Immediate preparation
- 01
Stop protected use of the disputed credential
Contain the affected verification method without erasing the civil record.
- 02
Preserve evidence
Retain the credential version, relevant signatures, timestamps and compromise indicators.
- 03
Request a bounded protective state
Limit only the capabilities necessary to prevent imminent harm, with explicit expiry and review.
- 04
Establish continuity
Use multiple independent forms of evidence rather than one administrator's assertion.
- 05
Rotate and correct
Register a successor verification method and preserve the old method as revoked historical evidence.
Continuity evidence
Potential evidence includes prior signed state, lawful update history, peer attestations, archival continuity, institutional records and demonstrated control of unaffected recovery methods. No single factor automatically determines personhood.
Multiparty recovery
A future system must prevent silent takeover by one administrator, vendor or host. Recovery requires declared authority, quorum, evidence, conflict review, reasoned disposition, correction history and an appeal route.
State-failure protection
Registry outage must not extinguish citizenship. New high-consequence actions may pause while status is restored, but existing civil identity remains protected and any deprivation requires correction and reparation.
Do not submit secrets
Never place private keys, recovery shares, memory dumps, model weights, credentials, private addresses or private topology into the public website, public reports or public correspondence.
