IDENTARCH — Identity Architecture

What is IDENTARCH?

IDENTARCH is the identity and authentication layer of the ARCHAI system. It defines how entities, agents, users, and processes are recognized, validated, and authorized.

Purpose of IDENTARCH

IDENTARCH ensures that every interaction within the system is tied to a verifiable identity. It establishes:

• Identity primitives
• Authentication rules
• Authorization boundaries
• Trust relationships
• Entity classification

Core Responsibilities

IDENTARCH is responsible for:

• Identity creation and lifecycle
• Secure authentication flows
• Role and permission enforcement
• Trust scoring and validation
• Cross‑module identity consistency

Identity Types

IDENTARCH supports multiple identity classes:

• User identities — human or external actors
• Agent identities — autonomous system components
• Process identities — internal operations
• System identities — root‑level constructs

Relationship to Other Modules

IDENTARCH integrates with:

• ARCHAI — foundational governance
• AGENTUM — agent orchestration
• INTENTUM — intent validation
• MNEMARCH — identity‑linked memory
• ACCOUNTUM — account state & permissions
