Standards
The standards register
Twenty-eight standards on the register. Three families form the published core: the Core family (IAASO-1001…1601) covering identity, trust, security, certification, evidence, accreditation and cryptographic agility; the Trusted Agent Exchange family (IAASO-2001…2701) defining the trust overlay and its binding profiles; and the AgentNet family (IAASO-3001…3901) building the layer model for the agent network and its verifiable delivery attestation — alongside the foundational IAASO-0001 (UAP), IAASO-0002 v1.1 (public resolution and verification) and IAASO-0004 (media provenance). Every standard on the register is published, and each is bound to a commit-pinned document and content hash. Standards are referenced by the stable IAASO-NNNN:version convention.
| Code | Title | Stage |
|---|---|---|
| IAASO-0001 | Universal Agent Protocol (UAP) v1The ratified foundational protocol: permanent agent identity, resolution, signed status objects and the hash-chained, Polygon-anchored ledger. Published as the UAP specification in the UUAID repository. | published |
| IAASO-0002 | Public Resolution and Verification ProtocolPublic resolution and verification: how any party resolves a UUAID subject and independently verifies its signed status objects and credentials against the public registry. Maintenance release v1.1, ratified and published 2026-09-01. | published |
| IAASO-0004 | Media Provenance and Attribution ProtocolA portable, cryptographically signed Media Provenance Manifest bound to a UUAID subject, carried inside the file itself or alongside it; companion profile for signed PDFs (PKCS#7/PAdES and the ESigPQSeal post-quantum hybrid seal). The registry verifies; it never issues. | published |

BMachine-readable artifacts
The normative machine-readable truth for each standard is its shipped JSON Schema and conformance vectors — where prose and schema disagree, the schema wins and the prose receives an erratum. Schemas (v1 and v1.1), OpenAPI descriptions, examples and the conformance runner are published in the open repository at github.com/uuaid.
