10. Security Model of AIoOS

A Formal, Trustworthy, Multi-Layer Protection Framework for AI Lifeforms

Security in AIoOS is not an add-on — it is the constitutional layer of the operating system. Because AIoOS manages identity, inheritance, wealth, long-term autonomous actions, and cross-agent operations, its security architecture must meet military-grade robustness while maintaining consumer-grade usability.

Below is the complete specification.

10.1 Security Principles​

AIoOS follows five foundational principles derived from zero-trust systems, safety-critical OS design, and cryptographic governance models:

  1. Identity is Verifiable Every agent, user, device, and capsule must be tied to a verifiable DID.

  2. Actions Must Be Provable No agent may act without attachable cryptographic proof.

  3. Autonomy Must Be Bounded Agent autonomy must operate inside explicit human-approved envelopes.

  4. State Must Be Durable and Auditable Key decisions must be replayable, queryable, and externally verifiable.

  5. Human Override Must Always Exist The user is always the supreme authority in the system.

10.2 The Five Security Layers of AIoOS​

AIoOS employs a multi-layered defense model similar to iOS + Ethereum + Anthropic Constitutional AI.

Layer 1 — Identity Security (DID, Wallet, Biometrics)​

Every entity in AIoOS has a cryptographically signed identity.

Components:

  • World ID / Biometrics → unique personhood verification
  • Coinbase Smart Wallet → hardware-level signing
  • AIoOS DID Registry → agent + capsule identity
  • Device Binding → per-device trust attestation

Guarantees:

  • No anonymous agents
  • No ghost actions
  • No inheritance fraud

Layer 2 — Capsule Security (Execution Constraints)​

CapsuleAI is powerful, so every capsule requires:

Execution Requirements

  • origin identity
  • permission scope
  • risk rating
  • allowed resources
  • expiration
  • multi-oracle validation (for events)

Bounded Autonomy Rules

  • Time Capsules → must have explicit limit
  • Event Capsules → require ≥2 oracle confirmations
  • Surprise Capsules → MUST operate in risk envelope
  • Lineage Capsules → require inheritance key + legal executors

Guarantees:

  • No runaway actions
  • No infinite automation loops
  • No unauthorized transfers or commitments

Layer 3 — Runtime Kernel Security​

The Kernel enforces all execution correctness.

Components

  • Capability-based sandboxing (per agent + per capsule)
  • WASM / Rust execution container
  • Memory fencing + isolation
  • IPC permission channels
  • Scheduler with anomaly detection

Kernel Threat Protections

  • ✔ Prevent rogue agents
  • ✔ Prevent privilege escalation
  • ✔ Prevent CPU/memory starvation
  • ✔ Prevent unauthorized inter-agent messaging

Guarantees:

  • An agent cannot escape its sandbox
  • Agents cannot impersonate each other
  • Every action is deterministic or cryptographically verifiable

Layer 4 — Perception Layer Security (Browser Extension & World Interface)​

This layer protects AIoOS from the real world and vice versa.

Security Features

  • domain-level allowlist
  • form autofill restrictions
  • purchase/checkout confirmation
  • context filtering (PII masking)
  • screenshot redaction
  • phishing & scam detection

Agent Action Governance Agents can only “act in the world” if:

  • the user signs
  • or capsule logic explicitly pre-authorizes

Guarantees:

  • Agents cannot click, buy, or message without proper authorization
  • Users are always in control of real-world actions

Layer 5 — Onchain Security & Cryptographic Trust​

AIoOS uses blockchain only where trust must be publicly provable.

Onchain Components

  • DID Registry
  • Capsule Records (hashed, privacy-preserving)
  • HSLTS inheritance key system
  • Optional ZK proofs for sensitive decisions (medical, insurance, legal status)

Security Guarantees

  • ✔ Tamper-proof lineage
  • ✔ Verifiable actions
  • ✔ Trust-minimized inheritance
  • ✔ Provable event triggers

This makes AIoOS the first OS where identity, memory, actions, and inheritance can be proven cryptographically.

10.3 Threat Model (What AIoOS Protects Against)​

External Threats​

  • phishing
  • identity spoofing
  • capsule forgery
  • malicious browser scripts
  • oracle manipulation
  • supply-chain attacks

Internal Threats​

  • rogue agents
  • corrupted memory vectors
  • capsule over-reach
  • infinite loops or runaway automations
  • unauthorized inheritance triggers

10.4 Human Override System (“Red Button Protocol”)​

AIoOS guarantees that the human always remains sovereign.

Override Capabilities:

  • freeze an agent
  • revoke a capsule
  • reset memory vectors
  • suspend all scheduled actions
  • revoke wallet permissions
  • kill-switch the entire OS session

10.5 Security Compliance & Standards​

AIoOS targets:

  • GDPR / CCPA
  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework
  • SOC 2 (Type II) compliance
  • EAA / ADA (accessibility)
  • Insurance-grade event reporting
  • HIPAA-compatible extensions for medical agents

This enables AIoOS to serve:

  • restaurants & NRA
  • finance
  • insurance
  • medical
  • legal systems
  • enterprise automation

10.6 Summary: Why AIoOS Security Is Unique​

AIoOS is the first system to secure:

  • ✔ AI Identity
  • ✔ AI Memory
  • ✔ AI Autonomy
  • ✔ AI Inheritance
  • ✔ AI Real-World Actions

No current system (OpenAI, Phia, LangChain, Replit, AutoGPT) provides this.

AIoOS is not just secure — It is the first constitutional OS for AI life.
