ECZ-ID SPECIFICATION

The ECZ-ID is the stable parent identifier.

ECZ-ID defines a stable identity spine that can be cited across contracts, systems, platforms, agents, APIs, marketplaces, insurers, auditors, regulators and automated review flows.

The identifier itself does not carry changing status. Current meaning comes from ECZ-ID Core state and Resolver proof where available.

Stable identity Resolver-first Non-semantic ID Backend state Authority boundary Machine-readable Lifecycle proof Evidence receipts

Core boundary: Websites explain. TrustOps operates. ECZ-ID Core controls state. Resolver verifies public proof where available. Developer Gateway documents implementation routes.

IDENTIFIER PURPOSE

One stable parent reference. Many controlled operating surfaces.

What the ECZ-ID is

  • A parent identity spine for one organisation, operator or eligible subject.
  • A resolver-first identifier that can be checked by humans and machines.
  • A stable reference for passports, state records, receipts and lifecycle events.
  • A non-semantic identifier designed to avoid version pollution and identity drift.
  • A public anchor for deterministic review, audit, procurement and integration.

What the ECZ-ID is not

  • It is not a rating, score, endorsement, approval or certification.
  • It is not proof that a business, agent, API, product or passport is currently active.
  • It is not a replacement for regulators, auditors, insurers, courts or institutional decision-makers.
  • It is not a checkout, entitlement, dashboard or customer account.
  • It is not quantum-computed identity. ECZ-ID truth remains deterministic.

REFERENCE ROUTE

How an ECZ-ID becomes useful public reference.

The identifier gives reviewers a stable route. The public meaning comes from Resolver output, lifecycle state and public-safe evidence where available.

01

Identifier exists

A stable parent ECZ-ID is assigned using the canonical format.

02

Authority is controlled

Issuance, eligibility, lifecycle and state changes remain controlled by ECZ-ID Core.

03

Passports attach

Scoped passports and operating objects attach underneath the stable parent identity.

04

Evidence is referenced

Public-safe receipts, timestamps, manifests and proof references may support review.

05

Resolver verifies

Resolver provides the public read-only route for current proof where available.

06

Reviewer decides

Humans, agents, platforms and policy systems apply their own review rules.

CANONICAL FORM

The parent ECZ-ID is short, stable and deliberately non-semantic.

The ECZ-ID should remain safe to cite in contracts, systems, manifests, logs, Resolver URLs, procurement records, agent metadata, API documentation, badge links and evidence references without changing when tier, authority or state changes.

01

Prefix

ECZ identifies the identifier family and separates ECZ-ID references from local names, domains, badges and marketplace labels.

02

Country code

CC is the two-letter country code used in the parent format. It is not a changing authority or state field.

03

Base36 suffix

XXXXXX is the stable six-character identifier body. It is not a tier, product, score, approval or lifecycle signal.

04

Resolver meaning

Resolver output, not the ID string alone, determines the current public reliance posture where proof is available.

PARENT AND CHILD SEPARATION

Parent identity first. Passport scope second. Instance suffix last.

ECZ-ID avoids identity explosion by keeping the parent identifier stable while child passports describe scoped accountability surfaces underneath that parent identity.

A passport can change, degrade, expire, suspend or revoke without changing the parent ECZ-ID.

INTERPRETATION RULES

Never infer authority from presentation.

A copied page, badge image, marketplace listing, agent profile, API label, document, screenshot or private message is not the authority plane. ECZ-ID interpretation must route through the correct public and operational surfaces.

01

Core controls state

Issuance, authority changes, lifecycle state, downgrade, suspension, revocation and eligibility are ECZ-ID Core controlled.

02

Resolver projects proof

Resolver is the public read-only verification surface for current state, public identifiers, receipts and machine-readable outputs where available.

03

TrustOps operates

TrustOps handles acquisition, setup, payment, customer access, lifecycle and repair workflows over backend-controlled state.

04

Developer Gateway guides

Developer Gateway provides schemas, route indexes, examples and implementation guidance. It does not issue proof or write truth.

MACHINE-READABLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

Humans read the page. Machines re-check the state.

ECZ-ID references are designed for procurement teams, agents, platforms, APIs, auditors, insurers, marketplaces and automated systems that need a repeatable route to current public state.

Resolver

Use Resolver for current public state and machine-readable proof where available.

Developer Gateway

Use Developer Gateway for schemas, route indexes, manifests, examples and safe integration patterns.

TrustOps

Use TrustOps for acquisition, setup, lifecycle action, binding repair and customer operation.

EVIDENCE AND SECURITY

Deterministic identity. Durable evidence protection.

ECZ-ID identity and state are controlled by deterministic backend rules. Evidence-grade artifacts may use quantum-safe or hybrid signature approaches where required so long-lived proof material remains more resilient over time.

Quantum computation does not create ECZ-IDs, decide authority, set lifecycle state or replace Resolver verification.

SAFE USAGE EXAMPLES

Where an ECZ-ID can be cited.

Contracts and procurement

Cite the parent ECZ-ID as a stable identity reference, then require Resolver checks for current state before reliance.

Agents and automation

Include ECZ-ID references in agent metadata or manifests, but require Resolver output before automated reliance.

APIs and software

Use ECZ-ID references in API documentation, OpenAPI extensions, package metadata or software supply-chain records.

Badges and public pages

Badges and public pages should route to Resolver. They must not become proof clones or independent authority surfaces.

Insurers and auditors

Use the identifier to locate the relevant public proof surface, receipts, effective dates and current state where available.

Platforms and marketplaces

Use ECZ-ID as a reference key for review and routing, not as a platform endorsement or automatic approval signal.

PUBLIC REFERENCE PATH

Use this page to understand the parent identifier model. Use Resolver for current public proof where available. Use TrustOps for acquisition, setup, lifecycle and repair. Use Developer Gateway for implementation guidance, schemas and machine-readable integration.
