Development Phases – quantum-tunneler

This roadmap outlines the planned development phases for the quantum-tunneler project.

✅ Phase 1 – Planning and Architecture (completed)

  • Set up workspace with modular crates
  • Define core modules: crypto, ike, ipsec, utils
  • Create initial CLI with basic init command
  • Write base documentation (README, architecture, phases)
  • Prepare no_std compatibility via feature flags

✅ Phase 2 – Post-Quantum Cryptography Integration (completed)

  • Implement Kyber512 (Key Encapsulation Mechanism)
  • Implement Falcon512 (Digital Signature Scheme)
  • Implement Dilithium3 (Digital Signature Scheme)
  • Implement SPHINCS+ (Digital Signature Scheme)
  • Provide generic crypto interfaces (traits)
  • Add unit tests with official test vectors

✅ Phase 3 – IKEv2 Protocol Implementation (completed)

  • Implement IKEv2 Phase 1 (Main Mode)
    • SA_INIT exchange
    • AUTH exchange with post-quantum signatures
  • Implement IKEv2 Phase 2 (Quick Mode)
    • CHILD_SA negotiation
    • Key derivation using Kyber
  • Implement Security Association management
    • SA database
    • SA lifetime management
    • Rekeying procedures

⏭️ Phase 4 – IPSec ESP Implementation

  • Implement ESP header processing
  • Implement tunnel mode encapsulation
  • Add replay protection
  • Implement packet authentication
  • Add SA and security policy management
  • Implement packet fragmentation handling

⏭️ Phase 5 – CLI & Monitoring Interface

  • Add CLI commands:
    • connect - Establish VPN tunnel
    • status - Show tunnel status
    • simulate - Run attack simulations
    • benchmark - Performance testing
  • Support multiple sessions
  • Add real-time tunnel monitoring
  • Implement JSON output format
  • Add structured logging

⏭️ Phase 6 – Benchmarking & Stress Testing

  • Performance evaluation:
    • Handshake speed
    • Tunnel throughput
    • CPU/memory usage
  • Security testing:
    • MITM attack simulation
    • Replay attack testing
    • Forward secrecy verification
  • Comparison with classical IPSec:
    • RSA/ECDH performance
    • Security guarantees
    • Resource usage

⏭️ Phase 7 – Packaging & Publishing

  • Publish core crate to crates.io
  • Generate API documentation via docs.rs
  • Release open-source version on GitHub
  • Publish technical articles
  • Create example applications

🔮 Beyond

  • QUIC protocol integration
  • MicroVM (Firecracker) secure tunnel hosting
  • Web dashboard UI
  • WireGuard-style performance profile
  • Hardware acceleration support
  • Cloud deployment templates
