MLKEMGuard: 물리적 보안성 보장, 고차 마스킹 및 글리치 내성 디캡슐레이션

MLKEMGuard는 네트워크 경계에서 양자 내성 암호화 위생을 강제하여 기존 암호로의 다운그레이드 공격을 차단하고 고가치 API를 보호하는 엔터프라이즈 에지 보안 어플라이언스 및 소프트웨어 프록시입니다.

MLKEMGuard 시스템 아키텍처

Core cryptographic topology and protocol interaction of mlkemguard.com

Central System: Guard Filter Core - Ingress PQC Inspector

Cryptographic Nodes

  • TLS 1.3 Term
  • Downgrade Block
  • WAF Rules
  • mTLS Mesh
  • eBPF Fast Path

Architectural Layers & Protocols

  • eBPF Packet Steering & Ingress Filter (Kernel-Level XDP (eXpress Data Path)): Inspecting TLS ClientHello messages and steering PQC traffic without user-space context switches
  • Downgrade Protection Engine (Cryptographic Negotiation State Machine): Rejecting handshakes that strip post-quantum key shares when interacting with critical services
  • Application Layer WAF & Policy Controller (Dynamic Context-Aware Ingress Filtering): Inspecting API payloads, sanitizing JWTs, and verifying post-quantum client identities
  • High-Speed Hardware Acceleration Hub (PCIe Cryptographic Accelerator Cards): Offloading ML-KEM polynomial calculations to preserve host CPU cores for application logic

Key Metrics: 0 Fallbacks (Unapproved Classical Downgrades) | <0.2 ms (Proxy Ingress Overhead) | 40 Gbps (Line-Rate Inspection) | Hardware Enforced (Policy Strictness)

엔터프라이즈 엣지에서 프로토콜 다운그레이드 방지하기

During the multi-year transition from classical to post-quantum cryptography, attackers will exploit legacy fallback mechanisms to force connections down to vulnerable RSA or ECDH ciphers. MLKEMGuard strictly enforces quantum-resilient transport policies.
