      <abstract>
	 <t>   The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), defined by ISO 17442 and operated
   under the global governance of the Global Legal Entity Identifier
   Foundation (GLEIF), is the internationally recognized identifier for
   legal entities in financial transactions and regulatory reporting.
   The verifiable LEI (vLEI), built on Key Event Receipt Infrastructure
   (KERI) and Authentic Chained Data Containers (ACDC), extends the LEI
   into the digital trust ecosystem with cryptographically verifiable
   credentials issued through Qualified vLEI Issuers (QVIs).

   This document specifies how the Agent Transfer Protocol (AGTP) binds
   to the LEI and vLEI infrastructure.  It defines how an LEI is carried
   in an AGTP Owner-ID, how a vLEI Legal Entity credential composes with
   AGTP-CERT to establish institutional identity at the wire, how a new
   verification path (vlei-anchored) is added to AGTP-TRUST for KERI-
   based verification, and how vLEI Role Credentials (OOR, ECR, AUTH)
   express the human authorization chain that produced an agent.

   The result is a clean composition: AGTP provides the agent identity
   substrate, the LEI provides the institutional identity, the vLEI
   provides cryptographic verification of that institutional identity,
   and the vLEI Role Credentials provide the authorization chain from
   the legal entity through human officers to the agent.  This document
   positions financial institutions, regulated entities, and other LEI
   holders to deploy agents with structurally verifiable institutional
   identity from day one.
