New system compiles security intent into executable network topologies

Researchers have developed TopoIntent, a system designed to translate natural language security requirements into executable network topologies. This system utilizes a schema contract for generation, retrieves reference architectures from a template library using dense-vector search, and aligns intent with templates through staged fusion. TopoIntent checks generated topologies against CIS Controls v8.1.2 safeguards and uses additive edits to repair structural gaps, ultimately exporting them as Mininet scripts with iptables ACLs for testing. An evaluation set constructed from reference security architecture diagrams demonstrated significant improvements in CIS satisfaction and policy pass rates. AI

IMPACT This system could streamline the creation of secure and compliant network infrastructures by automating the translation of high-level security requirements into actionable configurations.
