Trustus AAM
One-to-One Path – Decentralized Access
Traditional CBA
Token Exchange – Centralized Access
Source-Initiated Identity Verification
The user's endpoint certificate acts as the direct catalyst for identification.
Source authentication
The process uses the user's certificate for the initial identity check.
Continuous, Direct Connection
The validated certificate is used to identify the source and maintain a continuous, direct connection to the target application via the Trustus Privacy Bridge.
The Transition
The authenticated certificate is immediately exchanged for a session token to manage the user's access session.
Unphishable Identity
Your access is governed by the persistent,
unphishable machine identity, not by a breakable token.
The Consequences
This architectural shift breaks the continuous link to the persistent machine identity.
Strategic Outcome
This process secures Sovereign Access for your enterprise.
The Risk
It reintroduces dependency on a centralized authentication and access system, creating a potential Single Point of Failure (SPOF).
