MAGIQ: Post-Quantum Multi-Agent AI Governance

Policy definition and enforcement framework for multi-agent AI systems using quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols with provable security guarantees.

Paper

arXiv: 2605.06933v1 — MAGIQ: A Post-Quantum Multi-Agentic AI Governance System with Provable Security by Sepideh Avizeh, Tushin Mallick, Alina Oprea, Cristina Nita-Rotaru, Reihaneh Safavi-Naini (May 2026).

Core Capabilities

1. Policy Definition: Rich communication and access-control policy budgets for agent-to-agent sessions, including global one-to-many budgets.
2. Post-Quantum Enforcement: Policies enforced using PQC primitives (NIST-recommended, replacing RSA/DH/ECC by 2035).
3. Session-Based Enforcement: Agent-to-agent and one-to-many session policies.
4. Accountability: Message attribution ensuring agents are accountable to users.

Security Model

• Formal correctness and security proofs using the Universal Composability (UC) framework
• Computation and communication overhead evaluated against SAGA baseline
• First post-quantum-secure solution for agentic AI systems

When to Use

• Designing secure multi-agent AI architectures
• Implementing post-quantum cryptography for agent communication
• Building accountability mechanisms for agentic systems
• Comparing governance frameworks (SAGA vs MAGIQ)
