JIS: JTel Identity Standard - Identity and Trust Establishment for Autonomous Agents

This document defines JIS (JTel Identity Standard), a protocol for establishing identity, negotiating trust, and binding intent declarations to actor interactions. JIS provides three core mechanisms: a dual-keypair identity model separating human-device binding (HID) from device authentication (DID), a trust establishment handshake (FIR/A) that negotiates capabilities and records intent, and a human-readable context layer (Humotica) that captures the sense, context, intent, and explanation for every interaction. JIS is transport-agnostic and operates as a semantic layer above existing protocols. It integrates with TIBET [TIBET] for provenance tracking, and is consumed by UPIP [UPIP], RVP [RVP], and AINS [AINS] for process integrity, continuous verification, and agent discovery respectively.
