Core engineering and protocols for SPIFFE/SPIRE Post-Quantum Identity.
Zero-trust architecture mandates that every microservice must authenticate itself cryptographically before communicating. SPIFFE (Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone) establishes workload identity through short-lived X.509 certificates. MLKEMSecurity modernizes SPIRE servers to issue dual-algorithm or pure post-quantum SVIDs across multi-cloud environments.
Because post-quantum public keys and signatures are larger than classical ECC keys, efficient memory management and network scheduling are vital during high-frequency rotation. Our SPIRE plugin architecture batches SVID distribution, achieving sub-second rotation for tens of thousands of pods simultaneously.
