# Zero Trust Architecture
## Indicio enhances Zero Trust architecture by providing a more robust identity layer
By using verifiable credentials, Indicio is able to issue secure decentralized digital identities to your users that allow them to cryptographically prove their identity for fast, trusted access to systems and applications they need inside your Zero Trust environment.
## Organization benefits
* Increase security with phishing-proof verifiable credentials: unlike passwords or physical keys, these credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or copied.
* Fight fraud and reduce data breaches by removing the reliance on centralized databases for sensitive identity information.
* Easily manage access and assign roles across your organization.
* Provide a better experience for your users with fast and secure access to the information they need.
* Protect your systems and staff from deepfakes and fraud with mutual authentication, establishing a two-way online verification process before sharing sensitive information.
## User benefits
* Access the applications you need with less time spent on identity and document verification.
* Reduce identity theft and impersonation attempts with secure digital identification that cannot be copied by bad actors.
* Eliminate time-consuming multi-factor authentication.
* Fast, simple, and easy to use, these credentials can contain all the information needed to prove identification across your organization and partner organizations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.indicio.tech/product/introduction/use-cases/zero-trust-architecture.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
