Zero Trust Engineering — Distributed trace and correlation architecture

/02 About

Visibility and analytics engineering reference for distributed trace and correlation architecture, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Distributed trace and correlation architecture. Domain: Visibility and analytics. Family: assurance. Scenario trigger: Correlate related security operations across services. Input assurance: Trace and span IDs, service identity and event chronology. Evaluation: Resolve causal relationship across asynchronous boundaries. Governing policy: Trace context integrity, propagation and retention policy. Resource-side obligation: Produce verified end-to-end security transaction timeline. Protected concern: Enterprise security trace graph. Logical interface: Trace ID span relation service caller timestamp and context signature. Evidence: Correlated request decision and enforcement trace evidence. Failure: Broken trace linkage or forged correlation context. Required recovery: Mark uncertain causality and request independent telemetry. Architectural invariant: Correlation identifiers cannot substitute for authenticated causal evidence 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.
