Building Zero Trust powered by Envoy and Istio - Mainly working on WAF at OWASP Coraza WAF, leveraging Wasm Envoy extensibility features

Zero Trust Networks with Istio - The thesis aims to study the potential and limitations of the Istio Service Mesh about security functionalities, enforcing the zero-trust principles defined by NIST. To enrich its security capabilities, based on the WebAssembly technology, a C++ Web Application Firewall module with ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set has also been developed.

To enrich its security capabilities, based on the WebAssembly technology, a C++ Web Application Firewall module with ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set has also been developed. Istio has been exploited to centralize its management, configuring and deploying it in a scalable and granular way inside the service mesh. Defense in depth is enhanced, complementing the built-in Istio security features and contributing towards zero-trust networks.Supervisors: Antonio Lioy, Ignazio Pedone. Show less
