Agentic Profile library for discovery, authentication, and communication with AI Agents
npm install @agentic-profile/authAn Agentic Profile is a JSON-LD/DID Document at a well known network location that becomes a DID URI for a person, business, or other entity. DID URIs can resolve to an HTTPS endpoint, on a blockchain, and many other services that are defined by the DID specification. For example, the URI did:web:iamagentic.ai/mike is a universal identifier that can be used to discover AI agents that represent Mike.

The Agentic Profile provides a means for authentication using strong public key cryptography. Each Agentic Profile publishes the current public key(s) for a person, and may also publish the public keys for the person's agents.
When the person (or an agent (A) of that person) attempts to communicate with another agent/service (B), the other agent (B) may provide a challenge and ask for the challenge to be signed by A. If the challenge signature is verified by B, then B can be assured it is communicating with A.
The Agentic Profile supports a protocol that is:
- Open source and based on W3C and IETF standards
- Light weight and easy to implement
- Very secure using strong public key cryptography (ed25519 by default) and the JSON Web Signature (JWS) standards
- Decentralized, anyone can publish an Agentic Profile DID resolvable service
- Fine grained/multi-tenant, allowing a single web service to handle many users/agents/tenants
- Extensible, supporting any number of agents for a single profile, and allowing the agents to communicate in any protocol they agree on
