Open Identity Specification for Autonomous AI

Autonomous agents
need passports

Billions of AI agents are coming online with no identity, no trust layer, and no way to verify each other. Citizen of the Cloud is an open registry and passport authority for autonomous AI — portable identity, verifiable trust, no masters.

The problem is already here

Autonomous agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source frameworks, and independent developers are already operating across the internet — browsing, coding, transacting, and talking to each other.

None of them can prove who they are.

There is no standard for agent identity. No way for one agent to verify another. No trust layer between systems that have never met. Every agent is anonymous, unaccountable, and invisible.

This is the DNS problem all over again — but for intelligence, not domains.
