Definition ∞ Zero trust computation is a security model where no user, device, or application is inherently trusted, regardless of its location inside or outside a network boundary. Every access request is verified based on strict authentication and authorization policies. In digital assets, this applies to secure execution environments where trust is minimized and continuously validated. This model assumes perpetual threat.
Context ∞ The principle of zero trust computation is increasingly important in blockchain security, particularly for protecting sensitive operations within smart contracts or off-chain computation environments. Its implementation helps mitigate risks from compromised internal systems or malicious actors. It ensures data integrity and transactional security in decentralized networks.
