A Scalable Trust Discovery Architecture for the Internet of Agents

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).

Mandato: Protocol-Level Enforcement of Digitally Signed Mandates on AI Agent Actions with Cryptographically Chained Audit Trails

arXiv:2608. 14074v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly act on external systems through standardized tool-calling protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP), yet no infrastructure layer constrains their actions to what a principal has verifiably authorized: authorization logic lives in application code, is neither signed nor independently auditable, and the resulting logs lack evidentiary value.
