**Zero Trust API Gateway with Enterprise-Grade Performance**



Subzero is a high-performance, AI-native Zero Trust API gateway built on modern Python. It provides comprehensive authentication, fine-grained authorization, advanced threat detection, and enterprise-grade security features—all optimized for sub-10ms latency and 10,000+ RPS throughput.



## ✨ Key Features



### 🔐 **Authentication & Authorization**

- **Auth0 FGA Integration** - Fine-Grained Authorization with Zanzibar-inspired ReBAC

- **Triple-Layer Authorization** - ReBAC, ABAC, and OPA with 95%+ cache hit ratio

- **XAA Protocol** - Extended authentication for AI agent-to-agent communication

- **Token Vault** - Double-encrypted credential storage (Auth0 + Fernet)

- **50,000+ Authorization Checks/Sec** - High-performance permission validation
