OpenAgenet / OAN Yellow Paper: Technical Architecture for Trust-Governed Resource Identity and Discovery

This yellow paper describes the technical architecture of OpenAgenet / OAN.OAN is a protocol-neutral trust layer for open Agent interconnection anddiscoverable AI resource products. It specifies the role architecture,did:oan identity objects, registration workflow,governance-backed Root lifecycle enforcement, Root-verified package model,authorization-aware Discovery, Root-issued infrastructure authorization VCs,signed trusted invocation,verification requirements, state transitions, security properties,implementation boundaries, and deployment considerations. The design isintended to support heterogeneous Agent frameworks and interaction protocols,including MCP, A2A, ANP-like systems, domain-specific Agent protocols, Skills,MCP Servers, and Tool/API resources. OAN does not define the entire businessconversation among Agents or the native protocol of every resource; it defineshow resource identities become admissible, discoverable, verifiable, and safeto approach before protocol-specific interaction begins.
