RustShield Gateway v0.1.0 Lab Preview

RustShield Gateway v0.1.0 Lab Preview

First public lab preview of RustShield Gateway.

RustShield Gateway is a Rust-based MAVLink security gateway technical preview for controlled SITL/laboratory validation.

Included

• MAVLink UDP/SITL gateway public preview.
• Semantic policy checks for selected critical/high-risk MAVLink commands.
• Conservative flight-state context from HEARTBEAT.
• MAVLink signing observe/audit/enforce laboratory paths.
• Shadow enforcement counters and events.
• Read-only /healthz and /metrics observability.
• Public loopback-only demo.
• Sanitized public evidence summaries.
• Limited PX4 heartbeat handling through fixtures and smoke tests.
• Serial transport validation against virtual PTY devices only.

Public demo

Run:

./scripts/run-public-demo.sh

The demo is loopback-only. It does not require real UAV hardware, radios, QGroundControl, ArduPilot, PX4 or a GUI.

Validation

Recommended local checks:

cargo fmt --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test
cargo audit
cargo deny check

The public CI also runs Rust checks, supply-chain checks and the public demo smoke test.

Not included / not claimed

• No real UAV flight readiness.
• No certification.
• No hardware/radio validation.
• No production Serial/radio support.
• No complete PX4 mode-policy support.
• No complete MAVLink security coverage.
• No guaranteed end-to-end real-time performance.
• No private laboratory history.
• No raw internal evidence logs.
• No customer-specific integrations.
• No commercial/private modules.

Commercial / lab pilots

Commercial work happens through explicit assessment, laboratory pilot or partner-integration engagements.
