Offer a hybrid ML-KEM key exchange group first in properties files

Recipe IDio.moderne.cryptography.pqc.AddHybridTlsNamedGroupToProperties
Artifactio.moderne.recipe:rewrite-cryptography

Prepends an ML-KEM hybrid key-exchange group to a jdk.tls.namedGroups value in a .properties file, under either the bare key or Gradle's systemProp. prefix. The group goes first because first means most preferred. An entry that already names any ML-KEM group is left alone silently and produces no row: the JSSE API throws on a duplicate group, so re-running this recipe has to be a no-op. A repository with no such entry is deliberately not given one — on JDK 27 the absence of a pin is the good state.

Options

2 parameters
2 optional
ParameterExampleTypeRequired
hybridGroupSecP256r1MLKEM768StringOptional
The hybrid named group to offer first. Kept as a single option on purpose: draft-ietf-tls-ecdhe-mlkem is still an IETF draft, so a rename at RFC promotion is a one-line default change rather than a sweep through the recipes. Default X25519MLKEM768, which is what JEP 527 puts first in the JDK 27 provider default.
modereportStringOptional
rewrite (the default) prepends the hybrid group. report leaves every entry untouched and only marks it and records a row — for estates whose group pins are deliberate, typically because a middlebox chokes on the larger ML-KEM key share or because ClientHello size is constrained.

Usage

Run this recipe

This recipe has no required configuration options. Users of Moderne can run it via the Moderne CLI.

You will need to have configured the Moderne CLI on your machine before you can run the following command.

shell
mod run . --recipe AddHybridTlsNamedGroupToProperties

If the recipe is not available locally, then you can install it using:

RELEASE resolves to the newest release and LATEST to the newest build of any kind, including snapshots. Either one lets mod config recipes upgrade pull in later versions without editing this command; a pinned version stays where you put it.

mod config recipes jar install io.moderne.recipe:rewrite-cryptography:RELEASE

Data tables

Hybrid TLS key exchange enforcement
io.moderne.cryptography.pqc.table.HybridKexEnforcementTable

Named-group configuration rewritten to offer an ML-KEM hybrid group first, and sites flagged as needing manual review because the value is not statically resolvable or the transformation would need a BouncyCastle upgrade to compile. -D flags outside the scanned repository are invisible, so an unchanged repository is not evidence of a hybrid-ready runtime.

ColumnDescription
Configuration surfaceThe API or configuration key that produced the row: SSLParameters.setNamedGroups, BCSSLParameters.setNamedGroups, System.setProperty(jdk.tls.namedGroups), properties file entry, TlsClient.getSupportedGroups, SSLEngine.setSSLParameters or SSLSocket.setSSLParameters. The token vocabulary is shared with the TLS named groups inventory so discovery and enforcement rows can be joined.
Named groupsThe groups found at the site before the change, comma-joined in the order they were offered, e.g. x25519,secp256r1. Empty when the value is not statically resolvable or no groups are configured.
Classificationtransformed when the hybrid group was prepended. report-only: non-literal argument when the named groups arrive as a runtime value. report-only: no named groups configured when SSL parameters are applied without any named-groups call — remediation there is a JDK 27 / BouncyCastle 1.81 upgrade, not an edit, because the provider default already offers a hybrid first. report-only: low-level BC client without hybrid groups for a getSupportedGroups override, where generated code naming NamedGroup.X25519MLKEM768 would only compile against bctls 1.81 or later.
Hybrid group addedThe hybrid group prepended at this site, e.g. X25519MLKEM768. Empty on report-only rows.
Code snippetThe source code of the detected API usage, e.g. Cipher.getInstance("DES").
Library nameThe TLS stack the surface belongs to: JSSE or BouncyCastle. jdk.tls.namedGroups rows are recorded as JSSE even though BCJSSE honours the same property, because the property is a JDK-level surface.
Library languageThe language of the source the row was found in: Java or Properties.
File locationThe path of the source file relative to the repository root.
Start line1-based line of the start of the API usage.
Start column0-based column of the start of the API usage, or -1 when unavailable.
Start offset0-based character offset of the start of the API usage, or -1 when unavailable.
End line1-based line of the end of the API usage.
End column0-based column of the end of the API usage, or -1 when unavailable.
End offset0-based character offset of the end of the API usage, or -1 when unavailable.
Repository nameThe repository name from Git provenance, e.g. payment-service. Empty when unknown.
Scan sourceWhere the source was scanned from, derived from Git provenance, e.g. GitHub, GitLab, Local Repository.
BranchThe branch from Git provenance, e.g. main. Empty when unknown.
