Documented relation
Workload identity can be implemented with SPIFFE.
Relation classTechnical dependency
One component, control, identity layer, interface or system capability depends on or is constrained by another.
Inference prohibited
A documented dependency does not prove that the component is sufficient for security, compliance, reliability or system effectiveness.
Evidence
What supports this relation.
Record context
SPIFFE
A standard for issuing verifiable identities to workloads.
Questions before professional use
Where does this dependency apply in the proposed system, and who can demonstrate its control? The presence of one component does not establish control of the whole system.
