ZTrust employs authentication protocols that necessitate cryptographic signatures and encryption.
It utilizes asymmetric Key pairs, consisting of a private key and a public key, to fulfill this requirement. Although only one key pair is actively used at any moment for generating new signatures, there are multiple passive key pairs available for verifying previous signatures. This facilitates smooth key rotation without affecting users or causing any downtime.
