Kafka Integration

Overview

TYCHON Quantum Readiness includes native Kafka integration for real-time streaming of cryptographic asset discovery events. This enables event-driven architectures and real-time analytics pipelines for crypto security monitoring.

Built-in Kafka Switches

TYCHON Quantum Readiness provides native Kafka integration through command-line switches:

SSL/TLS Configuration Switches

# Example: Skip SSL verification for development Kafka cluster
./certscanner -posttokafka -kafkabrokers "dev-kafka:9093" \
  -kafkasecurityprotocol "SSL" -insecure

Basic Configuration

1. Apache Kafka Setup

Basic Apache Kafka configuration for TYCHON Quantum Readiness integration:

# Create Kafka topic for TYCHON Quantum Readiness data
kafka-topics --create \
  --topic tychon-crypto-assets \
  --partitions 6 \
  --replication-factor 3 \
  --config retention.ms=604800000 \
  --config segment.ms=86400000 \
  --config compression.type=gzip \
  --bootstrap-server kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092

# Verify topic creation
kafka-topics --describe \
  --topic tychon-crypto-assets \
  --bootstrap-server kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092

# Create additional topics for different data streams
kafka-topics --create \
  --topic tychon-network-scan \
  --partitions 4 \
  --replication-factor 3 \
  --bootstrap-server kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092

kafka-topics --create \
  --topic tychon-memory-scan \
  --partitions 2 \
  --replication-factor 3 \
  --bootstrap-server kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092

2. Confluent Platform Setup

# Confluent Platform topic creation with Schema Registry support
# Set Confluent REST URL (required for Confluent CLI)
export CONFLUENT_REST_URL=http://localhost:8082

# Alternative: specify URL directly with --url flag
confluent kafka topic create tychon-crypto-assets \
  --url http://localhost:8082 \
  --partitions 6 \
  --config retention.ms=604800000 \
  --config segment.ms=86400000 \
  --config compression.type=gzip

# Or using environment variable (after export above):
# confluent kafka topic create tychon-crypto-assets \
#   --partitions 6 \
#   --config retention.ms=604800000 \
#   --config segment.ms=86400000 \
#   --config compression.type=gzip

# Set up Schema Registry for structured data validation
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.schemaregistry.v1+json" \
  http://schema-registry:8081/subjects/tychon-crypto-assets-value/versions \
  -d '{
    "schema": "{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"CryptoAssetEvent\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"timestamp\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"event\",\"type\":{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"Event\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"action\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"category\",\"type\":{\"type\":\"array\",\"items\":\"string\"}},{\"name\":\"outcome\",\"type\":\"string\"}]}},{\"name\":\"host\",\"type\":{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"Host\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"address\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"domain\",\"type\":[\"null\",\"string\"]}]}},{\"name\":\"tls\",\"type\":[\"null\",{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"TLS\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"cipher\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"version\",\"type\":\"string\"}]}]},{\"name\":\"tychon\",\"type\":{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"Tychon\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"pqc_vulnerable\",\"type\":\"boolean\"},{\"name\":\"security_level\",\"type\":\"string\"}]}}]}"
  }'

Performance and Optimization

1. Kafka Producer Optimization

# Optimized Kafka cluster configuration for TYCHON Quantum Readiness data
# /opt/kafka/config/server.properties

# Network and threading
num.network.threads=8
num.io.threads=16
socket.send.buffer.bytes=102400
socket.receive.buffer.bytes=102400
socket.request.max.bytes=104857600

# Log settings for high throughput
log.retention.hours=168
log.retention.bytes=10737418240
log.segment.bytes=1073741824
log.cleanup.policy=delete

# Replication and durability
default.replication.factor=3
min.insync.replicas=2
unclean.leader.election.enable=false

# Compression for TYCHON data
compression.type=gzip
log.compression.type=gzip

# Producer settings for batching
batch.size=65536
linger.ms=100
buffer.memory=134217728
max.request.size=10485760

2. Topic Partitioning Strategy

#!/bin/bash
# Create optimized topics for different TYCHON data streams

KAFKA_BROKERS="kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092"
REPLICATION_FACTOR=3

# High-volume network scan events
kafka-topics --create \
  --topic tychon-network-events \
  --partitions 12 \
  --replication-factor $REPLICATION_FACTOR \
  --config retention.ms=604800000 \
  --config segment.ms=86400000 \
  --config compression.type=gzip \
  --config min.insync.replicas=2 \
  --bootstrap-server $KAFKA_BROKERS

# Lower-volume memory scan events
kafka-topics --create \
  --topic tychon-memory-events \
  --partitions 6 \
  --replication-factor $REPLICATION_FACTOR \
  --config retention.ms=2592000000 \
  --config compression.type=gzip \
  --bootstrap-server $KAFKA_BROKERS

# Critical PQC vulnerability alerts
kafka-topics --create \
  --topic tychon-pqc-alerts \
  --partitions 3 \
  --replication-factor $REPLICATION_FACTOR \
  --config retention.ms=7776000000 \
  --config cleanup.policy=compact \
  --config min.cleanable.dirty.ratio=0.1 \
  --bootstrap-server $KAFKA_BROKERS

3. Consumer Group Scaling

#!/bin/bash
# Scale Kafka consumers for TYCHON data processing

KAFKA_BROKERS="kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092"
CONSUMER_GROUP="tychon-crypto-processors"
TOPIC="tychon-crypto-assets"

# Deploy multiple consumer instances for parallel processing
for i in {1..6}; do
    echo "Starting consumer instance $i..."
    
    kafka-console-consumer \
      --bootstrap-server "$KAFKA_BROKERS" \
      --topic "$TOPIC" \
      --group "$CONSUMER_GROUP" \
      --consumer-property security.protocol=SASL_SSL \
      --consumer-property sasl.mechanism=SCRAM-SHA-256 \
      --consumer-property sasl.username="crypto-processor-$i" \
      --consumer-property sasl.password="$PROCESSOR_PASSWORD" \
      --consumer-property session.timeout.ms=30000 \
      --consumer-property heartbeat.interval.ms=3000 \
      --consumer-property max.poll.records=500 \
      --consumer-property fetch.min.bytes=1024 \
      --consumer-property fetch.max.wait.ms=500 &
done

echo "✅ Deployed $i consumer instances for parallel processing"
