随着智能体人工智能系统在分布式、长期运行的基础设施中扩展,安全且符合政策的通信成为核心挑战。在量子时代,当前AI部署所依赖的加密假设可能在其生命周期内失效。本文提出‘量子安全原生’(QSC)设计范式,将量子安全作为智能体系统的根本架构属性,而非后期附加功能。通过运行时自适应安全模型,融合后量子密码学、量子随机数生成与量子密钥分发,保障跨异构云、边缘及组织环境的自主智能体间交互安全。该方案具备可插拔加密能力,受策略驱动,可根据基础设施可用性、监管约束和性能需求动态调整安全级别。QSC引入治理感知编排层,覆盖智能体全生命周期中的会话初始化、协同、工具调用与内存访问等环节,选择并组合链路级保护机制。通过系统级分析与实证评估,证明了其相较传统方法显著降低引入量子安全的运营复杂度与成本。该研究为后量子智能体系统奠定基础,提供可互操作、鲁棒且面向未来的系统设计路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As agentic artificial intelligence systems scale across globally distributed and long lived infrastructures, secure and policy compliant communication becomes a fundamental systems challenge. This challenge grows more serious in the quantum era, where the cryptographic assumptions built into today's AI deployments may not remain valid over their operational lifetime. Here, we introduce quantum secure by construction, or QSC, as a design paradigm that treats quantum secure communication as a core architectural property of agentic AI systems rather than an upgrade added later. We realize QSC through a runtime adaptive security model that combines post quantum cryptography, quantum random number generation, and quantum key distribution to secure interactions among autonomous agents operating across heterogeneous cloud, edge, and inter organizational environments. The approach is cryptographically pluggable and guided by policy, allowing the system to adjust its security posture according to infrastructure availability, regulatory constraints, and performance needs. QSC contributes a governance aware orchestration layer that selects and combines link specific cryptographic protections across the full agent lifecycle, including session bootstrap, inter agent coordination, tool invocation, and memory access. Through system level analysis and empirical evaluation, we examine the trade offs between classical and quantum secure mechanisms and show that QSC can reduce the operational complexity and cost of introducing quantum security into deployed agentic AI systems. These results position QSC as a foundational paradigm for post quantum agentic intelligence and establish a principled pathway for designing globally interoperable, resilient, and future ready intelligent systems.
