Identity & Names

AI-ID: Cryptographic Identity

An AI-ID is the cryptographic root of identity in ATP.

It:

• Owns keys

• Signs events

• Serves as the ultimate verification anchor

AI-IDs are portable across platforms and independent of any service.

AI-Name: Human-Readable Identity

AI-Names provide recognizability without weakening cryptographic guarantees.

• .ai → humans and enterprises

• .agent → autonomous agents

AI-Names:

• Resolve to AI-IDs

• Support subdomains for delegation

• Are revocable and renewable

Identity Composition

An ATP identity consists of:

1. AI-ID (cryptographic root)

2. AI-Name (human-readable reference)

3. AI-Profile (claims, metadata, relationships)

All three are linked through signed events on the Data Plane.
