About this streamFormingThe technical side of agent identity.
Read the charter →
The technical side of agent identity. How agents are discovered, authenticated, authorized, and credentialed, and how those identities stay secure over their lifetime. This is not a standardization effort. The focus is what exists today: who is using what, what has real adoption, and what interesting work is emerging.
Discovery and naming
Authentication and authorization for agents
Credentialing and attestation
Identity security and lifecycle: keys, rotation, revocation
Surveying approaches with real adoption
The AID spec, which this stream maintains
While this stream is forming, scope is read broadly. If it plausibly fits the purpose, post it. The scope tightens as the group matures.
Mapping what is actually deployed. If you run agents in production, your identity setup, and where it hurts, is the first thread we want. If something here ever deserves standardization, we help it converge and then refer it out.
Work streams are not standards bodies. The goal is shared understanding: what exists, who uses what, and what holds up in practice. If real alignment emerges across companies, Agent Community can help guide early convergence, and hand mature work to a major standards organization once there is agreement, deployment, and usage. A spec written in a weekend is a conversation starter, not a draft standard.
