Auth* Models

ZTAuth* defines an authorization model and a trust model — collectively referred to as auth* models. These models are designed in alignment with the core principles of Zero Trust and form the foundation of the ZTAuth* protocol.

Each auth* model MUST satisfy the following properties:

• Model-Compliant: The model MUST adhere to the defined schema and contain only valid and well-formed data structures.
• Transferable: The model MUST be portable across systems and locations without loss of integrity or fidelity.
• Versionable and Immutable: The model MUST support immutable versioning, allowing any revision to be identified, verified, and reviewed at any point in time.
• Resilient to Disconnection: The model MUST remain available in offline scenarios and MUST support asynchronous synchronization to maintain consistency. This implies conformance to an eventual consistency model.
