Track record

Open standards & interoperability

• IETF Internet-Draft — draft-sokolov-rats-aep-composition: composing Action Evidence Packages with RATS remote-attestation evidence (individual submission, revision -03).
• IETF Internet-Draft (co-authored) — draft-mih-sokolov-scitt-payload-binding: canonical payload binding for records anchored to SCITT transparency services, with Steven Mih (individual submission, revision -01).
• CoSAI (OASIS), Secure-AI-Tooling — contributions to register eIDAS 2.0 (Reg. (EU) 2024/1183) as a mappable framework (#391) and to add a confused-deputy adversarial-corpus risk reference (#392).
• Eclipse ORC Working Group — open pull request #353 adding six draft CRA FAQ questions on AI systems and AI agents. The contribution is open and unmerged.
• Deterministic trust-object encoding — public technical contributions in Composable Trust Specs #1, OpenID DCHP #18, and SCITT Payload Binding #17. These are discussion records, not adopted specification text.
• AEP × Veraison freshness and composition demonstrated with genuine TPM 2.0 quotes from swtpm, then carried to the IETF 126 Hackathon (Vienna, July 2026). This demonstrates the appraisal mechanics, not a manufacturer-backed hardware root.

Appointments & research networks

• COST Action CA25178 — API-Net — Anton Sokolov accepted Estonia's nomination as a Management Committee member on 11 August 2026. This is an individual national-representative appointment with Tyche Institute as the affiliation, not organisational COST membership or an endorsement. The public Action page has not yet synchronised Estonia's appointment. Appointment note →

Public presentations & demonstrations

• AICYBERSEC2026, Lesvos · 17 July 2026 — informal small-group live demonstration of the accountable-agent evidence console. Recorded as a demonstration, not a scheduled programme talk.
• IETF 126 Hackathon results, Vienna · 19 July 2026 — formal 90-second readout, “The payment agent that cannot overspend,” covering the EUDI-wallet MachineMandate, Veraison appraisal, deterministic permit/deny runs, and independently executed COSE interoperability.
• ESORICS 2026 workshops, Rome · 17–18 September 2026 — two accepted papers in the Springer LNCS proceedings: “Signed, Fresh, and Wrong: Cross-Verifier Disagreement in AI-Agent Evidence over X-Road” (RAISE) and “Spec-as-(N+1)-oracle Differential Fuzzing of SD-JWT Presentation Verification” (STM). Camera-ready packages and author registrations are complete; proceedings publication is pending. Public artifacts: RAISE and STM.
• XAI-EADM at CBI & EDOC, Enschede · 15 September 2026 — “Preparing X-Road for Explainable AI Agents” accepted for the Springer LNBIP workshop proceedings. Camera-ready paper, sources, licence-to-publish, and author registration are complete; proceedings publication is pending. Workshop page ↗
• ETSI/CEN EUDI Wallet workshop, Sophia Antipolis · 30 September–1 October 2026 — on-site MachineMandate demonstration table during coffee breaks. This is not a programme talk, TC membership, standards submission, or endorsement. Workshop page ↗
• IETF 126 side meeting · 20 July 2026 — contribution to “Remote Attestation Challenges for AI Agents.” The discussion converged on a workload-neutral boundary: RATS appraises relevant properties of an untrusted endpoint; delegation and action records remain separate, composable layers. This is a side-meeting outcome, not IETF consensus or a working-group decision. Speaker notes and figure →

Peer review & service

Peer reviewer for indexed journals in information science and public administration (2026). Programme-committee member, 1st International Workshop on Explainable AI for Enterprise Architecture and Decision-Making (XAI-EADM) at CBI & EDOC 2026.

Unlike the rest of this page, these two have no public anchor: journal review assignments are confidential, and the workshop does not publish its programme committee. They are stated on our own record and cannot be verified from outside.
