identity-identifiers

External identifiers for parties (passport, SSN, microchip, tax ID, etc.)

What it is for

# identity-identifiers

External identifier library crates for attaching IDs to any party.

Core Concepts

• Generic FK pattern: Attach identifiers to any party using party_type + party_id
• Multiple identifiers per party: Animals can have microchip AND tattoo AND registry
• Verification tracking: Track if an identifier has been verified
• Expiration support: Handle IDs that expire (passports, licenses)

Example

use identity_identifiers::{Identifier, IdentifierType, PartyId, PartyType};

// Create a microchip identifier for an animal
let microchip = Identifier::new(
PartyType::Animal,
PartyId::new_v4(),
IdentifierType::Microchip,
"985141404123456",
)
.with_issuer("AVID")
.verified();

// Create a passport for a person
let passport = Identifier::new(
PartyType::Person,
PartyId::new_v4(),
IdentifierType::Passport,
"AB1234567",
)
.with_issuer("US Department of State")
.with_country("US")
.with_expiry(chrono::Utc::now() + chrono::Duration::days(3650));

Capabilities

repo (other)

Repository functions for identifier models.

How to use it

From this crate's own rustdoc:

use identity_identifiers::{Identifier, IdentifierType, PartyId, PartyType};

// Create a microchip identifier for an animal
let microchip = Identifier::new(
    PartyType::Animal,
    PartyId::new_v4(),
    IdentifierType::Microchip,
    "985141404123456",
)
.with_issuer("AVID")
.verified();

// Create a passport for a person
let passport = Identifier::new(
    PartyType::Person,
    PartyId::new_v4(),
    IdentifierType::Passport,
    "AB1234567",
)
.with_issuer("US Department of State")
.with_country("US")
.with_expiry(chrono::Utc::now() + chrono::Duration::days(3650));

Module structure

• repo

Public surface

`repo`

Re-exports. Exported here, defined elsewhere.

Boundary

Reaches into foundation.

Shares tier identity with 7 other crates: identity-auth, identity-impersonation, identity-parties, identity-party-places, identity-rbac, identity-tenant, identity-user-prefs.

_What this crate deliberately does NOT own is a judgment. No committed registry records one for it, so none is stated here._

Targets

Error model

No public error type was detected: no public item declares a type named *Error, and no public signature returns one.

Operational characteristics

No unsafe block, unsafe fn, unsafe impl or unsafe trait was found by the parser anywhere in this crate's source.

Configuration

No environment variable is read with a literal name anywhere in this crate. A variable whose key is computed at run time cannot be listed here, and is not claimed to be absent.

Related capabilities

1 workspace crate depends on this one: application-identifiers.

Verification

Evidence by module. How often each public module is named by something executable.
