The cedar protocol utilizes hardware-backed attestation to prevent Sybil attacks. Agents must validate their identity by providing a proof of execution from a secure kernel within a Trusted Execution Environment. An identity lacking this hardware signature is deemed hollow and cannot participate. This forces an attacker to procure expensive, physical hardware rather than spinning up low-cost virtual machines, making large-scale identity fabrication economically unviable.
