The fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks starts a paradigm shift from the traditional monolithic system design to a Service Based Architecture, that fits modern performance requirements and scales efficiently to new services. This…
We propose a simple protocol for Service Mesh management. The protocol specification consists of the formats of messages, and the actions taken by senders and recipients. The idea is that microservices of Cloud-Native Application should be…
In IoT, smart sensors enable data collection, real-time monitoring, decision-making, and automation, but their proliferation exposes them to cybersecurity threats. Zero Trust Architecture enhances IoT security by challenging conventional…
With the rapidly evolving next-generation systems-of-systems, we face new security, resilience, and operational assurance challenges. In the face of the increasing attack landscape, it is necessary to cater to efficient mechanisms to verify…
Data leaks and breaches are on the rise. They result in huge losses of money for businesses like the movie industry, as well as a loss of user privacy for businesses dealing with user data like the pharmaceutical industry. Preventing data…
Financial institutions increasingly rely on distributed architectures, open banking APIs, cloud native infrastructures, and high frequency digital transactions. These transformations expand the attack surface and expose limitations in…
The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly actively making it imperative to develop sound frameworks to protect the IT structures. Based on this introduction, this paper aims to discuss the application of cybersecurity frameworks into…
Trust, security, and privacy are three of the major pillars to assemble the fifth generation network and beyond. Despite such pillars are principally interconnected, they arise a multitude of challenges to be addressed separately. 5G ought…
Cloud services have turned remote computation into a commodity and enable convenient online collaboration. However, they require that clients fully trust the service provider in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Towards…
The increasing complexity of digital ecosystems and evolving cybersecurity threats have highlighted the limitations of traditional perimeter-based security models, leading to the growing adoption of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). ZTA…
By virtue of technology and benefit advantages, cloud computing has increasingly attracted a large number of potential cloud consumers (PCC) plan to migrate the traditional business to the cloud service. However, trust has become one of the…
As future tasks in networked systems are increasingly relying on collaborative execution among distributed devices, trust has become an essential tool for securing both reliable collaborators and task-specific resources. However, the…
Cloud computing platform gives people the opportunity for sharing resources, services and information among the people of the whole world. In private cloud system, information is shared among the persons who are in that cloud. Presently,…
As autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) proliferate in high-stakes domains -- from pharmaceuticals to legal workflows -- the challenge is no longer just intelligence, but verifiability. We introduce TrustTrack, a…
Current network security systems are a collection of various security components, which are directly installed in the operating system. These check the whole node for suspicious behaviour. Armouring intrusions e.g. have the ability to hide…
Service mesh is a fundamental technology for building cloud-native applications, which ensures the stable running of a large number of services by an intermediate layer that governs communication between services. However, service mesh is…
Confidential computing protects data in use within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), but current TEEs provide little support for secure communication between components. As a result, pipelines of independently developed and deployed…
Context. Service-oriented architecture and its microservice-based approach increase an attack surface of applications. Exposed microservices become a pivot point for advanced persistent threats and completely change the threat landscape.…
Trust is of paramount concern for tenants to deploy their security-sensitive services in the cloud. The integrity of VMs in which these services are deployed needs to be ensured even in the presence of powerful adversaries with…
This paper introduces the Identity Control Plane (ICP), an architectural framework for enforcing identity-aware Zero Trust access across human users, workloads, and automation systems. The ICP model unifies SPIFFE-based workload identity,…
