Section 1 — Estonia
No new relevant, non-duplicate Estonia source was verified. The RIA Aruait update and ERR legal commentary are already covered in estonia-ai-agent-id; a later search crawl does not establish a new publication (source: 2026-10-21-ai-agent-identity-news.md).
Section 2 — Other countries
International standards: agent URI scheme and verifiable agent identity (draft-04)
- The agent URI Scheme and Verifiable Agent Identity, revision 04, by independent authors Yaswanth Narvaneni and Sai Purnima Ravi, published through IETF Datatracker on 20 October 2026 (primary technical proposal; publication hour not verified, so ordering against the previous cutoff is uncertain) (source: 2026-10-21-ai-agent-identity-news.md).
- The draft defines a stable agent URI that maps to an identity document served over HTTPS, connects agent keys to a web origin or decentralized identifier, and signs references to protocol metadata. Further profiles cover signed HTTP requests and short-lived agent instances using WIMSE workload credentials. It separates proof of key control from claims about the operator and from authorization to act (source: 2026-10-21-ai-agent-identity-news.md).
- It is an individual Internet-Draft, not an adopted or endorsed IETF standard. Added to agent-standards-and-interoperability.
No additional qualifying country-level development after deduplication. Excluded: Microsoft’s agent-insider security blog (19 October, pre-window); IDENTOS PolicyArc (20 October vendor product release); repeats of Proof x401, CERT-In, FSB and FCA coverage (source: 2026-10-21-ai-agent-identity-news.md).
