Data Type Separation Indexing

🚀 Enterprise-Scale Index Strategy

TYCHON automatically separates data into specialized indexes based on asset type, enabling optimized storage, queries, and management for large-scale deployments.

Index Types Created

tychon-pqc-ciphers-{suffix}
tychon-pqc-keystores-{suffix}
tychon-pqc-certificates-{suffix}
tychon-pqc-ssh-keys-{suffix}
tychon-pqc-crypto-libraries-{suffix}
tychon-pqc-processes-{suffix}

Key Benefits

  • Optimized Storage: Each index tailored for specific data types
  • Faster Queries: Targeted searches without cross-type filtering
  • Scalable Architecture: No date-based index creation
  • Upsert Support: Consistent index names enable document updates
  • Lifecycle Management: Independent retention policies per data type
  • Custom Suffixes: Environment/deployment-specific organization

Built-in Elasticsearch Switches

TYCHON Quantum Readiness provides native Elasticsearch integration through command-line switches with automatic data type separation:

Switch Description Example
-posttoelastic Enable posting scan results to Elasticsearch with connectivity test -posttoelastic
-elasticnode Elasticsearch cluster URL (required) -elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200"
-elasticapikey Elasticsearch API key for authentication (optional for open clusters) -elasticapikey "your-api-key"
-elasticindex Custom suffix for data type separation indexes -elasticindex "mysite"
-insecure Skip SSL certificate verification for HTTPS connections -insecure

🆕 Data Type Separation with -elasticindex

The -elasticindex parameter now creates multiple specialized indexes with your custom suffix:

Input: -elasticindex "production"
Creates:
• tychon-pqc-ciphers-production
• tychon-pqc-keystores-production
• tychon-pqc-certificates-production
Input: -elasticindex "dev-team"
Creates:
• tychon-pqc-ssh-keys-dev-team
• tychon-pqc-crypto-libraries-dev-team
• tychon-pqc-processes-dev-team

Index Template and Mapping

TYCHON automatically creates and manages the Elasticsearch index template with ECS-compliant field mappings. You can also create it manually:

1. Create Index Template (Dev Tools)

Copy and paste this into Elasticsearch Dev Tools:

  }
}

2. Create Index Template (cURL)

Alternative command-line approach:

# Download the complete mapping template
curl -o tychon-mapping.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tychonio/certscanner/main/dashboards/elastic/mappings/tychon-pqc-mapping.json

# Apply the template to your cluster
curl -X PUT "https://elastic.company.com:9200/_index_template/tychon-pqc-template" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey your-api-key" \
  -d @tychon-mapping.json

# Verify template creation
curl -X GET "https://elastic.company.com:9200/_index_template/tychon-pqc-template" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey your-api-key" | jq '.index_templates[0].name'

Basic Configuration

1. Connectivity Test

TYCHON performs automatic connectivity testing before starting scans:

✅ Pre-Scan Connectivity Validation

TYCHON tests Elasticsearch connectivity immediately after version output and before cipher intelligence loading. This provides instant feedback about configuration issues without waiting for complete scans.

SSL Certificate Verification

Production Environments: By default, TYCHON validates SSL certificates for secure Elasticsearch connections.
Development/Testing: Use the -insecure flag to skip certificate verification for self-signed or invalid certificates.

# Example: Skip SSL verification for self-signed certificates
./certscanner -posttoelastic -elasticnode "https://dev-elastic:9200" -insecure

2. Data Type Separation Examples

Secure Credential Configuration

Security Best Practice

Use the -config parameter to configure and encrypt Elasticsearch credentials for secure reuse. This prevents credentials from being visible in process lists and command history.

Configuration Parameters

TYCHON Quantum Readiness provides secure credential storage using the following configuration parameters:

Parameter Description Purpose
-config Configure and encrypt credentials for reuse Setup encrypted credential storage
-config-elasticnode Elasticsearch node URL to store encrypted Securely store cluster endpoint
-config-elasticapikey Elasticsearch API Key to store encrypted Securely store authentication token

1. Setting Up Encrypted Credentials

Configure your Elasticsearch credentials once using the configuration parameters. The credentials will be encrypted and stored securely for reuse:

Windows Linux macOS

Windows Credential Configuration

# Configure Elasticsearch credentials (Windows)
# This will encrypt and store the credentials securely
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -config `
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200" `
  -config-elasticapikey "your-elasticsearch-api-key-here"

# Configuration will display success message when completed

Linux Credential Configuration

# Configure Elasticsearch credentials (Linux)
# This will encrypt and store the credentials securely
./certscanner-linux-x64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "your-elasticsearch-api-key-here"

# Configuration will display success message when completed

macOS Credential Configuration

# Configure Elasticsearch credentials (Intel Mac)
./certscanner-darwin-amd64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "your-elasticsearch-api-key-here"

# Configure Elasticsearch credentials (Apple Silicon)
./certscanner-darwin-arm64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "your-elasticsearch-api-key-here"

# Configuration will display success message when completed

2. Using Encrypted Credentials

Once credentials are configured, use the -posttoelastic parameter without specifying connection details. TYCHON will automatically use the stored encrypted credentials:

Windows Linux macOS

Windows Usage Examples

# Local comprehensive scan using stored credentials (Windows)
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -mode local `
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected `
  -posttoelastic

# Network scan using stored credentials
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -cidr 192.168.1.0/24 `
  -ports 443,8443,9443 `
  -cipherscan `
  -posttoelastic

# Custom index name with stored credentials
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -host example.com `
  -cipherscan `
  -posttoelastic `
  -elasticindex "manual-scan-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')"

# Comprehensive scan with Outlook archives
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -mode local `
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected -scanoutlookarchives `
  -posttoelastic `
  -elasticindex "comprehensive-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM')"

Linux Usage Examples

# Local comprehensive scan using stored credentials (Linux)
./certscanner-linux-x64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic

# Network discovery scan using stored credentials
./certscanner-linux-x64 -arpscan \
  -ports 443,22,8443,993,995 \
  -cipherscan \
  -posttoelastic

# Custom index name with stored credentials
./certscanner-linux-x64 -host example.com \
  -cipherscan \
  -posttoelastic \
  -elasticindex "manual-scan-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"

# Comprehensive scan with file system and memory
./certscanner-linux-x64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected -scanoutlookarchives \
  -posttoelastic \
  -elasticindex "comprehensive-$(date +%Y-%m)"

macOS Usage Examples

# Local comprehensive scan using stored credentials (Intel Mac)
./certscanner-darwin-amd64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic

# Local comprehensive scan using stored credentials (Apple Silicon)
./certscanner-darwin-arm64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic

# Network discovery scan using stored credentials (Intel Mac)
./certscanner-darwin-amd64 -arpscan \
  -ports 443,22,8443,993,995 \
  -cipherscan \
  -posttoelastic

# Custom index name with stored credentials (Apple Silicon)
./certscanner-darwin-arm64 -host example.com \
  -cipherscan \
  -posttoelastic \
  -elasticindex "manual-scan-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"

# Comprehensive scan with Outlook archives (Intel Mac)
./certscanner-darwin-amd64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanconnected -scanoutlookarchives \
  -posttoelastic \
  -elasticindex "comprehensive-$(date +%Y-%m)"

# Note: -scanmemory is not available on macOS

3. Managing Encrypted Credentials

Note: Configuration management in TYCHON is designed for simplicity. To update credentials, simply run the -config command again with new values. The system will overwrite the previous configuration.

Updating Configuration

To update stored credentials, run the configuration command again with the new values:

# Update Elasticsearch node URL
./certscanner -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://new-elastic.company.com:9200"

# Update API key (you can update just the API key)
./certscanner -config \
  -config-elasticapikey "new-api-key-here"

# Update both node URL and API key together
./certscanner -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://new-elastic.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "new-api-key-here"

4. Environment-Specific Configurations

For different environments, configure credentials separately on each system or use environment variables:

Windows Linux macOS

Windows Environment Configuration

# Configure for production environment
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -config `
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-prod.company.com:9200" `
  -config-elasticapikey "$env:ELASTIC_PROD_API_KEY"

# Now use the configured credentials for scanning
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -mode local `
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected `
  -posttoelastic

# For development environment, reconfigure with dev credentials
.\certscanner-windows-amd64.exe -config `
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-dev.company.com:9200" `
  -config-elasticapikey "$env:ELASTIC_DEV_API_KEY"

Linux Environment Configuration

# Configure for production environment
./certscanner-linux-x64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-prod.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "$ELASTIC_PROD_API_KEY"

# Now use the configured credentials for scanning
./certscanner-linux-x64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic

# For development environment, reconfigure with dev credentials
./certscanner-linux-x64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-dev.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "$ELASTIC_DEV_API_KEY"

macOS Environment Configuration

# Configure for production environment (Intel Mac)
./certscanner-darwin-amd64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-prod.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "$ELASTIC_PROD_API_KEY"

# Configure for production environment (Apple Silicon)
./certscanner-darwin-arm64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-prod.company.com:9200" \
  -config-elasticapikey "$ELASTIC_PROD_API_KEY"

# Now use the configured credentials for scanning (Intel Mac)
./certscanner-darwin-amd64 -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic

# For development environment, reconfigure with dev credentials (Apple Silicon)
./certscanner-darwin-arm64 -config \
  -config-elasticnode "https://elastic-dev.company.com:9200" \

Capacity Planning for Enhanced Data Collection

Enhanced Data Volume Across All Scan Types

Expanded scanning capabilities (VPN clients, IPSec configs, quantum readiness, enhanced crypto analysis) significantly increase data volume and complexity across all data types. Plan cluster expansion accordingly.

Critical Architecture Decision: Upsert vs Historical Tracking

Upsert Strategy: Each endpoint gets one document that's updated with latest state (90% less storage).
Historical Strategy: Every scan creates a new timestamped document (enables trend analysis but 10x+ storage growth).

1. Data Volume Impact Analysis by Strategy

Upsert Strategy (Current State Only)

Data Type Per Host
Certificates 50-200 KB
Crypto Libraries 100-500 KB
VPN Clients 50-300 KB
IPSec Configs 25-150 KB
Quantum Readiness 10-50 KB
Total per Host 235 KB - 1.2 MB

1000 hosts = 235 MB - 1.2 GB total

Historical Strategy (Time-Series)

Scan Frequency Daily Volume
Every 4 hours 6x per day
Every 1 hour 24x per day
Continuous (30min) 48x per day
1000 hosts (4hr) 1.4 GB - 7.2 GB/day
1000 hosts (1hr) 5.6 GB - 28.8 GB/day

Monthly: 42 GB - 864 GB (4hr scans)

2. Storage Strategy Comparison

Strategy Pros Cons Best For
Upsert Current State • 90% less storage
• Fast queries
• Simple architecture
• Lower costs
• No historical trends
• Can't track changes
• Limited compliance
• No forensics
• Current state dashboards
• Real-time monitoring
• Cost-sensitive deployments
Historical Time-Series • Full change tracking
• Trend analysis
• Compliance auditing
• Forensic capability
• 10x+ storage growth
• Complex queries
• Higher costs
• More maintenance
• Compliance environments
• Security analytics
• Change management
Hybrid Approach • Current + history
• Flexible retention
• Cost optimization
• Best of both
• Complex architecture
• Dual maintenance
• Query complexity
• Setup overhead
• Enterprise deployments
• Mixed requirements
• Phased implementations

3. Cluster Sizing by Strategy and Scale

Upsert Strategy Sizing (Current State Only)

Small (100-500 endpoints)
  • Nodes: 3 nodes, 8GB RAM each
  • Storage: 200GB total
  • Growth: ~50MB/month
  • Cost: $500-800/month
Medium (500-2000 endpoints)
  • Nodes: 5 nodes, 16GB RAM each
  • Storage: 500GB total
  • Growth: ~200MB/month
  • Cost: $1,500-2,500/month
Large (2000+ endpoints)
  • Nodes: 7 nodes, 32GB RAM each
  • Storage: 1TB total
  • Growth: ~500MB/month
  • Cost: $4,000-6,000/month

Historical Strategy Sizing (Time-Series)

Small (100-500 endpoints)
  • Nodes: 5 nodes, 16GB RAM each
  • Storage: 2TB initial, 10TB/year
  • Daily ingestion: 500MB-3GB
  • Cost: $2,000-4,000/month
Medium (500-2000 endpoints)
  • Nodes: 10 nodes, 32GB RAM each
  • Storage: 5TB initial, 25TB/year
  • Daily ingestion: 2GB-12GB
  • Cost: $6,000-12,000/month
Large (2000+ endpoints)
  • Nodes: 20+ nodes, 64GB RAM each
  • Storage: 20TB initial, 100TB/year
  • Daily ingestion: 10GB-50GB
  • Cost: $20,000-40,000/month

Hybrid Strategy Recommendation

Current State Index (Fast Queries)
  • • Use upsert strategy for dashboards
  • • Index: crypto-current-state
  • • Update frequency: real-time
  • • Retention: indefinite (always current)
Historical Index (Trend Analysis)
  • • Use time-series for compliance/forensics
  • • Index: crypto-history-YYYY-MM
  • • Retention: 90 days hot, 1 year total
  • • ILM: aggressive compression after 30 days

# Configure TYCHON for upsert pattern
./certscanner -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic \
  -elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200" \
  -elasticapikey "your-key" \
  -elasticindex "crypto-current-state" \
  -upsert true \
  -hostid-field "host_id"

# Each scan updates the same document per host

Historical Ingestion Commands

# Configure TYCHON for time-series pattern
./certscanner -mode local \
  -scanfilesystem -scanmemory -scanconnected \
  -posttoelastic \
  -elasticnode "https://elastic.company.com:9200" \

Security Considerations

Authentication & Authorization

  • • Use Elasticsearch API keys instead of basic auth
  • • Limit API key permissions to specific indices
  • • Rotate API keys regularly (monthly recommended)
  • • Use index-level security for data segregation

Data Protection

  • • Enable TLS encryption for all communications
  • • Configure field-level security for sensitive data
  • • Implement proper data retention policies
  • • Use document-level security for multi-tenancy

Network Security

  • • Restrict Elasticsearch access to authorized networks
  • • Use VPN or private networks for communication
  • • Configure firewall rules for port 9200/9300
  • • Monitor for unauthorized access attempts

Audit and Compliance

  • • Enable Elasticsearch audit logging
  • • Log all TYCHON Quantum Readiness API interactions
  • • Regular security assessments of crypto data
  • • Compliance reporting for regulatory requirements

Document ID Strategy

TYCHON uses deterministic SHA256-based document IDs to enable upsert operations:

  • Cipher Documents: SHA256(destination.ip + destination.port + tls.cipher + scan_timestamp)
  • Keystore Documents: SHA256(keystore.path + certificate.fingerprint_sha256)
  • SSH Key Documents: SHA256(destination.ip + ssh.host_key.fingerprint)
  • Process Documents: SHA256(host.name + process.pid + process.start_time)
  • VPN Client Documents: SHA256(vpn_client.name + vpn_client.install_path + host.name)
  • IPSec Tunnel Documents: SHA256(ipsec_tunnel.name + tunnel_details.local_endpoint + host.name)
  • Quantum Assessment: SHA256(host.name + assessment_type + scan_timestamp)

This strategy ensures:

  • Duplicate Prevention: Same scan results update existing documents
  • Change Tracking: Modified configurations create new documents
  • Performance: Efficient upsert operations without search queries
  • Consistency: Predictable document routing across Elasticsearch nodes

Best Practices

Index Management

  • • Use Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) for automated retention
  • • Configure hot-warm-cold architecture for cost optimization
  • • Set replica shards based on query load requirements
  • • Enable best_compression codec for storage efficiency

Query Optimization

  • • Target specific index types rather than wildcards when possible
  • • Use bool queries with filters for better cache utilization
  • • Implement date range filtering to reduce data volume
  • • Leverage aggregations for statistical analysis across data types

Security Considerations

  • • Configure field-level security for sensitive cryptographic data
  • • Use index patterns for role-based access control
  • • Enable audit logging for compliance requirements
  • • Implement network encryption for data in transit

Monitoring & Alerting

  • • Set up Watcher alerts for certificate expiration
  • • Monitor quantum vulnerability trends over time
  • • Create dashboards for each data type category
  • • Implement SLA monitoring for scan completion rates
