Architecture

Structured view of the system under research and design. Capabilities are described as roadmap items, not current production claims.

• Programmable Gateway Layer

  API and traffic gateway built on YARP and .NET 8. Request routing, TLS termination, and policy hooks at the edge. Designed for Kubernetes and hybrid deployment.

• Threat Intelligence Engine

  Ingestion and correlation of signals from multiple sources. Structured for federated and privacy-preserving sharing. Research focus on real-time enrichment and confidence scoring.

• Distributed Control Plane

  Orchestration of policy and configuration across edge and core. State reconciliation, versioning, and rollback. Aligned with control-plane best practices for availability and consistency.

• Edge WASM Runtime

  WASM-based execution for policy and extension logic. Multi-tenant sandboxing with WASMtime. Enables portable, safe code at the edge without vendor lock-in.

• Federated Learning Loop

  Aggregation of model updates and threat intelligence across tenants without centralizing raw data. Research track for privacy-preserving collaboration.

• Autonomous Policy Optimization

  Reinforcement learning and optimization for policy tuning. Feedback from outcomes to improve containment and reduce false positives. Presented as a research roadmap aligned to a 20-stage blueprint.
