   Title:   ApertoID-Signature: HTTP Request Signing for AI Agent Identity

Abstract:

   This document defines the ApertoID-Signature HTTP header field, which
   enables AI agents to cryptographically prove their identity on each
   HTTP request.  The agent signs the request method, target URL, body
   hash, and identity metadata using an Ed25519 private key whose
   corresponding public key is published in DNS via the ApertoID
   protocol [APERTOID-DNS].  The mechanism provides request-level
   identity verification, action binding (the signature is tied to the
   specific method and URL), and replay protection via timestamps and
   nonces.
