From developing network protocols to helping define the domain ecosystem, the contributions from the Hispanic and Latino community to our industry are immeasurable. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, Verisign honors the many engineers, developers, and visionaries who have helped advance and support the internet.

Our recent @ietf Internet-Draft suggests utilizing the existing infrastructure of the #DNS to help #AI agents communicate by introducing two new DNS resource record types. As part of this work, we’ve announced a public license that includes royalty-free terms to support standardization of our proposal. Learn more: vrsn.cc/6019BGVPe3

Will you be attending #ROW15 on Sept. 29? Verisign’s Zaid AlBanna, Duane Wessels, Joe Harvey, and Swapneel Sheth will be speaking at several sessions covering 1) mTLS policy updates that could change how EPP functions, 2) a possible new DNS record type for delegations, and 3) how Merkle trees may help address some of the challenges DNSSEC faces with post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Join us so you can help shape the ideas that may soon shape our industry. Register now: vrsn.cc/6016BGVPnG @ROWevents

🌐 The #DNS is uniquely suited to address some of the challenges that come along with #AI agent identity and discovery. It’s already globally deployed and operates at the scale of the internet. As agentic AI becomes increasingly prevalent, our researchers propose a new system to facilitate AI agents locating and communicating with each other, building off the infrastructure of the DNS. Read about it in our latest blog post: vrsn.cc/6013B178IU
