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:

  1. Identifier (Cryptographic ID) The root cryptographic identifier used to sign and verify events.

  2. AI-Name (Human-readable) A readable name used for discovery and interaction:

    • .ai for humans and enterprises (accountable principals)

    • .agent for autonomous AI services

  3. 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
