This caught my attention because it addresses something I've been thinking about - traditional SDP/SPA still exposes a UDP port during the handshake phase, and with AI-powered scanners getting faster, that window is increasingly risky.

NHP's approach of using Noise Protocol Framework for mutual auth before any port is opened seems like a logical evolution. The paper mentions using ECC-256 instead of RSA-2048, which should help with IoT deployments.

Curious if anyone has tested the OpenNHP implementation (it's on GitHub). How does the performance compare to traditional VPN or existing SDP solutions in production environments?https://github.com/OpenNHP
