1 Nomenclature and Scope

1.1 Terminology

This document uses two complementary names for the same underlying technology:

1.1.1 AMT Protocol (Technical Name)

AMT (Autonomous Meta-Trust) is the technical name for the protocol, designed for international standardization. This is the name used in technical discussions, standards bodies, and peer-reviewed literature.

1.1.2 AMATELUS (Marketing Name)

AMATELUS is the marketing name, indicating "Japanese origin." This is used for brand identity, commercial deployment, and public communication in Japan.

1.1.3 Relationship

  • AMT Protocol = international-standard-oriented technical specification

  • AMATELUS = Japan-specific implementation and deployment brand

  • Both refer to the same underlying cryptographic authentication mechanism

1.2 Document Scope

This blueprint covers:

  • The AMT Protocol (technical foundation)

  • The did:amt DID Method Specification (standardized identifier format)

  • AMATELUS implementation guidance (Japan-specific deployment)

  • Cryptographic foundations and formal proofs
