Quantum-safe IPsec in the banking industry

This project is a research-oriented reference implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) within the IPsec framework. While the banking focus provides a specific use-case context, the underlying technical work is an application of emerging standards (NIST PQC finalists like Kyber and Dilithium) to existing protocols (IKEv2/IPsec). The defensibility is very low (2) because this is a standard-driven space; major networking vendors (Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto Networks) and cloud providers (AWS, Azure) are already integrating RFC 9242 and RFC 9370 (Multiple Key Exchanges in IKEv2) into their stacks. The quantitative signal (0 stars, 12 forks in 1 day) suggests a research group or academic assignment rather than organic market traction. The 'hybrid' approach—combining classical ECC with PQC—is the industry-standard recommendation, not a proprietary innovation. Platform domination risk is high as this functionality will eventually become a 'check-the-box' feature for all enterprise VPN and SD-WAN providers within 1-2 years.
