Security Guide

This guide covers security best practices and procedures for FlavumHive deployments.

Security Overview​

Key Areas​

  1. Authentication
  2. Authorization
  3. Data protection
  4. Network security

Security Layers​

  1. Application security
  2. Platform security
  3. Infrastructure security
  4. Network security

Authentication​

API Authentication​

# Secure API key storage
api_key = os.environ.get("API_KEY")
if not api_key:
    raise SecurityError("API key not found")

# Use in requests
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
    "User-Agent": "FlavumHive/1.0"
}

Platform Authentication​

# Secure credential handling
class CredentialManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.credentials = {}
        
    def load_credentials(self):
        """Load credentials from secure storage."""
        pass
        
    def rotate_credentials(self):
        """Rotate credentials periodically."""
        pass

Data Protection​

Sensitive Data​

  1. API keys
  2. Credentials
  3. User data
  4. Platform tokens

Data Handling​

# Encrypt sensitive data
def encrypt_data(data: str) -> str:
    """Encrypt sensitive data."""
    pass
    
# Secure storage
def store_securely(key: str, value: str):
    """Store data securely."""
    pass

Network Security​

Request Security​

# Secure requests
async def make_request(url: str, data: Dict):
    """Make secure HTTP request."""
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.post(
            url,
            ssl=True,
            headers=secure_headers,
            data=data
        ) as response:
            return await response.json()

Rate Limiting​

# Rate limit protection
async def check_rate_limit(ip: str) -> bool:
    """Check rate limit for IP."""
    pass

Best Practices​

1. Authentication​

  • Use strong passwords
  • Implement 2FA
  • Rotate credentials
  • Secure storage

2. Authorization​

  • Least privilege
  • Role-based access
  • Regular audits
  • Access logging

3. Data Security​

  • Encryption at rest
  • Secure transfer
  • Data backups
  • Secure deletion

4. Code Security​

  • Input validation
  • Output encoding
  • Error handling
  • Dependency scanning

Security Procedures​

1. Incident Response​

  1. Detect incident
  2. Assess impact
  3. Contain threat
  4. Investigate cause
  5. Implement fixes
  6. Document lessons

2. Regular Audits​

  1. Code review
  2. Access audit
  3. Config review
  4. Log analysis

3. Updates​

  1. Security patches
  2. Dependency updates
  3. Platform updates
  4. Protocol updates

Monitoring​

Security Monitoring​

  1. Access logs
  2. Error logs
  3. Auth attempts
  4. Rate limits

Alert Configuration​

# Security alerts
class SecurityAlerts:
    def alert_on_breach(self):
        """Alert on security breach."""
        pass
        
    def alert_on_suspicious(self):
        """Alert on suspicious activity."""
        pass
