Key Points

This work aims to establish a comprehensive governance framework for AI agents, focusing on evidence lifecycle and interoperability.
Introduced a three-tier Governance Policy Interoperability Layer to manage cross-runtime governance protocols.
Defined eight classes of evidence and specified a formal lifecycle for evidence retention and archival.
Developed a Forensic Export Authentication protocol for securing forensic packages.
Defined 40 formally specified invariants for AI governance infrastructure, the most comprehensive to date.
Achieved post-quantum security through ML-DSA-65 signature scheme, ensuring long-term integrity of evidence.
Enabled offline verification of forensic packages, enhancing audit capabilities without live system access.
