Trustless SSL certificate lifecycle management in multi-cloud ecosystems

The emergence of multi-cloud ecosystems has created unique possibilities, as well as significant issues in securing online digital communications. One of the fundamental foundations for securing internet transactions is the infrastructure of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. As digital systems begin to decentralize and distribute across multi-cloud workloads, the trust framework used in managing systems of issuing SSL risk management certificate were very traditional processes. This research project intended to investigate a trustless model for SSL certificate lifecycle management, featuring the integration of new technologies including blockchain technologies, data mesh architectures, and self-sovereign identity (SSI) systems. Through examining current vulnerabilities, studying the latest security paradigms, and proposing a decentralized model, this research proposes a potential future for resilience, privacy, and scaling in multi-cloud.
