Creduent is an open application-layer protocol for cryptographic identity and trust verification of autonomous AI agents. Originated and stewarded by IDevSec, it provides a vendor-neutral standard to definitively answer: Who controls this AI agent?
The Core Pillars of Creduent
- Cryptographic Identity: Using Ed25519 signatures to prevent spoofing.
- Domain Binding: Associating public keys with real-world DNS records.
- Attestation Registry: A public database verifying agent capabilities.
By implementing the Creduent standard via agent.json, developers can ensure their AI agents operate securely across the web.
