Secure Transport

Transport Architecture, In Production

AegisWire runs a purpose-built secure transport layer with deterministic wire discipline, anti-replay protection, roaming session continuity, stream multiplexing, and packet-level metadata privacy. Key exchange uses a hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 construction covering both classical and post-quantum threat models simultaneously. Post-compromise security ratchets session keys automatically. This is the operating platform — not a roadmap item.

Session & Mobility

Available Now

UDP-Based Secure Transport

Production transport built on UDP with a custom session model. Not a WireGuard wrapper. Not inherited protocol defaults.

Stream-Multiplexed Sessions

Multiple isolated data streams over a single connection. Independent flow control and security boundaries per stream.

Roaming & Session Migration

Sessions survive network changes without reconnection. Handles mobile transitions, Wi-Fi/cellular handoff, and connectivity interruptions.

Replay & State Protection

Available Now

Anti-Replay Protection

Replay attack prevention at the protocol level. Every packet carries replay-resistant state. Duplicate and out-of-window packets are rejected.

Deterministic Wire Discipline

Predictable state transitions, bounded message sizes, strict validation rules. The protocol behaves identically under review and in production.

Anti-Amplification Controls

The transport rejects unauthenticated traffic that could be used for amplification attacks. Connection establishment requires proof of origin before resource commitment. This is implemented and enforced in all deployment modes.

Privacy & Observability Boundaries

Available Now
  • Packet-level privacy

    Header protection prevents metadata exposure at the wire level

  • Per-stream PCS

    Post-compromise security operates per stream, limiting blast radius of any key compromise

  • Post-quantum key establishment

    Hybrid key exchange using post-quantum algorithms protects sessions against future quantum decryption

  • Metadata-only telemetry

    Operational observability uses metadata signals, not content inspection

Noise-Inspired, But Broader

AegisWire draws on modern authenticated-session design principles but is not a Noise implementation. It extends that foundation into multi-stream transport governance, mobility-aware session behavior, signed policy continuity, and a complete operational trust architecture.

Not a protocol wrapper. A purpose-built platform with its own session model, wire discipline, and operational trust story.

Why Packet-0 Privacy Matters

Payload encryption alone does not solve the whole problem. Early-session privacy matters because exposure during setup and routing happens before a session is fully established — before higher-level controls can compensate.

AegisWire treats metadata during connection setup as part of the security problem, not an afterthought.

Why PQ + PCS Together

Most transport stories mention post-quantum algorithms or session resilience in isolation. PQ transition readiness addresses future decryption of today's traffic. PCS addresses security posture after a key compromise within a running session.

AegisWire positions both as part of one coherent long-horizon security architecture — not separate feature checkboxes.

Security Properties in Operation

All of the following are implemented and enforced across all deployment modes.

Hybrid Post-Quantum Key Exchange

X25519 + ML-KEM-768 construction. Both classical and post-quantum threat models addressed simultaneously at session establishment.

Per-Stream Post-Compromise Security

Session keys ratchet automatically per stream. A compromised key limits exposure to material derived before the compromise.

Anti-Replay Protection

Sequence-windowed rejection at the protocol level. Duplicate and out-of-window packets are discarded without processing.

Anti-Amplification Controls

Proof-of-origin required before resource commitment. Unauthenticated traffic is rejected before session state is allocated.

Deterministic Wire Behavior

Predictable state transitions, bounded message sizes, strict validation rules. Identical behavior under audit review and in production.

Session Migration & Roaming

Sessions survive network changes — mobile handoff, Wi-Fi/cellular transition — without reconnection or session teardown.

Packet-Level Metadata Privacy

Header protection from the first packet. Metadata exposure during connection setup is treated as part of the security problem.

Privacy-Safe Observability

Operational telemetry uses metadata signals only. No content inspection. No payload logging. This is the production default.

Current Platform Status

All transport, session, replay protection, privacy, PCS, post-quantum, trust, policy, and observability capabilities described on this page are implemented and operating in production deployments.

Available: Hardware appliance for customer-controlled edge enforcement is now available.
