OpenAgenet / OAN White Paper: Open Infrastructure for Trusted Agent Interconnection
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.03161v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: OpenAgenet, abbreviated as OAN, is an open infrastructure project for trusted Agent interconnection. It addresses a problem that becomes visible when Agents move from isolated applications into open, multi-operator networks: before an Agent can safely discover, select, and invoke another Agent, it needs a way to verify identity provenance, governance state, discovery authorization, freshness, and pre-connection trust evidence. OAN is designed as a protocol-neutral trust layer. It does not replace Agent interaction protocols, tool protoc
