Crate aep_platform

Expand description

§aep-platform

Platform-hosted Agent identity provisioning, delegated signing, lifecycle, and verification support for the Agent Enrollment Protocol.

Use this crate when operating an AEP Platform that holds Agent signing keys. Agent applications that consume a Platform use aep-agent and provide its IdentityProvider boundary instead.

§Install

[dependencies]
aep-platform = "0.2"

§Responsibilities

Platform implements the transport-independent behavior behind:

/.well-known/aep-platform discovery;
Service-scoped Agent DID provisioning and public DID-document generation;
authorized identity listing and lifecycle management;
delegated client-assertion signing with completed or pending responses;
idempotent provisioning, signing, and hosted verification; and
optional hosted verification with assertion-replay protection.

The application owns HTTP routing and caller authentication. It supplies implementations of Authorizer, IdentityStore, KeyStore, ServiceDidResolver, and, when hosted verification is enabled, ReplayStore. Every private operation calls Authorizer and fails closed. DID-document retrieval remains public so Services can verify Agent assertions locally.

MemoryIdentityStore, MemoryIdempotencyStore, and MemoryReplayStore support tests and prototypes. Production deployments provide durable implementations and keep private key material behind KeyStore; this crate never exports private keys.

Framework integration and runnable Platform examples are developed separately from the protocol engine so that the public API remains independent of Axum, Tower, Tokio, and application storage.

The aep-platform-ephemeral example supplies each required boundary, provisions an identity, renders its DID document, and signs an assertion. Its in-memory stores and fixed example authorization policy are not production defaults.
