Post-Quantum Cryptographic Agility in MCP Resource Governance

Securing Model Context Protocol (MCP) deployments requires a four-pillar framework adapted for the quantum era. The pillars cover: context-aware identity and access management for service-to-service authentication, post-quantum encryption using lattice-based cryptography to counter 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks, network micro-segmentation to prevent 'Puppet Attacks' where AI models are manipulated into misusing authorized tools, and real-time behavioral monitoring for compliance and anomaly detection. Together these pillars address the unique threat surface of AI model deployments where proprietary training data and model context are high-value targets.
