment
- 6.Enable monitoring and alerting for suspicious activity
