The paper proposes a scalable trust discovery architecture for the Internet of Agents, featuring a three‑layer hierarchical design: Agent Root for registry governance, Agent Registry for registration and metadata, and Agent Resolver for capability discovery. It introduces a registry‑suffix‑anchored composite identity scheme and a dual‑certificate, multi‑level authentication mechanism to strengthen agent identity trust. Prototype evaluation shows low latency (58 ms registration, 25 ms discovery) and high throughput (over 19,000 registrations and 29,000 discoveries per second).

arXiv:2606. 12474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) solve complex tasks through inter-agent collaboration, but their communication-driven nature also allows security risks to spread across agents and trigger system-wide failures.

arXiv:2608. 03499v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in persistent personal-agent frameworks are making human-centered agent networks realistic deployment targets: each user can be served by an AI agent that acts on the user's behalf, maintains state, and communicates with other agents through social and task relations.

AgentKernel proposes a trust‑native operating system for AI agents, arguing that current governance layers are insufficient because they share the same process trust boundary as the agents. The OS introduces a mandatory enforcement boundary organized into four pillars—Identity, Perception, Cognition, and Execution—each adapting classical OS security principles to address semantic‑level failures such as prompt injection, memory poisoning, and tool misuse. By wrapping the agent lifecycle in this structured, non‑bypassable framework, AgentKernel aims to provide a unified security layer that can enforce identity, input mediation, memory governance, and execution control across the entire agent lifecycle.
