As AI agents become more autonomous, identity becomes part of the infrastructure problem.
We’ve been working on Agent Name Service (ANS) to give agents a verifiable identity before they interact or exchange sensitive information.
One design goal is that verification shouldn’t depend on a centralized service for every request. ANS can verify an agent offline against published root keys, with the verification path completing in under 0.5 ms on a single server core.
The work builds on infrastructure we already have around domains and DNS.
We’re also looking at that infrastructure at the DNS layer through SVCB and HTTPS records, evolving how modern applications connect beyond traditional CNAME-based architectures.
Two engineering deep dives:
→ Don’t Trust. Verify. Offline, Sub-Millisecond Agent Verification with ANS
