The Linux Foundation on Tuesday declared its intent to launch the Agent Name Service (ANS), an open standard that gives AI agents verifiable identities by tying them to the internet’s domain name system (DNS). The idea behind the ANS has actually been around for a while. It began as a research paper published in May 2025 by the OWASP GenAI Security Project, written by a group of application-security researchers. Its authors include Ken Huang, th…

Using ANS, a system or a person can confirm what organization an agent belongs to and what it has permission to […] The post Linux Foundation extends DNS to AI agents with new Agent Name Service appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
