Title: OpenAgenet (OAN): Establishing Open Infrastructure for Secure Agent Interconnection

Source: arXiv:2606.03161v1 | Classification: Cross-disciplinary Announcement

Abstract

OpenAgenet, commonly referred to as OAN, introduces an open infrastructure framework dedicated to facilitating trusted connections between autonomous agents. This initiative tackles a critical challenge that emerges as agents transition from siloed applications into expansive, multi-operator networks. In such environments, an agent must possess a mechanism to validate several security parameters before it can safely locate, choose, and interact with another agent. These parameters include verifying identity provenance, assessing governance status, confirming discovery authorization, ensuring data freshness, and establishing pre-connection trust evidence.

Functioning as a protocol-agnostic trust layer, OAN does not aim to supplant existing agent interaction protocols, tool-specific protocols, model orchestration frameworks, or application-level workflows. Rather, it enhances these systems by offering Root-governed identity admission, onboarding support via Registrars, Root-verified package publication, discovery mechanisms aware of authorization constraints, and signed, trusted invocation capabilities.

This paper outlines the foundational motivation behind OAN, detailing its architectural design, operational roles, and governance structure. It further explores OAN’s relationship with established standards such as MCP, A2A, and ANP, alongside various deployment and cooperation models. Additionally, the study covers the implementation of a blockchain-backed authorization bulletin, reports on prototype development and performance metrics, and presents a strategic roadmap for the project.
