arXiv:2606. 00962v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundational agent interoperability standards, notably the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), have advanced multi-agent system communication, and complementary identity frameworks leveraging W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) provide cryptographic agent authentication.

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).

The paper presents a formal analysis of four agent payment protocols—x402, MPP, ACP, and AP2—using the Tamarin prover. By modeling each protocol’s roles, state, and trust assumptions, the authors verify 86 cases, reproducing 46 known results and uncovering 40 new formal-consistency findings. They further validate ten findings through implementation proofs of concept, SDK/schema witnesses, and executable traces, highlighting the importance of consistent delegated authorization across all protocol stages.

As autonomous AI agents increasingly transact across organizational boundaries, a fundamental trust challenge emerges: how can an agent assess whether an unknown counterpart is trustworthy? The ERC-8004 protocol addresses this challenge with the first permissionless trust layer for AI agent economies, built around three on-chain registries for Identity, Reputation, and Validation.
