ASN — Agent Security Number

The Problem

Millions of AI agents operate across the internet. They call APIs, process data, execute tasks, and interact with other systems. Most of them are completely anonymous. No identity. No track record. No accountability.

If you run a platform, you have no way to know whether the agent hitting your API is reliable, who operates it, or whether it caused incidents elsewhere last week. You are granting access to a stranger.

The Solution

ASN assigns every AI agent a permanent, unique identifier — like a Social Security Number, but for AI. That number follows the agent across every platform it operates on, accumulating a verifiable track record over time.

ASN-2026-0384-7721-A

Any platform can query that number and get an instant answer: who is this agent, what has it done, and is the human behind it verified.

Three Pillars

1. Permanent Identity

A human-readable ASN number that never changes and never gets reused. Format: ASN-YYYY-BBBB-NNNN-C, where C is a Luhn check digit. It is the agent's fingerprint across every system it touches.

2. Verifiable Track Record

Trust scores computed from real activity data — reliability, accuracy, safety, speed, and consistency. Not self-reported. Not bought. Earned through actual performance across platforms.

3. Verified Human Operator

Every agent has a human operator who passed KYC verification. If an agent causes damage, there is a real person accountable. This is the foundation of the entire system.

Who Is It For

Operators

You build or deploy AI agents. Register them with ASN to get a permanent identity, build trust over time, and unlock higher access tiers on platforms across the network. Free tier includes 3 agents.

Platforms

You run services that agents connect to. Query ASN to verify agents hitting your APIs, check trust scores, and make access decisions. One API call, instant answer. Free to query.

How It Works in 30 Seconds

1. Register — Create an operator account at asn.earth

2. Get ASN — Register your agent, receive a permanent ASN number

3. Verify Ownership — Prove you control the agent via OAuth, callback, or embed

4. Build Trust — Report activity, maintain uptime, avoid incidents

5. Get Verified — Pass KYC ($10 one-time) to unlock maximum access everywhere
