Security Layers
Defense-in-Depth Security Architecture
Multiple layers of security controls protect your AI infrastructure from threats at every level.
auth-min
Minimal authentication primitives
Core authentication building blocks for secure user management.
- Multi-factor authentication
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Session management with secure cookies
- Password hashing with Argon2
- API key generation and validation
audit-logging
Immutable audit trail system
Tamper-evident audit logs with blockchain-style hash chaining.
- Hash-chained audit logs (blockchain-style)
- 32 distinct audit event types
- 7-year retention policy
- Tamper-evident verification
- Compliance export formats (JSON, CSV)
input-validation
Strict input validation and sanitization
Comprehensive input validation to prevent injection attacks.
- Schema-based validation (JSON Schema)
- Type safety enforcement
- SQL injection prevention
- XSS protection
- Path traversal prevention
secrets-management
Secure secrets handling
Encrypted secrets storage with automatic rotation support.
- Encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM)
- Never logged or exposed in errors
- Auto-rotation support
- Zeroization on process shutdown
- Environment variable isolation
jwt-guardian
JWT token management
Secure JWT token generation, validation, and rotation.
- Short-lived tokens (15 min default)
- Refresh token rotation
- Token revocation support
- Claims validation
- HMAC-SHA256 signing
deadline-propagation
Request timeout enforcement
Distributed deadline propagation to prevent resource exhaustion.
- Per-request deadlines
- Timeout propagation across services
- Graceful degradation
- Resource exhaustion prevention
- Cancellation support
Timing-Safe Operations
Constant-time operations to prevent timing attacks
- Constant-time comparisons for secrets
- No timing side-channels in auth
- Constant-time password verification
- Timing-safe token validation
Cryptographic Primitives
- AES-256-GCM for encryption
- Argon2id for password hashing
- HMAC-SHA256 for signatures
- ChaCha20-Poly1305 for streams
Zeroization
Secure memory cleanup to prevent data leakage
- Secrets zeroed on process shutdown
- Memory wiped after use
- No secrets in core dumps
- Secure deallocation
Security Testing
- Fuzzing with cargo-fuzz
- Property-based testing
- Security unit tests
- Penetration testing
Anti-Fingerprinting
Minimal information disclosure to prevent reconnaissance
- No version leakage in errors
- Generic error messages
- No stack traces to clients
- Minimal information disclosure
Security Monitoring
