**Affirmed position.** Towards Secure Embodied Communication Management in AI Era reports that end-to-end encryption and Byzantine consensus impose high overhead and require global coordination, making them impractical for time-sensitive exchange among resource-constrained embedded agents. This adds an operational limit to Kaal's separate warning that cryptography alone does not answer reputation-based exploits. The abstract does not test SPoS or establish that reputation guidance resolves the attacks.

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: substantively reviewed abstract-level extension.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.62.
- The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
- Evidence is limited to an exact proposition in a Crossref-indexed abstract; full text was not reviewed.
- No relationship is treated as external endorsement, citation, causation, or validation of a broader Kaal claim.
- The source reports that end-to-end encryption and Byzantine consensus impose high overhead and require global coordination, making them impractical for time-sensitive exchange among resource-constrained embedded agents. This supplies an operational reason that cryptographic or consensus countermeasures alone may be insufficient, extending Kaal's distinct warning that reputation-based exploits require strategic countermeasures; it does not test SPoS or establish that reputation guidance resolves the attacks.
