AP2Shield: Tetti Crittografici di Spesa, Controlli di Velocità Hardware e Ingress PQC

AP2Shield fornisce confini crittografici zero-trust tra applicazioni e piattaforme, attestazione reciproca SPIFFE/SPIRE post-quantistica e sigillatura delle credenziali API, salvaguardando microservizi e cloud dal furto di credenziali e da attacchi di decifrazione retroattiva.

Architectural Layers & Protocols

Application Ingress Boundary (Envoy / NGINX with OpenSSL 3.x PQC Provider): Terminating external application traffic using hybrid X25519MLKEM768 at the cloud perimeter.
Workload Attestation & Identity (SPIFFE / SPIRE with ML-DSA X.509 SVIDs): Authenticating microservices, container workloads, and platform infrastructure with quantum-proof identities.
Internal Service Mesh Plane (Istio Service Mesh with mTLS PQC Sidecars): Encrypting all East-West microservice traffic inside Kubernetes clusters with line-rate post-quantum ciphers.
Platform Credential Sealing (Hardware-Enforced FIPS 203 Secret Vault): Encrypting database passwords, cloud IAM keys, and developer secrets before platform storage.

Key Metrics: < 1.5 ms (Platform Ingress Overhead) | 100% (Internal Microservice Encryption) | Zero-Trust (Workload Attestation Model) | Automated (SVID Identity Credential Rotation)
