The Linux Foundation has announced the forthcoming launch of the Agent Name Service (ANS) \u2013 according to a release, \u201ca new open standard designed to provide trusted identity, verification, and discovery for AI agents operating across the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cANS is built on the existing Domain Name System (DNS) and establishes a federated framework for securely identifying autonomous agents at internet scale without relying on proprietary registries or centralized control,\u201d it says. The system anchors agent identity directly to DNS, the \u201cglobally distributed infrastructure that already processes more than 100 million queries per second worldwide.\u201d It enables verification of user provenance, and detects whether an agent\u2019s code and operational history remain authentic and unchanged.<\/p>\n

The framework also supports decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs), allowing organizations to integrate existing identity systems into a unified model.<\/p>\n

Swarming agents need verified communication protocols<\/h2>\n

The move by the open source organization shows concern spreading over how to over govern the emerging agentic web. Authentication, trust, permissions and interoperability are all critical elements in an ecosystem that is evolving at machine speed. The release cites data from the World Economic Forum, which says 82 percent of executives plan to adopt AI agents within the next one to three years \u2013 despite \u201cwidespread uncertainty around how to securely evaluate and manage autonomous systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAI agents will increasingly operate across enterprises, platforms and digital services, which makes trusted identity infrastructure a foundational requirement,\u201d says Jim Zemlin, CEO of Linux Foundation. \u201cBy building on DNS and open standards, ANS creates a scalable and interoperable framework for verified agent communication across the global digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vineeth Sai Narajala is a co-author of ANS. He says that when…<\/p>\n
