AI & Quantum Kernel Adaptive Optimiser · Security
One adaptive optimiser that unifies cybersecurity primitives — QKD, JAAS, IAM, PAM, NIST / GDPR / DPDP 2023 compliance, CSPM, anti-virus, SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR, threat intelligence and malware analysis — into the AIOTF kernel surface.
Security stack · top → bottom
Security domains covered
BB84 / E91 quantum key distribution over dark fibre; PQ-fallback (Kyber/Dilithium); keys delivered to kernel keyring + HSM via QHAL.
Java Authentication & Authorisation Service bridge — LoginModules, Subject/Principal mapping into kernel-level credentials for JVM workloads.
Identity & Access Mgmt — OIDC/SAML/SCIM, ABAC + RBAC, just-in-time elevation, session binding to TPM-attested device.
Pluggable Auth Modules + Privileged Access Mgmt — pam_aiotf for risk-scored auth, session recording, vaulted secrets, break-glass.
Mappings to 800-53 r5, 800-171, CSF 2.0 and PQC FIPS 203/204/205. Continuous control monitoring + evidence export.
Data-subject registry, lawful-basis tagging, DSAR pipelines, EU data-residency policies enforced at the kernel scheduler.
India Digital Personal Data Protection Act — consent artefacts, notice templates, data-fiduciary obligations, breach-notification SLAs.
Cloud Security Posture Mgmt — AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI drift detection, IaC scanning, misconfig auto-remediation via SOAR.
Anti-virus engine: signature + ML + YARA, kernel-resident scanner via fanotify, quarantine to immutable storage.
Streaming log lake — Vector → Kafka → Parquet/DuckDB + OpenSearch; UEBA + Sigma rules; agentic triage.
Playbook engine — declarative YAML + Python, idempotent actions, human-in-the-loop gates, full audit.
Endpoint Detection & Response — eBPF sensors, process tree, file/registry/network telemetry, live-response shell.
Cross-layer correlation: endpoint + identity + cloud + network + email, single timeline per incident.
STIX/TAXII feeds, MISP, commercial intel; auto-enrichment, sightings, indicator decay, hunt packs.
Static + dynamic sandbox (Cuckoo-style), unpacker chain, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, family clustering via embeddings.
Kernel integration approaches
Approach S2 · Userspace agent + thin LSM
Like CrowdStrike / SentinelOne / Wazuh.- eBPF sensors stream to a userspace policy engine
- AI/SOAR logic in containers, hot-reloadable
- Talks to TPM/HSM/QKD via SHAL
- K8s DaemonSet friendly, GitOps managed
Fast iteration, vendor-portable, easy to debug.
Extra context switches, larger TCB in userspace.
event → eBPF sensor → userspace agent → AI policy → SHAL (TPM/HSM/QKD) → response
