Implement cryptographic scope chain verification in LangChain integration
File: packages/agentmesh-integrations/langchain-agentmesh/langchain_agentmesh/trust.py
What
There is an explicit TODO: "A full cryptographic verification of the scope chain is needed." This means the LangChain integration currently accepts trust delegation claims without verifying the cryptographic chain.
Why
Without scope chain verification, a malicious agent could claim delegated permissions it was never granted. This is a trust escalation vulnerability.
How
- Read the existing trust verification in
packages/agent-mesh/src/agentmesh/trust/
- Implement
verify_scope_chain() that walks the delegation chain and verifies each Ed25519 signature
- Each link in the chain should include: delegator DID, delegatee DID, scoped permissions, expiry, signature
- Reject chains with: expired links, broken signatures, missing permissions, circular delegations
- Add tests with valid chains, broken chains, expired chains
Reference
- Trust model:
packages/agent-mesh/src/agentmesh/trust/identity.py
- Delegation chain:
packages/agent-mesh/src/agentmesh/trust/delegation.py
