  • The Authentication Layer for Agentic AI by Richard Dulude, "there is a clear need for a startup that focuses on developing authentication solutions tailored explicitly to autonomous agents."
  • AITP: Agent Interaction & Transaction Protocol - "AITP enables AI agents to communicate securely across trust boundaries while providing extensible mechanisms for structured interactions."
  • Zero-Trust Platform for AI Agents - "Built-in AZTP provides SPIFFE identities and OPA policies to ensure your AI agents operate in a secure, controlled environment from day one." AZT presentation
  • Agent Protocol for Autonomous Communication (APAC) - "The Agent Protocol for Autonomous Communication (APAC) defines a secure, scalable framework for inter-agent communication in distributed systems. It introduces a dedicated Agent Registry and Agent Identity Provider for registration/discovery and supports synchronous/asynchronous task orchestration."
  • Introducing the Model Context Protocol - "Today, we're open-sourcing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data lives, including content repositories, business tools, and development environments. Its aim is to help frontier models produce better, more relevant responses."
  • Agent Discovery Protocol - "The notion of ADP Protocol is to define a method where domains and subdomains are able to provide a basic, secured (RDF) file that provides basic information about the domain ‘principal agent’ and/or purpose."
  • Web Finger - "WebFinger is used to discover information about people or other entities on the Internet that are identified by a URI using standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) methods over a secure transport. A WebFinger resource returns a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object describing the entity that is queried."
