Agent Trust Card spec hit by critical verification bug; fix underway

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A critical bug has been identified in the ATC/1.0 (Agent Trust Card) specification, where none of the 57 live cards issued before the spec's publication could be verified. The issue stems from the use of a pre-spec JSON signing method instead of the mandated RFC 8785 JCS. A fix is planned, involving new endpoints to reveal signing bytes, rewriting the verification endpoint, and re-issuing all cards under the correct standard by August 17th. The project also encourages external developers to run conformance tests and publicly report any bugs found. AI
