Beyond Classical Cryptography: Building Quantum-Resistant Cloud Native Infrastructure With SPIFFE - Andrés Vega, M42 & Hugo Landau, Messier42

Friday April 4, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 1-2

As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic systems face unprecedented vulnerabilities. We demonstrate integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into cloud native infrastructure through SPIFFE identities, focusing on networking and security. We'll examine NIST's 2024 PQC standards and their key advantage: improved implementation error resistance.

Our live demonstration showcases end-to-end PQC in Kubernetes using SPIFFE/SPIRE, with L7 filtering, mutual authentication, and quantum-resistant cross-cluster communication. We cover:

* Deployment of PQC-enabled SPIRE, Cilium, and Envoy with Kyber KEM and Dilithium3 X.509 certificates
* Implementation of quantum-resistant (m)TLS
* Cilium network policies for L7 filtering with PQC
* Inter-node traffic security using Envoy mTLS with PQ algorithms

Attendees will gain practical insights and strategies for transitioning their infrastructure to quantum-resistant security in cloud native environments.
