Works alongside
What an ECZ-ID Plugin Passport sits beside
A Plugin Passport works with the marketplaces and permission models your plugin already lives in. Listings stay where they are; the Passport ties them to one identity.
Adjacent systems
What each already does, and what the Passport adds
ECZ-ID complements your frameworks, protocols, OAuth, cloud IAM and workload identity. It replaces none of them and stays outside the execution path.
Extension and app marketplaces
- What it does
- Distribute plugins, extensions and apps, under their own review processes.
- What an ECZ-ID adds
- One identity across every store, with each listing recorded as a binding rather than a second identity.
Source repositories
- What it does
- Host the code a library, plugin or server is built from.
- What an ECZ-ID adds
- A binding from the repository to the enduring subject, recorded with where it was learned.
OAuth 2.x and OpenID Connect
- What it does
- Delegate authorisation and authenticate a principal for a session.
- What an ECZ-ID adds
- A durable public record of the subject and its operator that outlives any token and needs none to read.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- What it does
- Connects AI applications to tools and data through a defined client–server protocol.
- What an ECZ-ID adds
- A resolvable identity for the agent and, separately, for each MCP server it uses — each with a named operator.
Adjacent identities
The Passports that surround this one
Each is a separate subject with its own operator and its own identity. None is issued for you, and none is implied by holding this one.
ECZ-ID Agent Passport™
Plugins extend agents. The agent a plugin serves is a separate subject with its own Passport.
ECZ-ID MCP Passport™
Plugins frequently bundle or connect to MCP servers, and each server is identified in its own right.
ECZ-ID API Passport™
Most plugins call an API. The API keeps one identity across every plugin that uses it.
ECZ-ID SDK Passport™
Plugins are built on SDKs and published as packages, each of which can carry its own publisher identity.
