Zero Trust Engineering — Network and transaction-flow discovery

/02 About

Networks and environments engineering reference for network and transaction-flow discovery, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Network and transaction-flow discovery. Domain: Networks and environments. Family: assurance. Scenario trigger: Observe request and response traffic between enterprise resources. Input assurance: Authenticated traffic metadata, source identity and temporal flows. Evaluation: Infer sanctioned service dependencies and uncertain relationships. Governing policy: Traffic observation classification and data minimization policy. Resource-side obligation: Publish validated directional flow inventory for policy review. Protected concern: Enterprise network dependency catalog. Logical interface: Flow source destination principal service protocol time and confidence. Evidence: Source destination service identity protocol and flow lineage. Failure: Blind spot, spoofed telemetry or unidentified workload. Required recovery: Flag discovery gap and require alternate authenticated evidence. Architectural invariant: Observed connectivity is evidence of usage, not proof of authorization 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.
