Passport Specification

ECZ-ID passports are scoped, time-specific state declarations attached to a parent ECZ-ID. They are governed by deterministic policy and resolver logic. This specification defines passport format, behavior, and resolution outcomes.

Passport States

• Declared — Self-asserted with no reviewed input.
• Verified — Supported by checked evidence and authority-linked validation.
• Assured — Fully underwritten by an authority node, insurer, or auditor.

States are resolver-governed machine outputs. They do not imply endorsement, certification, or trustworthiness.

Resolution Behavior

• Passports resolve only if attached to an active ECZ-ID and recognized by the resolver.
• Each includes issuance time, expiration (if any), and structured metadata for machine parsing.
• Revoked or expired passports return non-authoritative state and should not be used downstream.
• Passports cannot exist independently. They are always subordinate to their parent ECZ-ID.
