Zero Trust Engineering — Network policy drift and verification

/02 About

Networks and environments engineering reference for network policy drift and verification, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Network policy drift and verification. Domain: Networks and environments. Family: assurance. Scenario trigger: Compare observed network enforcement to approved policy. Input assurance: Effective rules, installed configuration and policy registry. Evaluation: Detect rule shadowing, conflicts and effective-path deviations. Governing policy: Network policy conformance and drift remediation policy. Resource-side obligation: Reconcile divergent rules with approved intent. Protected concern: Distributed firewall and connectivity controls. Logical interface: Expected policy hash observed rules conflict severity and closure. Evidence: Policy diff authorization and remediation verification log. Failure: Undocumented exception, rule drift or failed rollback. Required recovery: Quarantine unsafe path and escalate constrained repair. Architectural invariant: Technical conformance must be measured against effective enforced state 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.
