SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Implements zero-trust networking and authentication for ValueOS agent communication, enforcing mutual TLS and service-mesh patterns to secure inter-agent communication.

Core Features & Use Cases

Mutual TLS across all 18 ValueOS agents to prevent impersonation and credential leakage.
Istio-based service mesh configuration with strict peer authentication, authorization policies, routing, and destination rules.
Certificate management and observability integrations to monitor health, traffic, and security posture for agent-to-agent communications.

Quick Start

Apply the zero-trust service mesh manifests to your Kubernetes cluster to enable mTLS between all ValueOS agents.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce mTLS across all services in a Kubernetes cluster?▼

To enforce mTLS across services in a Kubernetes cluster, you apply Istio-based zero-trust service mesh manifests. This secures inter-agent communication by issuing certificates and applying strict peer authentication policies to prevent impersonation.

What is zero-trust service mesh networking for inter-service communication?▼

Zero-trust service mesh networking secures inter-service communication by enforcing mutual TLS and strict authorization policies. It requires every agent to authenticate and verify its identity before sending or receiving traffic, preventing credential leakage.

How do I configure Istio authorization policies and destination rules for agent traffic?▼

Configuring Istio authorization policies and destination rules involves applying manifests that define role-based access controls and routing. This restricts inter-agent traffic to only authenticated and explicitly authorized connections within the mesh.

Does this zero-trust service mesh configuration support certificate management and observability?▼

Yes, the zero-trust service mesh configuration supports certificate management and observability. It provisions CA and issued certificates for mTLS while integrating monitoring configurations to track traffic health and security posture across agents.

Can I use Istio peer authentication to secure communication between multiple ValueOS agents?▼

Yes, you can secure communication between multiple ValueOS agents using Istio peer authentication. The mesh enforces strict mutual TLS across all 18 agents, ensuring all inter-agent traffic is securely authenticated and encrypted.

When do I need to apply zero-trust service mesh manifests to my Kubernetes cluster?▼

You need to apply zero-trust service mesh manifests when securing unauthenticated inter-agent communication in Kubernetes. This is required when preventing impersonation and credential leakage through strict mTLS and role-based security policies.
