7 Recommendations to ensure a Zero Trust Policy

The zero-trust policy is a data sharing model that follows the "Do not trust" policy. According to this method, devices, users, and applications within or outside a particular network set by a company's security professional are not deemed trustworthy. Compared to the castle and moat model, the zero-trust policy is more efficient and protects the valuable asset of a company. To enter a particular network assigned by the professionals, a device must follow security authentication steps to be labeled trustworthy. With the zero-trust model, companies can monitor access control and see the transfer of data from point A to point B, which can safeguard the data.

To ensure a Zero Trust Policy, it is recommended to use the following cyber security protocols, practices, certificates:

1. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a set of protocols and practices designed to ensure secure electronic transactions between parties using digital signatures. PKI uses asymmetric cryptography to provide authentication and encryption services. A private/public key pair is generated and distributed to users. Users authenticate themselves to each other by digitally signing messages with their private keys. Encryption is performed using the public keys.

2. Certificate Authority (CA)

Certificate authorities issue certificates to organizations and individuals. These certificates bind the identity of the organization or individual to its public key. CAs are trusted third-party entities that validate identities and sign certificates.

3. Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA)

Digital signature algorithms are mathematical techniques for generating digital signatures. DSA was developed by NIST and RSA Security Inc. DSA is based on the concept of public key cryptography.

4. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a type of public key cryptosystem that uses elliptic curves over finite fields. ECC provides security similar to RSA, while being faster than RSA.

5. X.509 v3 Certificates

X.509 v3 certificates are standards for public key infrastructure. X.509 v2 certificates were widely used until they were superseded by X.509 v3. X.509 v1 certificates have been deprecated since 1999.

6. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Secure sockets layer (SSL) is a protocol for establishing a secure communication channel between two computers. SSL encrypts data sent across the network.

7. Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Transport layer security (TLS) is a communications protocol that establishes a connection between two hosts. TLS is commonly used to establish secure connections via the Internet.
