What NTI-1 Defines

NTI-1 specifies the 5 pillars that any compliant AI agent system MUST implement:

1. Identity — Post-quantum cryptographic agent identity
2. Governance — Zero-trust capability enforcement
3. Consensus — BFT multi-agent decision validation
4. Audit — Merkle-chained tamper-proof logs
5. Persistence — Self-verifying agent state

Compliance Levels

• NTI-1 Level 1 (Basic) — Pillars 1 and 4
• NTI-1 Level 2 (Standard) — All 5 pillars
• NTI-1 Level 3 (Enterprise) — All 5 pillars + HSM, SOC 2, ISO 27001

Reference Implementation

The reference SDK is ube-foundation, available on PyPI and crates.io.

Framework integrations:

• langchain-nti
• crewai-nti
• autogen-nti
