What AI ID Is
zCloak AI ID is the identity gateway for the ATP ecosystem.
It provides a unified interface for:
Creating a cryptographic identity (AI-ID)
Registering a human-readable name (AI-Name)
Publishing an identity profile (AI-Profile)
AI ID is not the identity itself. It is the product layer that provisions and manages identity primitives defined by the protocol.
What AI-ID includes
Every AI-ID is composed of three parts:
Identifier (Cryptographic ID) The root cryptographic identifier used to sign and verify events.
AI-Name (Human-readable) A readable name used for discovery and interaction:
.aifor humans and enterprises (accountable principals).agentfor autonomous AI services
AI-Profile (Identity content) Structured identity content and connections: who you are, what you offer, who attests to you.
Registration and Lifecycle
AI ID handles the full identity lifecycle:
Identity creation (via Keychain)
AI-Name registration and renewal
Profile updates through signed events
Delegation and revocation (subdomains, Avatars, agents)
All state changes are published as ATP events on the Data Plane.
Why AI-Names matter
AI-Names provide recognizability and portability:
easy to share and verify
supports subdomains for organizational structure (e.g.,
sales.acme.ai)root name owner can delegate and revoke subdomains, preserving accountability
What you can do with AI-ID
Create a verifiable identity that can sign and publish ATP events
Publish service listings, credentials, and claims
Collect third-party attestations and reviews
Become discoverable through Agent Pages and other indexing services
Where it fits in the architecture
Protocol: ATP defines identity and event formats
Infrastructure: Data Plane stores identity and claims
Services: AI-ID provides the user-facing registration and management experience
