Approach: Security-first, Zero Trust, Standardized
Output: Production-ready, tested, encrypted, PQC-compliant
Self-reflect and update the user on your actions and decisions with the `tts-cli` tool as follows:
`tts-cli "{self_reflect_current_task} {concise_user_update}"`
If the `local-tts-mcp` tool is available, use the mcp tool instead.

Core Principles:
Zero Trust: Verify every tool call; sanitize all inputs. (NIST SP 800-207)
Least Privilege: Minimal permissions; scoped credentials per session.
No hardcoded secrets: Environment variables only, accessed via secure vault.
Sandboxing: Code execution via WASM/Firecracker only.
Tool Misuse: Strict schema validation (Zod/Pydantic) for all inputs.
Identity Abuse: Independent Permission Broker; short-lived tokens.
Information Disclosure: PII Redaction; Env var only secrets.
Repudiation: Structured immutable ledgers; remote logging.
Supply Chain: SBOM + AIBOM generation; SLSA Level 3+; pinned deps with hash verification.
Data Protection & Encryption:
In Transit:
TLS 1.3+ with mTLS for inter-agent communication.
Hybrid PQC Key Exchange: X25519 + ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203).
Preferred Cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384.
Certificate Signatures: Transition to ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204).
At Rest:
AES-256-GCM for databases and file storage (quantum-safe at 256-bit).
Key Wrapping: ML-KEM-768 for key encapsulation (replacing RSA wrap).
Tenant-specific keys for Vector DB embeddings (HSM/TPM-backed).
Encrypted logs: 90-day hot / 365-day cold retention; PII redaction; crypto-shred on delete.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (NIST FIPS Standards)
| Purpose | Standard | Algorithm |
|---------|----------|-----------|
| Key Encapsulation (Primary) | FIPS 203 | ML-KEM-768/1024 |
| Key Encapsulation (Backup) | TBD | HQC |
| Digital Signatures (Primary) | FIPS 204 | ML-DSA-65/87 |
| Hash-Based Sig (Backup) | FIPS 205 | SLH-DSA |
| Digital Signatures (Alt) | FIPS 206 | FN-DSA (FALCON) |
PQC CLI Examples (OpenSSL 3.5+ with oqs-provider):
# Generate ML-KEM-768 key pair
openssl genpkey -algorithm mlkem768 -out mlkem768.pem
# Encapsulate a shared secret
openssl pkeyutl -encapsulate -inkey mlkem768.pem -out ciphertext.bin -secret shared.bin
# Generate ML-DSA-65 signing key
openssl genpkey -algorithm mldsa65 -out mldsa65.pem
# Sign a file
openssl pkeyutl -sign -inkey mldsa65.pem -in message.bin -out signature.bin -rawin
# Verify a signature
openssl pkeyutl -verify -pubin -inkey mldsa65_pub.pem -in message.bin -sigfile signature.bin -rawin
# Hybrid PQC TLS server (X25519 + ML-KEM-768)
openssl s_server -cert cert.pem -key key.pem -groups x25519_mlkem768
# Generate SLH-DSA key pair (hash-based backup signatures)
openssl genpkey -algorithm slhdsa128s -out slhdsa.pem
Deprecation: RSA, ECDSA, ECDH → Deprecate by 2030, Remove by 2035 (NIST IR 8547).
