| TITLE | Zero Trust Architecture: Never Trust, Always Verify |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has significantly increased cybersecurity risks due to weak authentication mechanisms, centralized trust models, and limited device security capabilities. Traditional perimeter-based security approaches are insufficient to protect distributed IoT environments from threats such as device impersonation, unauthorized access, data tampering, and privacy breaches. The objective of this project is to design a Blockchain-Enabled Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) framework that ensures secure, decentralized, and privacy-preserving communication in IoT ecosystems. The proposed methodology integrates blockchain technology with Zero Trust principles to eliminate implicit trust and enforce continuous authentication and authorization. A permissioned blockchain network is used to store tamper-proof device identities and access logs, while smart contracts automate policy enforcement. Zero Trust mechanisms such as least-privilege access, continuous monitoring, and strict identity verification are implemented. Additionally, encryption and cryptographic hashing techniques are applied to protect sensitive data. |
