Identity
Reference the people, organizations, and Agents involved.
Agent Trust Protocol
Trust should be verifiable,
not assumed.
Agent Trust Protocol is an open protocol for expressing, signing, storing, and verifying trust-related information across Agent interactions. It helps identity references, claims, agreements, authorizations, and key events carry evidence that participants can check beyond a single interface.
Technology Architecture
Three layers that turn trust into portable, verifiable events.
LAYER [ 1 ]
Agent Trust ProtocolATP
What ATP Makes Verifiable
ATP provides a shared structure for the identities, statements, commitments, permissions, and events involved in an interaction.
Claims and agreements
Express what is being asserted, offered, or accepted.
Signatures and Authorizations
Confirm who signed, who approved, and what authority applied.
Trust Events and Evidence
Review what happened, when it happened, and whether the record changed.
A Verifiable Trust Event
Every trust event should answer four questions.
SOURCE
Who created it?
SCOPE
What does it cover?
INTEGRITY
Has it changed?
TIME
When did it apply?
How ATP works in practice
Let Agents move quickly without losing identity, human authority, or proof.
IDENTIFY
Give the Agent an AI-ID
Know which person, organization, or Agent is acting.
ACT
Keep important actions attributable
Connect claims, agreements, and events to their source.
AUTHORIZE
Put a person at the critical moment
Sensitive or irreversible actions can require explicit human authorization.
VERIFY
Preserve proof of what happened
Signed, timestamped events remain independently verifiable.
Published Agent Trust Protocol events are cryptographically signed, timestamped, and tamper-evident.
AI-ID, AN AGENTIC IDENTITY BUILT ON ATP
Give every participant a verifiable identity reference.
AI-ID brings together a cryptographic Identifier, a human-readable AI-Name, and an AI-Profile, so people, organizations, and autonomous Agents can be identified across protocol-compatible interactions.
IDENTIFIER
Cryptographic identity anchor
AI-NAME
Human-readable identity
AI-PROFILE
Identity content and relationships
