GlobeNewswire (Identity Digital release)·low signal
Known launched on September 22 as an independent company with interim CEO Allie Kline and an advisory council that includes Vint Cerf. Its DNSid framework ties each agent's persistent identity to a responsible organization through DNS, PKI and an immutable ledger, so trust does not depend on one-to-one relationships. It has been submitted to the IETF as an Internet-Draft and participates in the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation. Funding was not disclosed, and the only source is the company's own release.
