It's FirewallD that introduces the zone concept. FirewallD is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the network has been authenticated before
it switches to a zone that assumes an isolated and friendly network. Of
course FirewallD can delegate the authentication to another program,
but simply stating that FirewallD is not responsible doesn't answer the
question.
