<p>Release of version 1.0.1 of the <em>zero-trust-iot</em> library for ns-3 - Build issue due to missing dependencies fixed</p>

<p><strong>Title:</strong> v1.0.0 — First Release of <em>zero-trust-iot</em> module</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> This is the first public release of the <em>zero-trust-iot</em> ns-3 module. The module implements a zero-trust security framework for IoT networks, providing cryptographic authentication, integrity checking, and secure data exchange.</p> <p><strong>Highlights:</strong> Implements zero-trust principles in IoT network simulations. Uses <em>cryptopp</em> for cryptographic operations. Integrates with ns-3.45 core and internet stack. Includes example simulation scripts.</p> <p><strong>Compatibility:</strong> <br /> Tested and verified with ns-3.45.</p> <p><strong>Installation:</strong> See the <a href="https://github.com/the-ns3-programmer/zero-trust-iot">README</a> for setup and usage instructions.</p>

1. Clone the ns-3 mainline code ```bash git clone -b ns-3.45 https://gitlab.com/nsnam/ns-3-dev.git ``` 2. Change into the contrib directory ```bash cd contrib ``` 3. Clone the Zero Trust Simulation Module ```bash git clone https://github.com/the-ns3-programmer/zero-trust-iot.git ``` 4. Configure ns-3 and build it. Ensure [cryptopp](https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp) is installed: ```bash ./ns3 configure --enable-examples --enable-qpp --enable-crypto ``` ```bash ./ns3 build ``` 5. Run the examples by copying it to the scratch folder.
