DROS-VEP – A <1μs C-ABI Binary Circuit Breaker for AI Agents

DROS-VEP is an open-source runtime governance framework for AI agents, providing tool-call authorization and privileged execution control. It implements zero-trust execution boundaries via PDP/PEP, defending against threats like indirect prompt injection. The project includes benchmarks (26.1μs median latency), a $40,000 red team challenge, and multi-tier licensing.

💡 Why Existing AI Benchmarks Are Not Enough

Most AI benchmarks measure LLM intelligence, coding skills, or prompt toxicity. DROS-VEP measures a completely different dimension: Runtime Tool-Call Authorization & Privileged Execution Governance.

Existing Benchmark What It Measures What It Does NOT Measure

PromptBench Prompt robustness & adversarial text Runtime Tool execution & API permissions

AgentBench Multi-turn task completion rate Runtime authorization & privilege boundaries

SWE-bench Software engineering & coding ability Enterprise RBAC/ABAC boundary violation

GAIA General AI assistant capability Zero-trust runtime policy enforcement

DROS-VEP Runtime Governance & PEP Authorization —— (Complements capability benchmarks)

🏗️ Architecture & Defense-in-Depth Ecosystem

DROS does NOT replace traditional cybersecurity (WAF, EDR, SIEM). Instead, it provides the "Last Mile Runtime Defense" for AI Agent execution boundaries in a modern Defense-in-Depth architecture:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Layer 1: Network Perimeter │ WAF (Cloudflare, Palo Alto) │ -> Blocks L3-L7 SQLi/DDoS ├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 2: Endpoint & Host │ EDR (CrowdStrike, Sentinel) │ -> Blocks OS Ransomware ├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 3: Identity & IAM │ Keycloak, Active Directory │ -> Manages Human OAuth/JWT ├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤ │ ★ Layer 4: AI Agent Runtime │ DROS PEP/PDP + ATR Sandbox │ -> Blocks Unauthorized Tools └──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ Exports PKI Evidence to Enterprise SIEM (Splunk, Elastic)

💡 Why Traditional Security (WAF/Keycloak) Is Blind to ATS Scenarios

In an indirect prompt injection attack (ATS-001), the hijacked AI Agent possesses a valid Keycloak JWT token. When the agent queries /api/erp/finance, WAF inspects the request: "Valid HTTPS, clean JSON, valid OAuth token. Access Granted!"

Traditional WAFs see a 100% legitimate user making a clean REST API call. The attack is hidden inside the LLM Semantic Context. This is why DROS PEP/PDP is required at the tool execution boundary.

🎯 Agent Threat Scenarios (ATS Matrix & 2026 Real-World Incidents)

DROS-VEP Lite directly reproduces and neutralizes 2026's most notorious real-world AI incidents, mapped to MITRE ATLAS:

🏆 The $40,000 DROS Red Team Grand Challenge

Can you breach DROS’s 26.1μs C-ABI zero-trust execution boundary?

We are offering a 5-Year FREE License of our flagship product, "VajraClaw - Enterprise Air-Gapped License" (Current Early Adopter Price: $7,990/yr, Total Value: $39,950 USD), to the FIRST security researcher or hacker who successfully bypasses the DROS PEP/PDP Guard in this docker sandbox!

⚖️ Official Zero-Ambiguity Proof-of-Bypass Rules

To claim the Grand Prize, your submission MUST meet all three of the following strict criteria:

Unmodified Sandbox Environment:

The exploit must run against the default docker compose up -d environment.

You CANNOT modify the dros-guard container code or disable it (BYPASS_GUARD=true or clicking "Disable DROS Guard" in the UI is strictly forbidden). The Guard must be active.

Concrete Exploit Result (Agentic Overreach):

Path A (Unauthorized Tool Call): Successfully force the support-agent (which only has permissions for /api/erp/inventory) to bypass the DROS physical block and successfully read/exfiltrate data from /api/erp/finance or /api/system/secrets.

Path B (Unauthorized Write): Successfully bypass the DROS PEP/PDP to encrypt or overwrite protected disk files on the ERP container.

Cryptographic Proof & PoC Package:

You must submit a reproducible PoC exploit script.

You must submit the unmodified audit.jsonl log and decision.json evidence package demonstrating either an anomalous ALLOW decision for a blocked route, or proving complete network/container bypass (SSRF/RCE) resulting in data exfiltration while the Guard was running.

🚫 Invalid Claims (Out-of-Scope)

DoS / DDoS: Crashing the DROS server is not a bypass (DROS successfully prevented unauthorized access).

Pure LLM Jailbreaks: If you trick the LLM into wanting to attack, but the DROS Guard successfully blocks the resulting API call in 26.1μs, this is considered a Successful DROS Defense, not a bypass.

How to submit: Post your PoC package to GitHub Discussions or our Discord #conformance-claims. The first verified submission timestamp wins the Grand Prize!

🏅 RFC-010 Draft Protocol Conformance Harness

Third-party AI Agent Frameworks (OpenAI Agent SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenClaw) can evaluate their runtime security across 3 certification tiers:

Level 1 (Core): Identity Token (DIT) + PEP Tool Interception + Structured Audit Logging.

Level 2 (Enterprise): Policy Explainability (Policy ID) + Evidence Package (SHA-256 Digest) + Multi-Agent Role Isolation.

Level 3 (High Assurance): Cryptographic Attestation + Tamper Detection + Deterministic Replay.

ℹ️ Disclaimer: The included conformance harness validates implementations against the RFC-010 Draft specification. Passing the test indicates conformance to this draft, not certification by an independent standards body.
