The Trust Model

The Trust Model is a framework that defines how entities interact securely over a network. It establishes levels of trust based on credentials, roles, or policies, determining what each party can access or perform. Essentially, it ensures that only trusted users or systems can access sensitive information or resources, helping prevent unauthorized actions. This model underpins security practices like authentication and authorization, creating a structured way to verify identities and assign permissions, thereby maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of digital environments.
