Industry groups propose rival DNS schemes to identify AI agents

Several domain industry players have put forward competing proposals to make artificial intelligence agents discoverable and accountable through the Domain Name System, according to domainbrief.de. Verisign and Identity Digital are among the companies involved, alongside former Tucows chief executive Elliot Noss. The proposals reportedly differ in approach but share the goal of giving AI agents a verifiable presence within existing internet addressing infrastructure. The report did not specify timelines or which proposal, if any, is gaining traction among standards bodies.

Verisign launches certificate status service and applies for .pki domain

Verisign has announced Verisign Informed, a new security product aimed at preventing reliance on outdated certificate information, and confirmed it has applied for the .pki top level domain. The company says the service addresses what it calls stale trust, where systems make decisions based on cached or old certificate data. Verisign Informed works as a certificate status service, returning a cryptographically signed OCSP response that shows whether a certificate has been revoked. The product is currently in limited beta, with a general launch planned for the first half of 2027, while ICANN is due to reveal all new TLD applications, including Verisign's bid for .pki, on Wednesday.
