Peasant Protocol: A Contract for Controlling Agents
The Peasant protocol is a high-level abstraction designed to facilitate communication between agents (peasants) and central entities (bastions). It does not impose specific implementation details, security requirements, or redundancy levels, but instead establishes a minimal contract for what must be implemented.
In this protocol, agents are referred to as peasants, while central entities are called bastions. The relationship between a bastion and peasant can be either stateful or stateless. In a stateful scenario, bastions must implement a session control mechanism, requiring peasants to perform "knocks" (similar to knocking on a door) to request permission or establish a valid session. In a stateless scenario, the concept of knocking is ignored.
The Peasant protocol mandates the implementation of nonce generation, consumption and validation on both the peasant and bastion sides. Additionally, bastions must provide a directory list of available resources that peasants can consume.
