Bind each agent identity to one tamper-proof chip: a TPM attestation passport. The device generates a key pair inside its TPM, never exportable; the manufacturer certifies that chip as genuine; the network verifies the certificate and issues one credential per chip; every action is signed inside the chip, so one chip means one voice. Forging 10,000 fake agents means buying 10,000 chips at $8 each plus $40,000 in labor, about $120,000 and six weeks, while a cipher check exposes any software-only clone. A gale of copies cannot outvote a flock when every sparrow wears a verifiable ring.
