Zero Trust Engineering — Credential issuance, rotation and revocation

/02 About

Identity and access engineering reference for credential issuance, rotation and revocation, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Credential issuance, rotation and revocation. Domain: Identity and access. Family: lifecycle. Scenario trigger: Request credential issuance or renewal. Input assurance: Identity proof, key possession and expiration signals. Evaluation: Evaluate credential validity and issuance requirements. Governing policy: Credential lifetime, rotation and compromise policy. Resource-side obligation: Issue, rotate or revoke bounded credential. Protected concern: Credential verification ecosystem. Logical interface: Credential issuance chain expiry key identifier and revocation event. Evidence: Signed issuance rotation and revocation status. Failure: Compromised issuer, expired credential or failed rotation. Required recovery: Disable affected credentials and reestablish trust chain. Architectural invariant: Revoked credentials cannot be accepted after bounded freshness interval Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
