Resolver

Public, read-only proof of identity for your plugin, for anyone who asks.

The Resolver publishes the current record behind an ECZ-ID — who operates the plugin, what is bound to it, its current state and the evidence that exists — to people and software alike, with no account and no key.

The problem

Why it matters.

Your plugin is judged by people who cannot see inside your organisation. Without a public record they either take a listing on trust or send you a questionnaire.

Built for

  • Anyone deciding whether to use, approve or integrate your plugin.
  • Procurement and security reviewers who need a record, not a screenshot.
  • Software that needs to resolve an identity before acting.

What changes

  • A single public place where the identity can be checked.
  • Fewer identity questions answered by hand.
  • A record that says when it was read and how to re-check it.

What you receive

Concrete deliverables, not a vague trust score.

  • A public Resolver page for every published Passport.
  • The same record as machine-readable JSON.
  • Current state, operator, bindings and evidence presence.
  • For each verified binding, its proof method, when it was last verified and when a re-check is due.
  • The guard fields is_proof: false and recheck_before_reliance: true.

How it works

A short path from need to something usable.

  1. Your Passport is issued in TrustOps and written by ECZ-ID Core.

  2. You consent to publication; nothing is public before that.

  3. The Resolver projects the current record, read-only.

  4. Anyone resolves it — by page, JSON, badge or QR — and re-checks before relying on it.

How it relates to your Passport

Core writes the canonical record; the Resolver projects it. TrustOps and the Dashboard change what you hold and operate; only Core changes what the Resolver shows.

Use cases

  • A reviewer checking who publishes the plugin before approving it.
  • A procurement tool resolving a supplier's digital product automatically.
  • A customer clicking a badge on your website.

Price

Included free, with every Passport.

£0. It is part of the free Plugin Passport — permanent, not a trial, and no card is required.

After you take it

  1. TrustOps acquires

    Take the free Passport in TrustOps; your organisation's ECZ-ID Business Passport — Declared — FREE is reused or created.

  2. Dashboard operates

    Operate it in the Dashboard: publish, bind and copy your proof links.

  3. Resolver proves

    Anyone resolves the current record on the Resolver.

Privacy, security and evidence

What is collected, published and kept.

  • Publication requires your explicit consent, and you can withdraw it.
  • Only public-safe fields are projected.
  • Absence is neutral: no public record is not a finding.

Boundaries

The claims stop here.

  • The Resolver is public, read-only proof of what is currently declared and verified, with the time it was read. A record is not a verdict — is_proof is false and recheck_before_reliance is true. Re-check before reliance.
  • The Resolver is read-only. It never edits, issues or approves anything.
  • A binding is verified as of its Last verified time, and the record shows its Freshness. ECZ-ID does not renew a bound binding: once its proof method's freshness window has passed, the result is history and a new binding is the fresh proof. Re-check before reliance.

Integrations and questions

Works with what you already run.

  • Machine-readable JSON with no authentication in front of it.
  • Badge, QR and share links that land on the record.
  • The Developer Gateway, for resolving from your own code.
Does a Resolver record prove my claims?
No. It publishes what is currently declared and verified, and what evidence exists, with the time it was read. A record is not a verdict. Re-check before reliance.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every free Plugin Passport gets a public Resolver record.
Can I take a record down?
Publication is your decision, and you can withdraw it.
