Zero Trust Engineering — Identity assurance failure and recovery

/02 About

Identity and access engineering reference for identity assurance failure and recovery, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Identity assurance failure and recovery. Domain: Identity and access. Family: resilience. Scenario trigger: Detect unavailable identity authority or verifier. Input assurance: Verifier health, cached session freshness and trust anchors. Evaluation: Assess authentication availability and residual risk. Governing policy: Identity control-plane outage and emergency-access policy. Resource-side obligation: Apply explicitly bounded degraded authorization or denial. Protected concern: Protected enterprise access operations. Logical interface: Identity service health emergency decision scope expiry and reconciliation. Evidence: Emergency access decision and identity recovery evidence. Failure: Identity service partition, issuer compromise or invalid key. Required recovery: Isolate trust domain and recover verified authentication service. Architectural invariant: Control-plane failure must not silently weaken required identity assurance 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.
