About this paper

Akshay Mittal, Elyson De La Cruz

ANS provides a Kubernetes-integrated, DNS-like directory and trust layer for discovering AI agents by identity and capability. The prototype connects registration and resolution with certificate-based checks, policy gates, and deployment controls. In a three-node cluster benchmark, policy evaluation averaged 3 ms, while capability verification averaged 78 ms; these demo-environment results do not validate the full security design or production readiness.
