RuVector Edge

The most advanced distributed AI swarm communication framework in Rust.

RuVector Edge enables secure, intelligent coordination between AI agents with post-quantum cryptography, neural pattern matching, and distributed consensus - all in a single, zero-dependency-hell package that compiles to native and WebAssembly.

Why RuVector Edge?

Traditional multi-agent systems suffer from:

• Insecure communication - Agents trust unsigned messages
• No learning persistence - Patterns lost between sessions
• Centralized bottlenecks - Single coordinator failure kills the swarm
• Bandwidth waste - Full vectors transferred unnecessarily

RuVector Edge solves all of these with a unified, production-ready framework.

        None,  // Auto-generate swarm key
        vec!["executor".to_string()],
    );

    // Connect and register peer
    swarm.connect().await?;

    let peer = IdentityManager::new();

Usage Examples

HNSW Vector Search

use ruvector_edge::p2p::HnswIndex;

// Create index with custom parameters
let mut index = HnswIndex::with_params(16, 200);

// Insert agent embeddings
index.insert("rust-agent", vec![0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0]);
index.insert("python-agent", vec![0.1, 0.9, 0.0, 0.0]);
index.insert("ml-agent", vec![0.0, 0.5, 0.9, 0.0]);

// Find nearest agents for a task
let query = vec![0.8, 0.2, 0.1, 0.0];
let results = index.search(&query, 3);
// Returns: [("rust-agent", 0.14), ("python-agent", 0.78), ...]

Post-Quantum Signatures

use ruvector_edge::p2p::{HybridKeyPair, HybridPublicKey};

// Generate hybrid keypair (Ed25519 + Dilithium-style)
let keypair = HybridKeyPair::generate();

// Sign message with quantum-resistant signature
let message = b"Critical task assignment";
let signature = keypair.sign(message);

// Verify (both classical and PQ components)
let public_key = keypair.public_key_bytes();
assert!(HybridKeyPair::verify(&public_key, message, &signature));

Spiking Neural Network

use ruvector_edge::p2p::{SpikingNetwork, LIFNeuron};

// Create network for temporal pattern recognition
let mut network = SpikingNetwork::new(
    4,   // input neurons
    8,   // hidden neurons
    2,   // output neurons
);

// Process spike train
let input = vec![true, false, true, false];
let output = network.forward(&input);

// Apply STDP learning
network.stdp_update(&input, &output, 0.01);

Raft Consensus

use ruvector_edge::p2p::{RaftNode, RaftState};

// Create cluster nodes
let members = vec!["node-1".into(), "node-2".into(), "node-3".into()];
let mut node = RaftNode::new("node-1", members);

// Start election when timeout
let vote_request = node.start_election();

// Handle responses and become leader
if node.handle_vote_response(&response) {
    // We're the leader - append entries
    node.append_entry(b"task:assign:agent-002".to_vec());
}

Semantic Task Matching

use ruvector_edge::p2p::SemanticTaskMatcher;

let mut matcher = SemanticTaskMatcher::new();

// Register agents with capability descriptions
matcher.register_agent("rust-dev", "compile rust cargo build test unsafe");
matcher.register_agent("ml-eng", "python pytorch tensorflow train model");
matcher.register_agent("web-dev", "javascript react html css frontend");

// Find best agent for a task
let (agent, score) = matcher.match_agent("build rust library with cargo").unwrap();
// Returns: ("rust-dev", 0.87)

Adaptive Compression

use ruvector_edge::p2p::{AdaptiveCompressor, NetworkCondition};

let mut compressor = AdaptiveCompressor::new();

// Update network metrics
compressor.update_metrics(50.0, 25.0);  // 50 Mbps, 25ms latency

// Compress based on conditions
let data = vec![0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5];
let compressed = compressor.compress(&data);

match compressor.condition() {
    NetworkCondition::Excellent => println!("Raw transfer"),
    NetworkCondition::Good => println!("4x scalar quantization"),
    NetworkCondition::Poor => println!("32x binary quantization"),
    NetworkCondition::Critical => println!("Maximum compression"),

Security Model

Zero-Trust Identity Chain

1. Member Registration
   └── Ed25519 signature covers: agent_id + pubkeys + capabilities + timestamp

2. Registry Verification
   └── Verify signature → Check X25519 key → Validate capabilities → Store

3. Message Authentication
   └── Resolve sender from registry (NEVER trust envelope key)
   └── Verify with registry key → Check nonce/counter → Decrypt

4. Task Receipt Binding
   └── Signature covers ALL fields: module, input, output, hashes, timing

Key Derivation

Session Key = HKDF-SHA256(
    IKM: X25519(our_private, peer_public),
    Salt: SHA256(sorted(pubkey_a || pubkey_b)),
    Info: "p2p-swarm-v2:{swarm_id}"
)
