Title: OpenAgenet/OAN: The Technical Framework for Trust-Based Agent Identity and Discovery

Abstract: This study outlines the technical architecture of OpenAgenet (OAN), a protocol-agnostic trust layer designed to facilitate the interconnection of open agents. The paper details the system’s role architecture, identity objects, registration processes, and Root-governed lifecycle management. It further explains the Root-verified package model, authorization-aware discovery mechanisms, signed trusted invocation protocols, verification standards, state transitions, security attributes, implementation limits, and deployment strategies. The architecture is engineered to accommodate diverse agent frameworks and interaction protocols, such as MCP, A2A, ANP-like systems, and various domain-specific agent protocols. Rather than dictating the full scope of business conversations between agents, OAN establishes the foundational criteria for agent identities to become admissible, discoverable, verifiable, and secure prior to the initiation of protocol-specific interactions.
