📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable TLS, mTLS, cipher, protocol, and ECDH curve settings across the controller, Envoy, and policy engine. It adds optional REST and admin TLS listeners, certificate wiring, xDS identity authorization, ADS-based SDS configuration, runtime TLS transport settings, and PQC fallback guidance.

Changes

Gateway TLS and xDS security

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway TLS configuration and Envoy translation
gateway/configs/*, gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/config/*, gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/xds/*, gateway/gateway-runtime/Dockerfile, gateway/Makefile
Gateway TLS settings add protocol, cipher, and ECDH curve validation. Controller xDS uses mTLS settings and identity allowlists. Envoy receives upstream and downstream curve lists. SDS uses ADS without a dedicated SDS cluster.
xDS mTLS configuration and identity authorization
gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/tlsauth/*, gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/policyxds/server.go, gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/xds/server.go, gateway/gateway-controller/cmd/controller/main.go
The controller and policy xDS servers accept mTLS options, verify client certificates, reject unauthorized identities, and apply gRPC message and stream limits. Invalid xDS TLS configuration terminates startup.

REST and policy-engine admin TLS

Layer / File(s) Summary
REST and admin TLS listeners
gateway/gateway-controller/cmd/controller/server_tls.go, gateway/gateway-controller/cmd/controller/main.go, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/config/*, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/admin/*, gateway/docker-compose.yaml
The controller REST API and policy-engine admin server support optional TLS listeners. Validation covers credentials, protocol versions, ciphers, curves, and port conflicts. TLS listeners start beside plaintext listeners and shut down gracefully. Tests cover hybrid negotiation, classical fallback, protocol limits, cipher selection, and invalid settings.

Runtime xDS TLS wiring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime xDS TLS wiring
gateway/gateway-runtime/docker-entrypoint.sh, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/*, gateway/gateway-runtime/router/config/*, gateway/distribution/docker-compose.yaml, gateway/docker-compose.debug.yaml, gateway/configs/config-template.toml
Runtime configuration passes xDS certificates, ciphers, and ECDH curves to Envoy and the policy engine. Envoy can use a generated TLS transport socket or retain plaintext. Distribution files mount the xDS certificates and configure separate Envoy and policy-engine identities.

Configurable PQC fallback guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configurable PQC fallback guidance
.claude/rules/js-post-quantum-cryptography.md, .claude/rules/post-quantum-cryptography.md
The guidance documents configuration-gated hybrid PQC, classical fallback for legacy peers, hybrid TLS curve ordering, and negotiated-mode visibility.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 26371

This PR changes TLS, certificate, curve, and PQC behavior but still permits plaintext administrative access, can silently omit an enabled secure listener, lacks connection/resource limits, and may fail against classical-only peers or unsupported runtimes. These security, availability, and compatibility risks should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merging.

84-97: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider rejecting TLS1_0 and TLS1_1 for the admin listener.

ValidateAdminTLSVersions accepts TLS1_0 and TLS1_1 as a minimum version. Both protocols are deprecated. The admin listener serves /config_dump and the pprof endpoints, so a downgraded floor weakens a sensitive surface. The default of TLS1_2 is correct, but an operator can still configure a weaker floor.

Set the accepted floor to TLS1_2 for this listener, or document why the router's wider vocabulary is reused here.

Add a case for the metrics/admin TLS port conflict.

The table covers the admin.port and server.extproc_port conflicts. It does not cover the new check in gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/config/config.go at Lines 786-788, which rejects metrics.port == admin.tls.port. That branch requires metrics.enabled = true, so no existing case reaches it.

Replace the fixed readiness sleeps with a readiness poll.

Each new TLS test waits 100 * time.Millisecond after Start before the first request. The TLS listener binds inside a goroutine, so the wait is a guess. On a loaded CI machine these tests fail with connection-refused rather than a real assertion failure.

Extract one helper that dials the port until it accepts, with a bounded deadline, and use it in all five tests.

♻️ Proposed helper
// waitForListener blocks until addr accepts a TCP connection or the deadline passes.
func waitForListener(t *testing.T, port int) {
	t.Helper()
	deadline := time.Now().Add(5 * time.Second)
	for time.Now().Before(deadline) {
		conn, err := net.DialTimeout("tcp", fmt.Sprintf("127.0.0.1:%d", port), 100*time.Millisecond)
		if err == nil {
			conn.Close()
			return
		}
		time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond)
	}
	t.Fatalf("listener on port %d did not become ready", port)
}

Then replace each time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond) with waitForListener(t, plainPort) and waitForListener(t, tlsPort).

Check the Close errors on both PEM files.

golangci-lint errcheck flags the unchecked certOut.Close and keyOut.Close. The deferred Close also hides a flush error, which would leave a truncated PEM file and produce a confusing handshake failure instead of a clear helper failure.

Close the response body on the discarded return value.

golangci-lint bodyclose flags Line 613. The handshake is expected to fail, so resp is normally nil. If the listener ever accepted the TLS 1.1 client, this test would leak the body and still pass, because the assertion only checks err.

The new tlsServer sets only ReadHeaderTimeout. ReadTimeout, WriteTimeout, and IdleTimeout are zero, so a slow client can hold a connection open indefinitely after the headers are read. MaxHeaderBytes is also unset. The admin listener is a small, low-traffic surface, which makes it an easy target for connection exhaustion.

Source the values from configuration rather than hardcoding them.

As per coding guidelines: "For every Go HTTP server, configure non-zero ReadTimeout, WriteTimeout, and IdleTimeout from configuration, set MaxHeaderBytes, wrap request bodies with http.MaxBytesReader."

🛡️ Proposed fix
 			tlsServer = &http.Server{
 				Addr:              fmt.Sprintf(":%d", cfg.TLS.Port),
 				Handler:           mux,
 				ReadHeaderTimeout: 30 * time.Second,
+				ReadTimeout:       cfg.TLS.ReadTimeout,
+				WriteTimeout:      cfg.TLS.WriteTimeout,
+				IdleTimeout:       cfg.TLS.IdleTimeout,
+				MaxHeaderBytes:    cfg.TLS.MaxHeaderBytes,
 				TLSConfig:         tlsConfig,
 			}

Add the corresponding fields with safe non-zero defaults to AdminTLSConfig in gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/config/config.go. Apply the same values to the plaintext server at Lines 68-72 so both listeners are bounded.

🌐 Web query:

Which Go release added the exported tls.X25519MLKEM768 constant in crypto/tls?

💡 Result:

The Go release that added the exported tls.X25519MLKEM768 constant to the crypto/tls package is Go 1.24 [1][2]. This release introduced support for the hybrid post-quantum key exchange mechanism X25519MLKEM768, enabling it by default when Config.CurvePreferences is nil [1]. The addition replaced the experimental X25519Kyber768Draft00 mechanism [1][2].

Citations:


Update the Go version in both comments. tls.X25519MLKEM768 was added in Go 1.24. Go 1.23 only provided the experimental X25519Kyber768Draft00 group. The module already requires Go 1.26.5, so this is a documentation correction, not a compilation issue.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

An enabled admin TLS listener fails open at every stage. When an operator sets admin.tls.enabled = true, no failure after that point stops startup or is reported. Validation only checks that the certificate and key paths are non-empty. NewServer logs a buildAdminTLSConfig error and leaves tlsServer nil. Start runs ListenAndServeTLS in a goroutine and only logs a bind or certificate error. The process then reports healthy while the requested TLS admin listener does not exist, and the admin API is reachable only in plaintext. Each site must fail closed for the guarantee to hold.

  • gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/config/config.go#L756-L761: load the key pair during Validate with tls.LoadX509KeyPair and return an error, so unusable certificate material stops startup.
  • gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/admin/server.go#L83-L95: return the buildAdminTLSConfig error to the caller instead of logging it and continuing with tlsServer nil. Change NewServer to return (*Server, error), or keep the error on the Server and refuse to Start.
  • gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/admin/server.go#L139-L146: propagate the ListenAndServeTLS error out of the goroutine over a channel, and make Start return it when TLS was explicitly enabled.

As per coding guidelines: "GO-AUTH-011: Startup must validate the effective security configuration and fail closed when enabled authentication produces no authenticators; disabling authentication must be explicit and off by default."

Note that the existing test TestServer_TLSListener_InvalidEcdhCurves in gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/admin/server_test.go asserts the current fail-open behavior of NewServer. Update it together with this change.
