Verify explicitly
Evaluate current identity, device, session, and action context.
Verify explicitly, minimize authority, and enforce at the resource.
2AYE applies Zero Trust principles to people, workloads, and agents: no implicit trust, short-lived action-bound authority, and evidence linked to execution.
- Verify explicitly
- Least privilege
- Assume breach
What you can evaluate
From identity verification to protected-resource enforcement.
Least privilege
Grant only the exact material parameters already evaluated.
Assume breach
Keep reusable secrets outside model and workflow context.
Enforce locally
Validate authority where the consequential action executes.
Follow Zero Trust security from identity to evidence.
Each consequential action moves through the same six control points. See where 2AYE evaluates authority, requests human review, and preserves the outcome.
- 01IdentityWho or what is acting
- 02IntentSigned purpose and limits
- 03PolicyDeterministic evaluation
- 04ApprovalA named human when required
- 05ExecutionSingle-use grant, redeemed at the resource
- 06EvidenceReceipt joined to the audit chain
A practical adoption path
Start with one consequential workflow. Prove the boundary before expanding.
Assess
Document the environment, threat model, and integration boundary.
Design
Select protocols, signals, policies, and failure behavior.
Validate
Test vendor-specific APIs, tenant isolation, and abuse paths.
Release
Mark available only after deployed end-to-end verification.
What this includes
- Grants limited to the exact parameters evaluated
- Device posture and access policy at sign-in
- Short-lived, single-use authority
