Zero Trust Engineering — Service-to-service authorization

/02 About

Applications and workloads engineering reference for service-to-service authorization, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Service-to-service authorization. Domain: Applications and workloads. Family: decision. Scenario trigger: Evaluate scoped service invocation. Input assurance: Authenticated caller, API operation, resource and delegated context. Evaluation: Evaluate operation-specific permission and purpose constraints. Governing policy: Least-privilege service call and delegation policy. Resource-side obligation: Admit bounded service operation or explicitly reject. Protected concern: Protected inter-service operation. Logical interface: Caller target method object scope context decision and obligation. Evidence: Service policy outcome request correlation and privilege evidence. Failure: Transitive privilege amplification or unscoped service grant. Required recovery: Deny operation and re-evaluate delegation authority. Architectural invariant: Authentication of a service is insufficient authorization of its actions 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.
