core-identity-and-trust-architecture

Zero-trust architecture for service-to-service communication is established by enforcing mTLS and signed JWTs, ensuring trust is never implicitly assumed within the system. This prevents lateral movement and unauthorized access between services.

JWT token lifecycle management is handled by enforcing best practices for token issuance, validation, rotation, and revocation. This approach ensures secure and reliable identity management while protecting against token-based vulnerabilities.

OAuth and OIDC flows are hardened by implementing PKCE, state validation, and targeted security measures. This mitigates common vulnerabilities and ensures reliable authorization patterns within your system.

RBAC, ABAC, and scope-based authorization patterns are fully supported in Node.js and TypeScript environments. The implementation requires these specific environments to execute and enforce strong authorization rules.

Zero-trust principles are needed for secure identity management to ensure that trust is never implicitly assumed within the system. This protects against various threats by continuously validating service-to-service trust and authorization.

The primary limitation is the strict requirement for TypeScript and Node.js environments for execution. Systems outside this tech stack cannot directly apply these specific token lifecycle rules and authorization patterns.
