Summary

This PR extends the IIdentityManagerV2 interface with two new external functions — emergencyVerify and revokeVerification.
These additions enhance the administrative control and operational resilience of the identity verification system by introducing emergency verification pathways and explicit verification revocation capabilities.


Changes

🧩 New Functions

1. emergencyVerify(address user, UserType userType, VerificationLevel level)

  • Purpose:
    Provides administrators with a controlled override mechanism to verify users immediately in urgent or exceptional scenarios (e.g., failed proof submissions, compromised verification circuits, or protocol recovery events).

  • Parameters:

    • user — address of the user being verified.
    • userType — classification of the user (e.g., STUDENT, VERIFIER, ADMIN).
    • level — the verification level to assign (e.g., DEVICE, ORB).
  • Expected Behavior:

    • Bypasses standard proof-based verification.
    • Restricted to admin-level access.
    • Emits a UserVerified event for transparency.
    • Used only under special operational or governance-approved conditions.

2. revokeVerification(address user, string calldata reason)

  • Purpose:
    Allows authorized entities (e.g., admins or verifiers) to revoke a user’s existing verification, ensuring integrity when a user’s credentials are compromised or invalidated.

  • Parameters:

    • user — address whose verification is being revoked.
    • reason — textual reason for revocation, aiding on-chain auditability.
  • Expected Behavior:

    • Updates user’s verification record to unverified.
    • Emits a UserVerificationRevoked event with the reason logged.
    • Prevents further access to verification-restricted features until reverified.

Motivation

  • Security: Provides emergency fail-safes for administrative control in critical scenarios.
  • Governance: Enables transparent revocation of user verification with auditability.
  • Resilience: Allows for rapid remediation during system failures or identity breaches.

Implementation Notes

  • Access control should restrict both functions to authorized roles (onlyOwner or governance roles).
  • Consider adding timelocks or cooldowns to emergencyVerify for governance safety.
  • Ensure consistent event emission (UserVerified, UserVerificationRevoked) across all verification pathways.
  • Include NatSpec comments when implementing the logic in the main IdentityManagerV2 contract.

Next Steps

  • ✅ Implement function logic in IdentityManagerV2.sol.
  • ✅ Add role-based access control (onlyAdmin, onlyOwner).
  • ✅ Add comprehensive test coverage for:
    • Successful emergency verifications.
    • Revocation flow with valid and invalid users.
    • Event emission and state update verification.
    • Attempted unauthorized calls.
