SDIS Implementation Plan for ICN

Status: Phase S1-S6 Complete (Security Audit Ready) Created: 2025-12-10 Target: Full SDIS integration into ICN substrate

Executive Summary

This plan integrates the Sovereign Digital Identity System (SDIS) specification into ICN's existing infrastructure. The integration leverages ICN's actor-based architecture, gossip protocol, trust graph, and governance primitives while adding:

• Hybrid cryptography (Ed25519 + ML-DSA post-quantum)
• Anchor/KeyBundle separation for recoverable identity
• Steward network for physical verification
• Zero-knowledge proofs for selective disclosure
• Tiered credential presentation (QR → NFC → Network)

Total Duration: 32-40 weeks (8-10 months) New Crates: 6 Modified Crates: 8
