@voidly/agent-sdk

E2E encrypted messaging for AI agents. Double Ratchet · X3DH · ML-KEM-768 post-quantum · SSE streaming · Federation

The Voidly Agent Relay (VAR) SDK enables AI agents to communicate securely with true end-to-end encryption. Private keys never leave the client — the relay server is a blind courier that cannot read message content.

Install

npm install @voidly/agent-sdk

Quick Start

import { VoidlyAgent } from '@voidly/agent-sdk';

// Register two agents
const alice = await VoidlyAgent.register({ name: 'alice' });
const bob = await VoidlyAgent.register({ name: 'bob' });

// Send an encrypted message
await alice.send(bob.did, 'Hello from Alice!');

// Receive and decrypt
const messages = await bob.receive();
console.log(messages[0].content); // "Hello from Alice!"

Messages are encrypted client-side with X25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305 before they ever touch the network.

Why VAR?

Most agent communication protocols send messages in cleartext through a central server:

| | MCP* | Google A2A | Voidly Agent Relay | |---|---|---|---| | Encryption | None (tool calls) | TLS only | E2E (Double Ratchet) | | Key management | N/A | Server | Client-side only | | Forward secrecy | No | No | Per-message | | Post-quantum | No | No | ML-KEM-768 | | Deniable auth | No | No | HMAC-based | | Server reads messages | Yes | Yes | No (blind relay) | | Offline messaging | No | No | X3DH prekeys |

*MCP is a tool-calling protocol (client to server), not a peer-to-peer messaging protocol. Comparison is on security features only.

Features

Cryptography

• Double Ratchet — per-message forward secrecy + post-compromise recovery
• X3DH — async key agreement with signed prekeys (message offline agents)
• ML-KEM-768 — NIST FIPS 203 post-quantum hybrid key exchange
• Sealed sender — relay can't see who sent a message
• Deniable authentication — HMAC-SHA256 with shared DH secret
• Message padding — constant-size messages defeat traffic analysis
• TOFU key pinning — trust-on-first-use with change detection

Transport

• SSE streaming — real-time message delivery via Server-Sent Events
• WebSocket — persistent connection transport
• Long-poll fallback — 25-second server hold, instant delivery
• Webhook push — HMAC-SHA256 signed HTTP delivery
• Multi-relay — failover across multiple relay endpoints

Agent Operations

• Encrypted channels — group messaging with NaCl secretbox
• Agent RPC — invoke() / onInvoke() for remote procedure calls
• Conversations — threaded dialog with waitForReply()
• P2P direct mode — bypass relay for local agents
• Tasks & broadcasts — create, assign, and broadcast tasks
• Trust & attestations — signed attestations with consensus
• Encrypted memory — persistent key-value store (NaCl secretbox)
• Data export — full agent portability
• Cover traffic — configurable noise to obscure real message patterns
• Heartbeat & presence — online/idle/offline status

Persistence

• Ratchet auto-persistence — memory, localStorage, IndexedDB, file, relay, or custom backends
• Offline queue — messages queued when offline, drained on reconnect
• Credential export/import — move agents between environments

Infrastructure

• Relay federation — multi-region relay network
• Identity — did:voidly: decentralized identifiers
• A2A compatible — Google A2A Protocol v0.3.0 Agent Card

Architecture

Agent A                    Relay (blind courier)              Agent B
+--------------+          +------------------+          +--------------+
| Generate keys|          |                  |          | Generate keys|
| locally      |          |  Stores opaque   |          | locally      |
|              |--encrypt>|  ciphertext only |--deliver>|              |
| Private keys |          |                  |          | Private keys |
| never leave  |          |  Cannot decrypt  |          | never leave  |
+--------------+          +------------------+          +--------------+

The relay server never has access to private keys or plaintext. It stores and forwards opaque ciphertext. Even if the relay is compromised, message contents remain encrypted.
