Project Z7 Whitepaper
The 2026.1.0 whitepaper describes the identity model, resolution layer, trust boundaries, security principles and interoperability path.
Numeric identity
A compact, language-neutral number can serve as a persistent reference for a defined subject.
Layered architecture
Profiles, services, manifests, verification and local resource data have distinct responsibilities.
Interoperability
Versioned schemas, resolver behavior and conformance tests support independent implementations.
Security and privacy
Minimal shared state, scoped authority, recovery and visible provenance reduce systemic risk.
Ecosystem services
Search, communication, commerce, payment and specialized tools can build on the identity layer.
