    abstract =  {This document specifies a deterministic cryptographic verification profile for execution traces, delegation chains, and weight-custody manifests generated by autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents operating across Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent-to-Agent (A2A), and enterprise system-of-record boundaries. The profile binds JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS, RFC 8785) pre-image serialization, Ed25519 (RFC 8032) and ECDSA P-256/P-384 signatures, JSON Web Key (JWK, RFC 7517) thumbprint pinning, and fail-closed revocation and freshness checks so that relying parties can independently verify whether an agent action was authorized prior to commit.},
