Plexus-Myelin

Status: Active
Tech: Rust WireGuard ML-KEM-768 STUN DERP

Overview

Plexus-Myelin is a post-quantum hybrid VPN tunnel. It combines X25519 + ML-KEM-768 key exchange with WireGuard transport, adds NAT traversal via a custom STUN server, and DERP-style relay fallback. 138 tests currently passing.

The core thesis: quantum computers will threaten existing public-key cryptography within the next decade — adopting post-quantum algorithms now is responsible engineering.


Architecture

Hybrid Key Exchange

  • X25519: Classical elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman, widely battle-tested
  • ML-KEM-768: NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithm (formerly Kyber-768)
  • Hybrid design: security holds even if one algorithm is broken

Transport Layer

  • WireGuard: Modern, minimal VPN protocol
  • STUN: Custom STUN server for NAT traversal
  • DERP Relay: Automatic fallback when P2P path is unavailable

Test Coverage

✅ 138 tests passing — covering key exchange, tunnel establishment, NAT traversal, and relay fallback scenarios.
