SAM is a zero-config, zero-trust P2P overlay that lets autonomous agents discover and call each other's MCP tools across cloud, on-prem, laptop and edge environments, without exposing a single internal endpoint to the public internet. Identity flows from OIDC into Biscuit capability tokens, so nodes authorize every request offline under a strict default-deny model.\n\nThe post [Meet SAM (Sovereign Agent Mesh): A Zero-Config, Zero-Trust P2P Network for AI Agents](https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/08/18/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents/) appeared first on [MarkTechPost](https://www.marktechpost.com).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents", "canonical_source": "https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/08/18/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents/", "published_at": "2026-08-18 13:29:10+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-18 13:44:05.935573+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-research"], "entities": ["Google", "SAM (Sovereign Agent Mesh)", "Apache-2.0", "MCP", "OIDC", "Biscuit"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/meet-sam-sovereign-agent-mesh-a-zero-config-zero-trust-p2p-network-for-ai-agents.jsonld"}}
