- Gateway validates certificate against appropriate SSH Server CA
- Ensures gateway connects to legitimate relay infrastructure
### 3. Application Traffic Security
### 3. Platform-to-Gateway Direct Connection
End-to-end encryption for application data:
The platform establishes secure direct connections with gateways through a **TLS-pinned tunnel** mechanism:
1. **mTLS Layer**:
1. **TLS-Pinned Tunnel Establishment**:
- Infisical platform establishes mTLS connections directly with gateways
- Uses Organization Gateway certificates for authentication
- Application traffic is encrypted end-to-end between platform and gateway
- Gateway initiates outbound connection to platform through SSH reverse tunnel
- Platform establishes direct mTLS connection with gateway using Organization Gateway certificates
- TLS certificate pinning ensures the connection is bound to the specific gateway identity
- No inbound connections required - all communication flows through the outbound tunnel
2. **SSH Tunnel Layer**:
2. **Connection Flow**:
- mTLS-encrypted application traffic travels through SSH reverse tunnels
- Creates double encryption: mTLS payload within SSH tunnel
- Relay servers cannot decrypt either encryption layer
```
Platform ←→ [SSH Reverse Tunnel] ←→ Gateway
```
3. **Traffic Isolation**:
- Each gateway maintains separate SSH tunnels
- Organization's private keys never leave their environment
- Complete cryptographic isolation between organizations
- Gateway maintains persistent outbound SSH tunnel to relay server
- Platform connects directly to gateway through this tunnel
- TLS handshake occurs over the SSH tunnel, establishing mTLS connection
- Application traffic flows through the TLS-pinned tunnel
3. **Security Benefits**:
- **No inbound connections**: Gateway never needs to accept incoming connections
- **Certificate-based authentication**: Uses Organization Gateway certificates for mutual TLS
- **Double encryption**: TLS traffic within SSH tunnel provides layered security
- **Relay server isolation**: Relay cannot decrypt either TLS or application data
- **Tenant isolation**: Each organization's traffic flows through separate authenticated channels

For production deployments on Linux, install the Gateway as a systemd service:

**Gateway v2:** The `infisical gateway systemd install` command deploys the new Gateway v2 component.
If you are migrating from Gateway v1 (legacy `infisical gateway install` command), this is not in-place. Gateway v2 provisions new gateway instances with new gateway IDs. Update any resources that reference a gateway ID (for example: dynamic secret configs, app connections, or other gateway-bound resources) to use the new Gateway v2 gateway ID.
