Zero Trust Architecture

SPIFFE - Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone

SPIFFE is a CNCF-graduated open standard for workload identity in dynamic environments. It provides a framework for workloads to authenticate to each other using short-lived cryptographic SVIDs (SPIFFE Verifiable Identity Documents) without static secrets, forming a foundational element of API-centric Zero Trust implementations.
