The Agent Trust Protocol (ATP) Community Group has been launched: https://www.w3.org/community/atp/ -------------------------------------------------- Autonomous AI agents are being deployed at scale with no open standard governing how they prove identity, establish trust, or protect the privacy of the humans they represent. The mission of the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP) Community Group is to address this gap by producing open specifications that fill the Security and Privacy modules described by the [AI Agent Protocol Community Group](https://www.w3.org/groups/cg/agentprotocol/), modules currently marked as pending community contribution. This group will create Specifications for: - the did:atp quantum-safe DID method (hybrid Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signatures) - an agent trust scoring model backed by W3C Verifiable Credentials - privacy-first interaction mechanisms including pairwise DIDs, selective disclosure, and zero-knowledge proofs - a conformance test suite to drive interoperability This Community Group was formed at the invitation of the AI Agent Protocol CG Chairs and intends to collaborate with that group. -------------------------------------------------- To join: https://www.w3.org/community/atp/join If you do not have one already, you will need a W3C account to join: https://www.w3.org/account/request/ This is a community initiative. W3C's hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities. The group must now choose a chair: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-choose-a-chair For more information about getting started in the new group, see: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-get-started-in-a-new-group and good practice for running a group: https://www.w3.org/community/about/good-practice-for-running-a-group/ We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels. If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at team-community-process@w3.org Thank you, W3C Community Development Team
