Trustus AAM is the End of
Inspection
Structural Defense ensures
Absolute Data Confidentiality.
Cryptographic Identity ensures connection
integrity.
Review the structural comparison:
Feature
Trustus AAM's Approach
Traditional SSL/TLS Inspection
Philosophy
Zero Trust: Authenticate the identity of the sender at the source; never inspect data content centrally.
Trust-but-Verify: Decrypt all traffic at a central proxy to verify its content before re-encrypting.
Authentication Core
Relies on cryptographic Machine Identity (CBA/X.509); the identity is the core authentication.
Relies on tokens/passwords to initiate sessions; decryption/inspection is applied centrally afterwards.
Decryption Point
None: Data remains encrypted end-to-end; traffic is forwarded in its original state.
Central Choke Point: Data is decrypted and held in plaintext on a firewall or proxy.
Data Privacy
Absolute Confidentiality: Data flow content is never inspected or stored in plaintext by Trustus AAM.
Privacy Violation Risk: Decrypted content is exposed in plaintext to internal compromise and regulatory risk.
Security Risk
Low: Data remains encrypted, eliminating the centralized decryption risk entirely.
High: The central decryption device creates a Single Point of Compromise (SPOC).
Experience
Frictionless and Seamless for users and admins; no latency or application breakage.
High latency, complexity, and application failures due to certificate manipulation.
