The rapid proliferation of autonomous agents has created a significant governance vacuum. As organizations prepare to manage an estimated 150,000 agents by 2028, the technical infrastructure required to secure these entities is being built in real-time. While the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) works to formalize the necessary identity layers, the market is not waiting for consensus. A distinct gap has emerged between the slow, deliberate pace of standards development and the immediate, commercial reality of agent identity products. At the center of this standardization effort is ID-JAG , an active Internet-Draft within the OAuth Working Group.
