An anonymous reader cites a ZDNET report: The Linux Foundation announced at the open source summit in Denver that it will do so Now organize the Agent2agent protocol (A2A). Initially developed by Google and now supported by more than 100 leading technological companies, A2A It is a new open crucial standard for safe and interoperable communication among AI agents. In his main presentation, Mike Smith, a software engineer from Google staff, told the conference that the A2A protocol has evolved to facilitate adding personalized extensions to the central specification. In addition, the A2A community is working to facilitate the assignment of unique identities to AI agents, thus improving governance and security.
The A2A protocol is designed to resolve one of the most pressing challenges of AI: allow autonomous agents (software entities capable of action and independent decision making, discover each other, exchange information and collaborate safely on platforms, suppliers and disparate frames. Under the hood, A2 does this work creating a Agent cake. A agentcard is a JavaScript object notation metadata document (JSON) that describes its purpose and provides instructions on how to access it through a web URL. A2A also takes advantage of the widely adopted web standards, such as HTTP, JSON-RPC and Server-Sent Events (SSE), to guarantee broad compatibility and ease of integration. By providing a standardized neutral communication layer in the supplier, A2A broken down the silos that historically have limited the potential of multiple agents systems.
For security, A2A comes with authentication and authorization of integrated business degree, including support for web tokens JSON (JWTS), Openid Connect (OIDC) and the security of the transport layer (TLS). This approach ensures that only authorized agents can participate in workflows, protecting confidential data and identities of agents. While the security bases are in their place, the conference developers recognized that their integration, particularly the authentic agents, will be hard work. Antje Barth, a main developer of Amazon Web Services (AWS) defender of the generative AI, explained what the adoption of A2A will mean for IT professionals: “Let’s say you want to book a train trip to Copenhagen, then a hotel there, and look for an elegant restaurant, right and individual tasks, and A2A adds more agents to this conversation, with an agent of a specialized hotel Restaurants, and thus has individual entries and tasks, and A2A adds more agents to this conversation, with an agent of a restaurant specialized hotel, and thus has individual entries and tasks, and A2A adds more agents to this conversation, with an agent of a hotel?
Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, said: “When joining the Linux Foundation, A2A is ensuring the neutrality, collaboration and long -term governance that will unlock the next era of productivity fueled by agent to agent.” Zemlin expects A2A to become an cornerstone to build AI AI systems of multiple intero agents.
