- The Hackathon is focused on implementing the TLMSP draft specification and comparing it to related Middlebox Security protocols.
- Additional TLMSP profiles are sought. Examples of Hackathon projects include:
- Developing an OpenSSL plugin which implements TLMSP
- Developing a TLMSP middlebox for use by enterprise networks, e.g., financial institutions, mobile networks, and other compelling use cases
- Developing application layer content splitters to divide content across different TLMSP contexts (e.g. separating http headers and different body content across different contexts)
- Developing compatibility interfaces between TLMSP and other protocols
- Understanding the performance effects
- To familiarise developers, systems engineers and other technical experts with emerging protocols for middlebox security for trusted encrypted traffic visibility
- To promote one of the several new TC CYBER Middlebox Security Protocol specifications for use in middlebox implementations for enhanced cyber security, infrastructure protection, and other operational requirements
- To encourage anyone to create, demonstrate, and compare their own middlebox security protocol(s)
- To encourage work on analysis at the middlebox, detecting attacks, enhancing trust, and auditing
- To identify, through practical implementations, any unknown difficulties or vulnerabilities for the ETSI Middlebox Security Protocol Profile for Transport Layer traffic (TLMSP) draft specification (a derivative of the well-known mcTLS protocol
