Adds a research note on Open Agent Auth, an enterprise-grade authorization framework from Alibaba implementing the IETF AOAT protocol (draft-02, March 2026).
Covers three-layer cryptographic identity binding (OIDC user identity → WIMSE virtual workload → AOAT operation authorization), the authorization flow, AOAT JWT claims, agent-to-agent delegation chains, and semantic audit trails.
