Asokan pillars

Asokan pillars are four foundational principles that promote trustworthiness in digital security systems, especially in public key infrastructures. They include: 1) Policy: Clear rules governing the system’s operation; 2) Technology: Reliable security technologies to enforce policies; 3) Process: Proper procedures for implementation and maintenance; and 4) Stakeholders: Engaged and responsible participants ensuring system integrity. Together, these pillars help create trustworthy digital environments by aligning technical, procedural, and organizational aspects, ensuring that users and services can securely communicate and verify identities.
