01
Establish identity and scope
Identify protected Endlets, internal services, untrusted transit, NOAN infrastructure; validate participating Endlets before admission.
Military & Defense
Reduced network exposure · Architecture
Map the service path for reduced network exposure.
Reduce exposure of internal addressing, topology, endpoint identity, and service relationships across untrusted transit.
Primary capability
Network Abstraction
How it works
Trace the protected service path from admission to evidence.
Reduce externally observable infrastructure and service context across untrusted networks.
02
Build the protected service path
protected endpoint → abstracted fabric identity → encrypted transport via policy-approved infrastructure → protected service
03
Capture decision evidence
Review externally observable addresses and metadata, allowed service reachability, route abstraction, identity state, and policy logs with the responsible teams.
Architecture flow
Trace the protected service path and its control points.
