The specifications, SDKs, and conformance tests are free and open. Begin in software; advance to hardware-backed and post-quantum assurance as requirements demand.

> **The 2-minute version:** [technical one-pager](technical-one-pager.md).

> ### AgenTrust Fellowship 2026: applications 1 to 29 August
>
> OPAQUE is funding **three to five fellows** to work on these projects for six months, part-time at 20 hours per week, paid. The work is here in the open repos; OPAQUE is the employer and funder, and the fellowship exists to put more hands on the open specifications rather than on a product.
>
> For security engineers, distributed systems researchers, AI governance and compliance professionals, and Ph.D. students. Fellows contribute code and specifications and complete a public technical artifact such as a paper or a conference talk. Mentored by Imran Siddique, Chief Platform Officer at OPAQUE and creator of AGT.
>
> Selection is on a **technical proposal**, so start from the work rather than the pitch: [open issues labelled `fellowship`](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aagentrust-io+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Afellowship&type=issues) across trace-spec, cmcp, cA2A, and agent-manifest are real, currently-open items. Cohort starts September 2026.

- **Confirmed founding partner:** Technology Innovation Institute (TII).
- **Invited:** Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, Block, and ServiceNow; and the standards homes we're proposing into (AAIF / Linux Foundation, CoSAI / OASIS Open). Co-editor slots are open.

**Fellows.** OPAQUE funds three to five paid, part-time fellowships on these projects, applications 1 to 29 August 2026. See the callout at the top of this page.

**Contributors & implementers.** You don't need a seat to build with us:
- If you build an agent framework or governance tooling (LangChain, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, Haystack, PydanticAI, Dify, Cisco AI Defense, or anything else in the ecosystem), bring an adapter.
- Bring your platform's attestation root (TEE, GPU, TPM, or managed runtime) as a provider.
