# Overview & Architecture

SuiVerify introduces a streamlined and secure system for on-chain identity verification on the Sui blockchain. The architecture is intentionally simple, relying on just two core smart contracts to man

#### 2-Contract Architecture

The system's logic is split between two distinct contracts, each with a clear responsibility:

**Contract 1: Simple DID Registry (`did_registry.move`)**

* Purpose: This is the primary contract that manages the user-facing verification process. It defines the types of verification available and tracks the status of each user's attempt.
* DID Types: The system uses simple enums to represent different verification types:
  * `DID_AGE_VERIFY` (1): Verifies the user is 18 years or older.
  * `DID_CITIZENSHIP_VERIFY` (2): Verifies the user is an Indian citizen.

**Contract 2: Government Whitelist (`government_whitelist.move`)**

* Purpose: This contract acts as a secure access control layer for sensitive, encrypted user documents (like KYC data).
* Access Control: Only two parties are permitted to decrypt a user's documents:
  1. The document owner (the user themselves).
  2. Pre-approved government addresses for auditing and compliance purposes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://suiverify.gitbook.io/suiverify/audit-and-compliance/overview-and-architecture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
