🔒 Security Considerations

The MANTRA Vanity Address Generator handles cryptocurrency private keys and addresses. Security is our top priority.

⚠️ Important Security Notes

Client-Side Only

  • All cryptographic operations happen locally in your browser
  • No data is ever transmitted to external servers
  • Private keys and mnemonics never leave your device

Secure Usage Recommendations

  1. Use Offline: For maximum security, download and run offline
  2. Verify Source: Only download from official repositories
  3. Fresh Environment: Use in a clean browser session
  4. Save Securely: Store generated mnemonics in a secure location
  5. Verify Addresses: Always verify generated addresses in your wallet

🛡️ Cryptographic Standards

  • BIP32: Hierarchical Deterministic wallets
  • BIP44: Multi-account hierarchy
  • BIP39: Mnemonic phrases
  • secp256k1: Elliptic curve cryptography
  • BLAKE2b: Secure hashing (for MANTRA addresses)

🐛 Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability, please:

  1. DO NOT create a public issue
  2. Email: [Your email here] with details
  3. Include: Steps to reproduce and potential impact
  4. Wait: For acknowledgment before public disclosure

Response Timeline

  • 24 hours: Initial acknowledgment
  • 72 hours: Preliminary assessment
  • 7 days: Detailed response and fix timeline

✅ Security Checklist for Contributors

Before submitting cryptographic changes:

  • Maintains BIP32/BIP44 compatibility
  • Uses secure randomness sources
  • No private key logging or transmission
  • Follows established cryptographic standards
  • Includes security testing

🔍 Security Auditing

This project welcomes security audits. Areas of focus:

  • Key Generation: Entropy and randomness
  • HD Derivation: BIP32/BIP44 compliance
  • Address Generation: MANTRA-specific encoding
  • Memory Management: Private key handling
  • WebAssembly Security: WASM module isolation

📝 Known Limitations

  • Browser Security: Relies on browser's crypto.getRandomValues()
  • Client Trust: User must trust the execution environment
  • Physical Security: No protection against local attacks

🛠️ Secure Development Practices

  • All dependencies are audited
  • WebAssembly provides memory isolation
  • No external network requests
  • Minimal attack surface

Remember: This tool generates real cryptocurrency addresses and private keys. Always practice good security hygiene and never share your private keys or mnemonic phrases.
