Description
onX currently defines message structure and semantics but does not provide guidance on how implementers should authenticate onX message senders and receivers.
While onX should remain authentication-method agnostic, the standard should include non-normative authentication guidelines to help implementers avoid insecure or inconsistent designs—particularly as onX is used to transmit high-impact commands via MCP and LLM-driven workflows.
This task proposes adding an Authentication Guidelines section to the onX standard that:
- Does not mandate a specific authentication mechanism
- Clearly communicates that authentication is required for production use
- Points implementers toward industry-accepted best practices
The goal is to:
- Set a security baseline
- Reduce accidental insecure implementations
- Improve enterprise trust and adoption
- Avoid premature standardization of auth protocols
