OPEN STANDARD · NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION

The Identity Layer for
Every AI Agent on the Internet

AITF is building the open cryptographic identity standard for AI agents, GPUs, and AI models — the way DNS works for websites, AITF works for agents.

MISSION

Why Agent Identity Matters

AI agents are taking autonomous actions — moving money, making decisions, executing code — with no cryptographic proof of who they are or what they are authorised to do. AITF exists to fix this, permanently, as an open standard.

🔐

Cryptographic Identity

Every AI agent and GPU deserves a post-quantum signed cryptographic passport. Not a username. Not an API key. A verifiable, unforgeable identity bound to the agent itself.

📋

Immutable Accountability

Every action taken by an agent must be signed, timestamped, and logged immutably. EU AI Act Article 12 is law today. Accountability infrastructure must be open and universal.

🌐

Open Standard

Agent identity cannot be owned by a single company. AITF develops and maintains an open standard — free to implement, free to audit, governed by the community.

⚛️

Post-Quantum Ready

The AITF standard uses CRYSTALS-Dilithium3 and Kyber768 — NIST-selected post-quantum algorithms. Agent identities issued today will remain valid in the quantum era.

🏛️

Regulatory Alignment

The standard maps directly to EU AI Act Article 12, NIST AI RMF, SOC2, and ISO 27001. Compliance is not an afterthought — it is baked into the protocol layer.

🤝

Community Governed

AITF is governed by its members — security companies, AI infrastructure providers, universities, and enterprises. No single entity controls the standard.

How Agent Identity Works

The AITF standard defines a cryptographic identity protocol for AI agents, GPUs, and AI models.

  • Agent Passport

    A post-quantum signed X.509 certificate bound to each AI agent. Contains identity, capability scope, issuing organisation, and validity period.

  • Device Attestation

    X.509 certificate issuance for GPU and hardware devices. TPM 2.0 ready. Hardware-bound signing with SOC2-ready audit logs.

  • Threshold CA

    Distributed certificate authority using MPC — n-of-m quorum required to sign. No single private key. No single point of compromise.

  • Audit Protocol

    Every agent action signed with its passport and written to an immutable audit log. Directly maps to EU AI Act Article 12 requirements.

  • Policy Enforcement

    OPA-compatible policy language for defining agent capability scopes. Runtime enforcement before every action.

# Issue an agent passport
from computeid_sdk import AgentPassport

passport = AgentPassport.issue(
  name="trading-agent-001",
  org="Acme Corp",
  capabilities=["read", "execute"],
  algorithm="CRYSTALS-Dilithium3"
)

# Verify an agent before action
result = AgentPassport.verify(
  passport_id="AGE-001",
  action="execute_trade"
)

# result.valid == True
# result.signed_by == "CRYSTALS-Dilithium3"
# result.audit_logged == True
REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION LIVE IN PRODUCTION

GOVERNANCE

Building the Global Standard

AITF follows a phased governance model — from foundation-led open source to a fully community-governed, decentralised standard body.

PHASE 1 · NOW

Foundation Launch

Open source release. Reference implementation live. Community building. First enterprise adopters. EU AI Act compliance framework.

PHASE 2 · 2026

IETF RFC Submission

Draft RFC for "Agent Identity and Capability Attestation". Academic partnership with KU Leuven COSIC. Working group formation.

PHASE 3 · 2027

IEEE Working Group

Join or establish IEEE working group for agent identity standards. Regulatory alignment across EU, US, and APAC jurisdictions.

PHASE 4 · 2028

Decentralised Governance

Distributed node operators. Community-governed CA. Every major agent framework uses AITF by default. The standard becomes invisible infrastructure.

Join the Foundation

Whether you are an enterprise deploying AI agents, a security researcher, a framework developer, or a regulator — AITF needs your participation to become the universal standard.
