Abstract
This document defines the Vorim Agent Identity Protocol (VAIP), a standard for establishing verifiable cryptographic identity, fine- grained permissions, trust scoring, and tamper-evident audit trails for autonomous AI agents. As AI agents increasingly perform actions autonomously in enterprise systems, existing identity protocols designed for human users or static services are insufficient. VAIP addresses this gap by providing cryptographic primitives and data structures for issuing, verifying, and managing agent identities in multi-tenant environments. The protocol uses Ed25519 for agent identity, SHA-256 for audit integrity, and defines seven hierarchical permission scopes with time-bounded grants and rate limiting.
