Status & Roadmap

The single honest view of what is implemented today versus planned. Every maturity caveat elsewhere links here.

Implemented today

Capability State Where it lives
SIDC / MIL-STD-2525D / APP-6D symbology Implemented common/src/sidc/ (parser) + android/ui/symbols/ (renderer)
ADatP-3 formatted text (OPREP, INTREP, SALUTE) Implemented gateway/src/formats/adatp3.rs
CoT / TAK exchange Implemented gateway/src/formats/cot*.rs, tak_protobuf.rs
NFFI / STANAG 5527 blue-force tracking Implemented (file export) gateway/src/formats/nffi.rs
STANAG 4774/4778 classification labels Implemented server/src/classification_gate.rs
Zenoh transport routing (relay + federation) Implemented server (Zenoh router; router↔router mTLS)
FIDO2 identity + token issuance Implemented directory (FIDO2 login, signs IdentityToken/ServerToken)
Per-message classification gate Implemented server/src/classification_gate.rs

In progress / transitional

  • Token-only PKI migration. Identity is moving to Directory-signed tokens only; the client-certificate PKI (CSR-issued X.509 leaves, client-cert mTLS, bound_cert_serial) is being removed. waypoint_common already dropped it, but node and the Directory device-enroll path still carry residual cert fields. See PKI — Transitional (being removed).
  • Server-blind E2E content confidentiality — flag-day cutover outstanding. The model is implemented in common, the server, and the Android client: member content is AES-256-GCM sealed under the deployment group key; the router is payload-blind and group-key-free; the Directory issues the key to clients only. The web client, gateway, and node clients, and the coordinated flag-day wire-breaking cutover that activates it fleet-wide, remain outstanding. See security/model.md.

Known gaps

  • Directory horizontal scaling (HA prerequisite). Making the data tier highly available (Postgres/Cloud SQL replication + backup) is an infrastructure choice. But the Directory application assumes a single replica today: its nonce store and per-device refresh rate limiter hold state in process memory, which would have to move behind Postgres before more than one Directory instance could run behind a load balancer (directory:app/domains/api/service_token_refresh_limiter.ts). Until that app change lands, Directory availability is bounded by a single instance regardless of database HA. (The signing key is already DB-backed and re-read per mint, so it is not a blocker.) The Directory is the system's only true SPOF — while it is down no new logins or tokens are issued, though already-issued tokens keep the live mesh running. Routers do not need HA — they are relays whose redundancy comes from running federated peers (see Deployment topology → What needs HA).
