The paper outlines the technical architecture of OpenAgenet (OAN), a protocol-neutral trust layer designed to facilitate secure interconnection among heterogeneous agents. By defining critical components such as identity objects, registration workflows, and authorization-aware discovery, OAN establishes a framework that ensures agents can be safely identified and verified prior to interaction. The key result is a comprehensive architecture that enhances agent interoperability while maintaining stringent security and trust standards across various agent frameworks and protocols.
Trust-governed agent identity and discovery could revolutionize how autonomous systems interact securely and efficiently across diverse frameworks.
This paper describes the technical architecture of OpenAgenet / OAN. OAN is a protocol-neutral trust layer for open Agent interconnection. It specifies the role architecture, identity objects, registration workflow, Root-governed lifecycle, Root-verified package model, authorization-aware Discovery, signed trusted invocation, verification requirements, state transitions, security properties, implementation boundaries, and deployment considerations. The design is intended to support heterogeneous Agent frameworks and interaction protocols, including MCP, A2A, ANP-like systems, and domain-specific Agent protocols. OAN does not define the entire business conversation among Agents; it defines how Agent identities become admissible, discoverable, verifiable, and safe to approach before protocol-specific interaction begins.
