Zero Trust Engineering — Network policy decision and distribution

/02 About

Networks and environments engineering reference for network policy decision and distribution, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Network policy decision and distribution. Domain: Networks and environments. Family: exchange. Scenario trigger: Publish approved network policy revision. Input assurance: Signed policy bundle, effective scope and enforcer inventory. Evaluation: Verify policy consistency, precedence and target applicability. Governing policy: Network policy versioning and staged rollout policy. Resource-side obligation: Distribute rules with acknowledgement and bounded propagation. Protected concern: Distributed network enforcement points. Logical interface: Policy bundle revision scope activation acknowledgement and rollback. Evidence: Policy hash activation acknowledgements and drift metrics. Failure: Partial distribution or divergent policy revisions. Required recovery: Roll back unsafe rule set and reconcile lagging enforcers. Architectural invariant: Enforced policy state must converge to an approved identifiable version 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.
