Abstract:

   AI assistants and agents accumulate long-term memory about their
   users.  This memory is typically stored in proprietary, provider-held
   silos: it cannot be moved between tools, its integrity cannot be
   verified, and its confidentiality depends entirely on the provider.
   This document specifies the ApertoMemory format: a canonical, signed,
   client-side-encrypted representation of AI memory objects, together
   with a portable single-file export container.  Memory objects are
   encoded in deterministic CBOR, signed with COSE_Sign1, and encrypted
   with COSE_Encrypt0 under keys derived from and controlled by the
   user.  A storage or synchronisation server handling ApertoMemory
   objects has zero access to their content, authorship, or semantic
   timestamps.
