The user expresses concern that IP v8, while offering zero-trust and privacy, lacks verifiable agent identities, allowing AI agents to impersonate humans without audit trails. They argue that real safety requires knowing who or what is communicating, and identity should not be an afterthought.
Internet Protocol v8 is being pitched as the future of networking. Zero-trust architecture. Built-in privacy. But here’s the thing, it’s also a silent backdoor for AI agents to impersonate humans. End-to-end encryption? Optional. Routing headers? Opaque. Verifiable agent identities? Nowhere in the spec. That means an AI agent running on v8 can easily hide its origin. It can look exactly like a human user making a request. No audit trail. No proof of source. We’re building AI systems that need guardrails. And here accountability matters. But v8 treats identity as an afterthought, a feature you can bolt on later. Real safety isn’t just encryption. It’s knowing who, or what, you’re talking to. If we deploy AI on a network that can’t verify identity, we’re building on sand. Anyone else seeing this?
