  "title": "Agent Name Service (ANS): A Proof-of-Concept Trust Layer for Secure AI Agent Discovery, Identity, and Governance in Kubernetes",
  "summary": "Autonomous AI agent ecosystems require stronger mechanisms for secure discovery, identity verification, capability attestation, and policy governance. Current deployments frequently lack (1) uniform agent discovery, (2) cryptographic agent authentication, (3) capability proofs that protect secrets, and (4) enforceable policy controls. This paper presents an implementation-oriented proof of concept for the Agent Name Service (ANS), a DNS-inspired trust layer for AI agent discovery and interoperab",
