Abstract
Techniques are described for securing hierarchical vision-language-action robot planning by converting planned robot actions into cryptographically protected tokens bound to an execution context. A planner generates an ordered token sequence, and each token is sealed using post-quantum cryptography and authenticated encryption to bind the token to context, sequence, and freshness constraints. At execution, a verified executor satisfies remote attestation requirements before token release and verification. Verified tokens are then permitted to condition low-level robot control, providing zero-trust, quantum-resilient execution with step-level auditability and improved safety.
