Researching exposure beyond encrypted content

Omnimesh examines observable communication patterns, route dependence and system boundaries in high-threat networks—and publishes source-linked analysis of that problem.

Published analysis

The current analysis examines transport and routing exposure through the UK Cyber Assessment Framework and links directly to the underlying NCSC material.

Transport-Layer Gaps in Your CAF Assessment

Examines transport and routing exposure through the lens of the UK Cyber Assessment Framework. References to the framework provide analytical context; they do not constitute NCSC endorsement or product validation.

Research scope

Exposure. Boundary. Evidence.

The work follows three connected questions: what remains observable, where the proposed system sits and what evidence would be required before a claim could be supported.

Research frameObserve. Bound. Verify.
Public research sequence
  1. 01

    Transport exposure

    Observable communication patterns, route dependence and concentrated infrastructure dependencies in high-threat environments.

  2. 02

    System boundaries

    Application integration, user-space execution, UDP carriage, retained host networking and explicit non-goals.

  3. 03

    Evaluation and evidence

    Threat models, assumptions, test methods, limitations and the evidence required to support future claims.

Each question narrows the next: identify the exposure, define the system boundary, then specify the evidence required.

Technical notes

Versioned public architecture material

Each note records its evidence class, current scope and disclosure boundary so a design decision is not mistaken for implementation or product assurance.

Evidence register

Published material and the gates for stronger claims

Each entry records its evidence class, current status, supporting artefact and the requirements for a stronger claim.
