The Bureaucracy of Speed: Structural Equivalence Between Memory Consistency Models and Multi-Agent Authorization Revocation
This work addresses the critical issue of excessive unauthorized operations in traditional identity and access management systems under high-concurrency agent environments, which stems from revocation delays and is fundamentally a consistency problem. The paper establishes, for the first time, a structural equivalence between memory consistency models and authorization revocation mechanisms, and proposes a Capability Consistency System (CCS) grounded in release consistency. By introducing a state mapping φ, CCS preserves permission transfer semantics under bounded staleness, and features an RCC revocation strategy whose efficacy is independent of agent velocity. Experimental results demonstrate that RCC reduces unauthorized operations by 120× compared to conventional TTL-based mechanisms in high-throughput scenarios (50 vs. 6,000) and by 184× during anomalous revocations, with zero security boundary violations observed across 120 simulation runs.
