Security Policy

πŸ›‘οΈ Security Overview

KeyKeeper is a security-focused API key management application built with enterprise-grade security practices. We take security seriously and have implemented multiple layers of protection to ensure your API keys remain safe.

πŸ” Security Architecture

Encryption

  • Algorithm: AES-256-GCM with authenticated encryption
  • Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with SHA-256, 100,000 iterations (OWASP recommended)
  • Password Hashing: bcrypt with adaptive cost factor
  • Random Generation: Cryptographically secure random number generation (OsRng)
  • Storage: All data encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption

Authentication & Authorization

  • Multi-layer Authentication: User account + Master password
  • Session Management: Configurable session timeouts with automatic lock
  • Access Control: Vault-level access control with unlock/lock mechanisms
  • Password Policy: Configurable minimum length and complexity requirements

Audit & Monitoring

  • Comprehensive Audit Trail: All security events logged with timestamps
  • Access Logging: Failed and successful authentication attempts tracked
  • Data Integrity: Cryptographic verification of stored data
  • Retention Policies: Configurable log retention with automatic cleanup

🚨 Vulnerability Reporting

How to Report a Vulnerability

We appreciate responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. Please follow these steps:

  1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Email: Send details to [email protected]
  3. PGP Key: Available at https://keykeeper.app/.well-known/pgp-key.asc
  4. Include:
    • Detailed description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact assessment
    • Your contact information

Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 24 hours
  • Initial Assessment: Within 48 hours
  • Regular Updates: Every 5 business days
  • Resolution Target: 90 days for critical vulnerabilities

Responsible Disclosure Guidelines

  • Allow reasonable time for investigation and remediation
  • Avoid accessing or modifying data beyond what's necessary to demonstrate the issue
  • Do not perform destructive testing
  • Keep vulnerability details confidential until public disclosure is agreed upon

πŸ” Security Testing

Automated Security Testing

  • Static Analysis: Semgrep security patterns scanning
  • Dependency Scanning: npm audit and cargo audit for known vulnerabilities
  • Container Scanning: Trivy vulnerability scanner
  • SAST Integration: Integrated into CI/CD pipeline

Manual Security Testing

  • Regular penetration testing by third-party security firms
  • Code reviews with security focus
  • Threat modeling and risk assessments

πŸš€ Security Best Practices

For Developers

Secure Coding Practices

  1. Input Validation: All inputs validated and sanitized
  2. Output Encoding: Proper encoding to prevent injection attacks
  3. Error Handling: No sensitive information in error messages
  4. Logging: Audit all security-relevant events
  5. Dependencies: Regular updates and vulnerability scanning

Secret Management

  1. Never commit secrets to version control
  2. Use environment variables or dedicated secret management
  3. Rotate keys regularly using provided scripts
  4. Principle of least privilege for access control

For System Administrators

Deployment Security

  1. Secure Installation: Follow enterprise installation guide
  2. Network Isolation: Deploy in secure network segments
  3. Monitoring: Implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting
  4. Backups: Encrypted backups with secure key management
  5. Updates: Regular security updates and patch management

Access Control

  1. Role-Based Access: Implement appropriate user roles
  2. Multi-Factor Authentication: Enable MFA for all users
  3. Session Management: Configure appropriate timeouts
  4. Audit Reviews: Regular access and audit log reviews

For End Users

Account Security

  1. Strong Passwords: Use unique, complex passwords
  2. Regular Updates: Keep application updated
  3. Secure Environment: Use trusted devices and networks
  4. Lock When Away: Enable auto-lock and manual locking
  5. Report Issues: Report suspicious activity immediately
