Distributed trust is a nebulous concept that has evolved from different perspectives in recent years. While one can attribute its current prominence to blockchain and cryptocurrency, the distributed trust concept has been cultivating…
With the increasing number of connected devices and complex networks involved, current domain-specific security techniques become inadequate for diverse large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) systems applications. While cross-domain…
The Zero-trust (ZT) model is an increasingly popular model that relies on the idea that no trust should be granted to any entity (network, persons, devices) by default. ZT model is gaining attention from both research and practice, with…
The abilities of traditional perimeter-based security architectures are rapidly decreasing as more enterprise assets are moved toward the cloud environment. From a security viewpoint, the Zero Trust framework can better track and block…
Recent cybersecurity events have prompted the federal government to begin investigating strategies to transition to Zero Trust Architectures (ZTA) for federal information systems. Within federated mission networks, ZTA provides measures to…
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face growing cyber threats but often lack the resources and expertise needed to adopt Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). This pilot study examines the drivers and barriers shaping SME perceptions of ZTA…
One of the most promising applications of the IoT is the Smart Grid (SG). Integrating SG's data communications network into the power grid allows gathering and analyzing information from power lines, distribution power stations, and end…
This paper focuses on Zero-Trust Foundation Models (ZTFMs), a novel paradigm that embeds zero-trust security principles into the lifecycle of foundation models (FMs) for Internet of Things (IoT) systems. By integrating core tenets, such as…
The proliferation of autonomous AI agents represents a paradigmatic shift from traditional web architectures toward collaborative intelligent systems requiring sophisticated mechanisms for discovery, authentication, capability verification,…
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the shift from the traditional perimeter model of security to the Zero Trust (ZT) framework, emphasizing the key points in the transition and the practical application of ZT. It outlines the…
Zero-touch network is anticipated to inaugurate the generation of intelligent and highly flexible resource provisioning strategies where multiple service providers collaboratively offer computation and storage resources. This transformation…
Internet-of-things (IoT) is perpetually revolutionizing our daily life and rapidly transforming physical objects into an ubiquitous connected ecosystem. Due to their massive deployment and moderate security levels, those devices face a lot…
Zero-Touch Networks (ZTNs) represent a state-of-the-art paradigm shift towards fully automated and intelligent network management, enabling the automation and intelligence required to manage the complexity, scale, and dynamic nature of…
As the computing landscape evolves towards distributed architectures such as Internet of Things (IoT),enterprises are moving away from traditional perimeter based security models toward so called zero trust networking (ZTN) models that…
To securely control access to systems, the concept of Zero Trust has been proposed. Access Control based on Zero Trust concept removes implicit trust and instead focuses on evaluating trustworthiness at every access request by using…
The computing continuum introduces new challenges for access control due to its dynamic, distributed, and heterogeneous nature. In this paper, we propose a Zero-Trust (ZT) access control solution that leverages decentralized identification…
In modern internet-scale computing, interaction between a large number of parties that are not known a-priori is predominant, with each party functioning both as a provider and consumer of services and information. In such an environment,…
Small-Medium Businesses (SMBs) are essential to global economies yet remain highly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to limited budgets, inadequate cybersecurity expertise, and underestimation of cyber risks. Their increasing reliance on…
Cheating is a real problem in the Internet of Things. The fundamental question that needs to be answered is how we can trust the validity of the data being generated in the first place. The problem, however, isn't inherent in whether or not…
Many systems today distribute trust across multiple parties such that the system provides certain security properties if a subset of the parties are honest. In the past few years, we have seen an explosion of academic and industrial…
