Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Add support for a DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) service mesh to enhance secure communication over UDP-based protocols in the LoxiLB ecosystem. This feature would provide encryption, integrity, and authentication for UDP traffic, similar to how TLS functions for TCP.
Motivation:
Secure UDP Traffic: Applications increasingly rely on UDP for high-performance, real-time communication (e.g., VoIP, streaming, gaming). Securing these communications is critical.
Expanding Capabilities: Offering DTLS support will broaden LoxiLB's applicability in environments where secure datagram communication is a necessity.
Complement Existing Features: Integrating DTLS fits well alongside existing LoxiLB service mesh capabilities, enabling a unified approach to both TCP and UDP traffic security.
Use Cases
Secure communication for real-time media streaming applications.
Securing control plane traffic in IoT networks or edge computing environments.
Enabling secure service-to-service communication for UDP-based protocols like QUIC.
Describe the solution you'd like
Proposed Solution
DTLS Library Integration: Evaluate open-source DTLS libraries such as mbedTLS or OpenSSL.
Policy Configuration: Extend existing policy definitions to allow specifying DTLS options for services.
Session Management: Handle DTLS session establishment and re-establishment seamlessly within the service mesh.
Key Management: Integrate with existing secrets management solutions for certificate and key distribution.
Observability: Add monitoring and metrics specific to DTLS traffic (e.g., session stats, handshake performance).
