end to end

Definition

Inter-host communication and data flow transformations, considered in motion and at rest.

1. E2E Security. Inter-host communication must be end-to-end signed/encrypted and data must be stored signed/encrypted. Data is signed/encrypted in motion and at rest.
2. E2E Provenance. Data flow transformations must be end-to-end provenanced using verifiable data items (verifiable data chains or VCs). Every change shall be provenanced.
