   Title:   NHE Identity: A Verifiable Key-Committed Identity and Genesis-Attestation Format for Autonomous Agents
   Author:  Cristian Xavier Ruvalcaba
   Name:    draft-ruvalcaba-nhe-identity-00.txt

Abstract:

   This document specifies how a Non-Human Entity (NHE) is identified
   and how one party verifies another's identity.  An NHE identity is a
   verifiable cryptographic commitment: control of an identity key,
   bound by an append-only hash chain to the entity's genesis and to the
   lineage of its configuration, rather than a mere name.  The document
   defines the identity chain data model (record structure, genesis
   sentinel, linkage rule, and the no-fork property), a proof-of-control
   challenge/response, an optional capability attestation that reveals a
   specific capability without revealing the rest of the configuration,
   and an optional hardware-rooted genesis-attestation profile.  The
   data model is specified here; the concrete on-the-wire encoding is
   deferred to the next revision.
