Zero Trust Engineering — API security and request mediation

/02 About

Applications and workloads engineering reference for api security and request mediation, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: API security and request mediation. Domain: Applications and workloads. Family: decision. Scenario trigger: Receive external or internal API request. Input assurance: Caller assertions, schema version and normalized input. Evaluation: Verify method, schema, authorization and malicious payload exposure. Governing policy: API access, input validation and abuse-prevention policy. Resource-side obligation: Apply authenticated request mediation and schema constraints. Protected concern: Protected application interface. Logical interface: API method resource schema identity authorization and rejection. Evidence: Validated API request decision rate and error audit. Failure: Malformed input, injection or abusive request sequence. Required recovery: Reject request and enforce rate or isolation restrictions. Architectural invariant: Untrusted API input must never directly become an authoritative action Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
