Abstract:

   Autonomous AI agents increasingly act as economic parties: they are
   hired, they pay, and they make claims about their own past conduct.
   No deployed standard lets a relying party verify an agent's identity
   continuity, the integrity of its claimed history, or the intactness
   of its persisted memory without trusting the agent's operator or
   platform.

   This document describes the Agent Record architecture: per-agent
   append-only event logs bound to Ed25519 keys, checkpointed with
   signed Merkle tree heads following the RFC 6962 construction,
   countersigned by independent witnesses, and exported as portable,
   offline-verifiable dossiers.  Memory integrity is anchored by hash
   commitments recorded in the log, allowing an agent's future sessions,
   and any third party, to detect tampering with persisted state.  The
   architecture is deployed in production at a founding registry; this
   document records its wire formats and security model to invite
   independent implementation and review, and to align terminology with
   the SCITT architecture, of which this system is an application-
   specific instance.
