   Title:   ApertoID: DNS-Based Agent Identity Declaration Protocol

Abstract:

   This document defines ApertoID, a DNS-based protocol that enables
   domain owners to declare authorized AI agents acting on their behalf,
   publish cryptographic keys for agent identity verification, and
   specify enforcement policies for unauthorized agents.  ApertoID uses
   existing DNS TXT records under the "_apertoid" underscore-scoped
   domain name to provide a decentralized, standards-based mechanism for
   AI agent identity declaration and verification.

   ApertoID defines two record types: a Policy Record analogous to DMARC
   that specifies domain-level enforcement behavior, and Agent
   Declaration Records analogous to DKIM key records that bind agent
   endpoints to Ed25519 public keys with mandatory expiration.  A
   companion document [APERTOID-SIG] defines the HTTP request signing
   mechanism that enables agents to cryptographically prove their
   identity on each request.
