scripts/ztp_workflow.py

'''
This script outlines a conceptual Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) workflow for a 5G Radio Node (gNB)
_in an O-RAN architecture. It simulates the process of a gNB automatically authenticating and
_connecting to a centralized cloud core upon power-on.

_**Disclaimer:** This is a simplified, conceptual model for illustrative purposes and does not contain
_production-ready code. It uses placeholders for actual network endpoints, credentials, and
_cryptographic functions.
