Introduction to Zero Trust Architecture

As a senior software engineer, you're likely familiar with the concept of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). In a nutshell, ZTA is a security framework that assumes that all users and devices, whether inside or outside an organization's network, are potential threats. This approach has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially with the rise of cloud computing, IoT, and remote work.

The Problem with Traditional Security Models

Traditional security models often rely on a perimeter-based approach, where the network is divided into trusted and untrusted zones. However, this approach has several limitations. For instance, once an attacker gains access to the trusted zone, they can move laterally and access sensitive resources without being detected.

How OpenID Connect 1.0 Fits into Zero Trust Architecture

OpenID Connect 1.0 is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It provides a standardized way for clients to authenticate users and obtain their consent for accessing protected resources. In the context of ZTA, OpenID Connect 1.0 plays a crucial role in verifying the identity of users and devices.
