The Linux Foundation adopts a verifiable identity standard for AI agents
· Aster editorial team
AI-generated imageThe Linux Foundation welcomed Agent Name Service as an open project for naming, verifying, and discovering AI agents through existing DNS and certificate infrastructure. The specification covers registration, versioning, DNS publication, public-log auditing, integrity monitoring, and agent-to-agent authentication. Eleven organizations support the project, including Cisco, Cloudflare, DigiCert, GoDaddy, Salesforce, and OWASP.
Why it matters
A common identity system could help distinguish authorized agents from impersonators and enable interoperability without relying on a single provider.
For the technical crowd
The full specification consists of seven documents and will be governed by the project's technical committee. AGNTCY Agent Directory Service and ANS Finder already provide early support.
