Zero Trust Intelligence The Zero Trust Intelligence Protocol (ZTIP) is an open, transport- neutral protocol for governed AI agent transactions. It defines five immutable JSON envelope types and a transaction lifecycle under which every agent-initiated action is authorized by policy before execution, integrity-protected by hash over a canonical form, and -- distinctively -- verified as complete by an authority independent of the actor that performed the work. An executor's claim of success is treated as attestation, and attestation alone never satisfies a required verification check. This document describes ZTIP version 1.0-draft for the record; the full specification, JSON Schemas, examples, and a reference runtime are maintained in the open at the repository referenced herein.
