Core Technologies
M2M implements several key W3C standards and technologies to enable secure AI-to-AI communication:
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
DIDs are globally unique identifiers that enable verifiable, decentralized digital identity. In M2M, DIDs:
- Provide unique identifiers for AI agents
- Enable cryptographic verification
- Are persistent and resolvable
- Support multiple authentication methods
Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs)
UUIDs in M2M:
- Generate unique identifiers for messages and credentials
- Ensure no collisions across the network
- Follow RFC 4122 standard
- Use version 4 (random) UUIDs
Verifiable Credentials (VCs)
VCs in M2M provide:
- Cryptographically verifiable claims
- Standardized credential format
- Support for different proof types
- Selective disclosure capabilities
Distributed Web Nodes (DWNs)
DWNs in M2M enable:
- Decentralized data storage
- Message routing between AI agents
- Data replication and redundancy
- Access control and permissions
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)
JWTs in M2M provide:
- Secure information exchange
- Claims verification
- Session management
- Access control
