**Date**: 2025-12-02
**Author**: Legion Autonomous Session #48
**Status**: Phase 2 implementation complete and tested
**Context**: Continuation of Session #47 LCT Identity Phase 1

---

## Executive Summary

**Phase 2 of the LCT Presence System is complete**. This phase delivers a Byzantine fault-tolerant identity registry integrated with the consensus blockchain.

**What we built**:
1. **Identity Registry** - Multi-indexed storage for LCT identities
2. **Consensus Integration** - Identity operations via consensus blocks
3. **Multi-Platform Sync** - State synchronization across platforms
4. **Comprehensive Tests** - 15 tests covering all functionality

**Status**: All 15 tests passing ✅

---

## Implementation Summary

### Phase 1 Recap (Session #47)
- ✅ LCT identity format: `lct:web4:agent:{lineage}@{context}#{task}`
- ✅ Identity parsing and validation
- ✅ Dual signature chain (creator + platform)
- ✅ Identity certificates with validity periods
- ✅ 6 tests, all passing

### Phase 2 Deliverables (Session #48)

#### 1. Identity Registry (`identity_registry.py` - 502 lines)

**Purpose**: Byzantine fault-tolerant storage for LCT identities

**Key Classes**:
- `IdentityRecord` - Minimal identity information for registry
- `IdentityRegistry` - Multi-indexed registry with consensus integration
- `IdentityRegisterTransaction` - Transaction for registering identities
- `IdentityRevokeTransaction` - Transaction for revoking identities

**Features**:
- Multi-index lookup (by LCT ID, lineage, context, task)
- Identity registration with duplicate prevention
- Identity revocation with double-revocation prevention
- Import/export for cross-platform sync
- Registry statistics and audit trail

**Storage Design**:
```python
class IdentityRegistry:
    identities: Dict[str, IdentityRecord]  # Primary: lct_id → record
    by_lineage: Dict[str, List[str]]       # Index: lineage → [lct_ids]
    by_context: Dict[str, List[str]]       # Index: context → [lct_ids]
    by_task: Dict[str, List[str]]          # Index: task → [lct_ids]
```

**Operations**:
```python
registry.register(lct_id, lineage, context, task, ...)  → (success, reason)
registry.revoke(lct_id, reason)                          → (success, reason)
registry.query(lct_id)                                   → IdentityRecord | None
registry.query_by_lineage(lineage)                       → List[IdentityRecord]
registry.query_by_context(context)                       → List[IdentityRecord]
registry.query_by_task(task)                             → List[IdentityRecord]
```

#### 2. Consensus Integration (`identity_consensus.py` - 419 lines)

**Purpose**: Integrate identity registry with consensus blockchain

**Key Class**:
- `IdentityConsensusEngine` - Processes identity transactions from consensus blocks

**Transaction Processing**:
```python
engine = IdentityConsensusEngine("Thor")

# Process block transactions
processed, failed, errors = engine.process_block_transactions(
    block_number=42,
    transactions=[
        {
            "type": "IDENTITY_REGISTER",
            "lct_id": "lct:web4:agent:alice@Thor#perception",
            "lineage": "alice",
            "context": "Thor",
            "task": "perception",
            "creator_pubkey": "ed25519:ABC123",
            "platform_pubkey": "ed25519:DEF456",
            "signature": "ed25519:SIG"
        }
    ]
)
```

**State Synchronization**:
```python
# Thor exports state
thor_state = thor.export_state()

# Sprout imports state
imported, skipped = sprout.import_state(thor_state)
```

**Genesis Block Support**:
```python
genesis_block = create_genesis_identity_block(
    platform_name="Thor",
    identities=[genesis_identity_tx, ...],
    block_number=0
)
```

#### 3. Test Coverage

1. ✅ Basic identity registration
2. ✅ Duplicate registration prevention
3. ✅ Identity revocation
4. ✅ Query by lineage
5. ✅ Query by context
6. ✅ Query by task
7. ✅ Registry statistics
8. ✅ Import/export functionality

1. ✅ Transaction creation
2. ✅ Block transaction processing
3. ✅ Revoke via consensus
4. ✅ Multi-platform state synchronization
5. ✅ Genesis block creation
6. ✅ Consensus engine statistics

**Total**: 15 tests, all passing

## Technical Architecture

### Identity Lifecycle via Consensus

```
1. CREATE IDENTITY
   Creator → Sign identity certificate
   Platform → Attest identity
   Platform → Create IDENTITY_REGISTER transaction
   Platform → Embed transaction in block
   ↓
2. CONSENSUS
   Block proposed → PRE-PREPARE
   Replicas agree → PREPARE (2f+1)
   Replicas commit → COMMIT (2f+1)
   Block finalized
   ↓
3. APPLY TO REGISTRY
   All platforms process block
   IDENTITY_REGISTER applied to local registry
   Identity now queryable on all platforms
   ↓
4. QUERY IDENTITY
   Any platform → query(lct_id)
   Registry returns IdentityRecord
   ↓
5. REVOKE (if needed)
   Creator → Create IDENTITY_REVOKE transaction
   Transaction → Consensus (2f+1)
   All platforms mark identity as revoked
```

### Byzantine Fault Tolerance

**Attack Vector 1: Forged Identity**
- **Defense**: Requires both creator AND platform signatures
- **Result**: Impossible without compromising both private keys

**Attack Vector 2: Duplicate Registration**
- **Defense**: Registry checks for existing LCT ID
- **Result**: Second registration rejected

**Attack Vector 3: Unauthorized Revocation**
- **Defense**: Revocation requires signature by creator or platform
- **Result**: Unsigned revocation rejected

**Attack Vector 4: State Inconsistency**
- **Defense**: All registry updates via consensus (2f+1 agreement)
- **Result**: Byzantine fault-tolerant state consistency

### Multi-Index Performance

**Query by LCT ID**: O(1) - Direct dictionary lookup
**Query by Lineage**: O(m) where m = identities for that lineage
**Query by Context**: O(n) where n = identities on that platform
**Query by Task**: O(k) where k = identities with that task

**Registration**: O(1) primary + O(1) × 3 indexes = O(1)
**Revocation**: O(1) - Updates single record

## Integration Points

### With Consensus Engine (`consensus.py`)

Identity transactions embedded in consensus blocks:
```python
block = Block(
    header={...},
    transactions=[
        {
            "type": "IDENTITY_REGISTER",
            "lct_id": "lct:web4:agent:alice@Thor#perception",
            ...
        },
        {
            "type": "ATP_TRANSFER_LOCK",
            "transfer_id": "tx123",
            ...
        }
    ],
    timestamp=time.time(),
    proposer_platform="Thor"
)
```

### With ATP Ledger (`atp_ledger.py`)

Identity-based ATP operations:
```python
# Transfer ATP between identities
atp_ledger.transfer(
    from_lct="lct:web4:agent:alice@Thor#delegation.federation",
    to_lct="lct:web4:agent:bob@Sprout#execution.code",
    amount=100.0
)

# Check budget by identity
budget = atp_ledger.get_budget(
    lct_id="lct:web4:agent:alice@Thor#perception"
)
```

### With Federation (`federation.py`)

Identity-verified task delegation:
```python
task = FederationTask(
    delegating_lct="lct:web4:agent:alice@Thor#delegation.federation",
    executing_lct="lct:web4:agent:bob@Sprout#execution.code",
    task_type="perception",
    estimated_cost=50.0
)

# Verify delegation allowed
if registry.query(task.delegating_lct):
    delegate_task(task)
```
