10 Steps to a Zero-Trust Network Using Distributed Ledger Technology

Does the path to full Zero Trust Networks where every transaction can be verified go through Distributed Ledgers?

Follow these steps for a zero-trust network

1. I trust the consensus protocol - know the protocol
2. I trust the validators (nodes)
3. I trust the actors I’m going to invite to my network
4. I pay for their account on my network
5. I invite them into my network
6. I signed the public key for their account – I’m my own CA
7. I know that they know how to protect their private key
8. I know that every transaction they make is signed by their private key that is tied to their account
9. I continue to pay for their accounts on the network
10. I do all this from my iPhone or hardware wallet
