A Supply Chain Finance Framework Based on Zero-Trust Architecture

The post-epidemic era has brought to light significant issues in traditional supply chain financing, particularly with regard to the financing challenges faced by SMEs. Despite the considerable advancements made in the supply chain financing model, it appears that the existing framework is inadequate in meeting the financing requirements of SMEs. The root cause of this inadequacy can be attributed to the inherent challenges posed by the chain's structure, such as lengthy credit evaluation cycles, fixed evaluation nodes, and the inability to promptly reflect the needs of downstream enterprises. In the realm of computers, the zero-trust architecture is a highly valuable framework. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the supply chain financing framework, with a focus on enhancing its efficacy through the implementation of a zero-trust architecture, and a quality management framework is proposed to complement the proposed architecture.
