Practitioner Notes

This enhancement was incorporated into IA-9. It previously addressed ensuring that service identity information is exchanged between services.

Example 1: Include service identity claims in JWT tokens exchanged between your API services so each service can verify the calling service's identity and permissions.

Example 2: Use a service mesh like Istio that automatically handles service identity and mutual TLS between all microservices in your environment.
