Abstract

As digital ecosystems expand and APIs become the backbone of modern communication, traditional security models that rely on static credentials and fixed perimeters are increasingly inadequate. ZERO-OAUTH introduces an innovative approach by merging advanced OAuth architectures with zero trust principles, thus reimagining API security for today’s threat landscape. This framework leverages dynamic token management, context-aware policies, and granular access controls to continuously verify and authorize every access request, irrespective of network origin.
