   Title:   N-AALP: The Native Agentic Application Layer Protocol

Abstract:

   The Native Agentic Application Layer Protocol (N-AALP) is an
   application-layer object protocol for autonomous software agents.
   Every N-AALP object is a deterministically encoded CBOR structure
   signed with COSE, carrying under one signature its content identity,
   its originating signer, a closed effect label that is an
   authorization input rather than a hint, optional approval and audit
   bindings, and its causal derivation.  Objects are transport-
   independent: the identical signed object is carried, with identical
   object-level guarantees, over the N-PAMP substrate, QUIC, WebSocket,
   or HTTP.  N-AALP defines a frozen envelope, a post-quantum signature
   profile (ML-DSA with an optional Ed25519 hybrid), a self-certifying
   identity with key rotation, a single-use approval ledger, a hash-
   chained audit and causal- ordering model with a federated higher
   tier, native streaming with a single per-stream commitment, foreign-
   protocol carriage by class, and twenty tiered channel surfaces.  This
   document is an Independent Submission and does not represent IETF
   consensus.
