# Security Policy

> **Pre-1.0 status.** AIM is in active hardening. The capabilities described in this document reflect target behavior. Several streams of work are open before we recommend production deployment, and we track them publicly in [HARDENING.md](HARDENING.md). Use AIM today for evaluation, development, and internal testing. Do not deploy it to environments handling untrusted tenants or sensitive data until the items in HARDENING.md are closed.

## Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

The Agent Identity Management (AIM) team takes security seriously. We appreciate the security research community's efforts in responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities.

### Please Report Security Issues Responsibly

**DO NOT** open public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by emailing:

**info@opena2a.org**

### What to Include in Your Report

To help us assess and address the vulnerability quickly, please include:

- **Description**: A clear description of the vulnerability
- **Impact**: The potential impact if exploited
- **Reproduction Steps**: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
- **Proof of Concept**: Code or screenshots demonstrating the vulnerability (if applicable)
- **Suggested Fix**: If you have ideas on how to fix it (optional)
- **Your Contact Information**: So we can follow up with questions

### What to Expect

1. **Acknowledgment**: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
2. **Assessment**: We will assess the vulnerability and determine its severity
3. **Updates**: We will keep you informed of our progress
4. **Fix**: We will work on a fix and coordinate disclosure timing with you
5. **Credit**: We will credit you in our security advisories (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

### Disclosure Timeline

- **Day 0**: Vulnerability reported to info@opena2a.org
- **Day 1-2**: Acknowledgment sent to reporter
- **Day 3-7**: Assessment and severity determination
- **Day 7-30**: Development and testing of fix
- **Day 30-90**: Coordinated public disclosure after fix is deployed

We ask that you:
- Give us reasonable time to fix the vulnerability before public disclosure
- Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, data destruction, and service disruption
- Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond what is necessary to demonstrate it

## Supported Versions

- **AES-256-GCM**: Authenticated encryption for stored private keys (NIST SP 800-38D)
- **SHA-256 API Key Hashing**: Secure API key storage
- **bcrypt (cost=12)**: Password hashing per OWASP guidelines
- **TLS 1.2+**: Encrypted data in transit (TLS 1.3 recommended)

#### Cryptographic Standards Reference

| Component | Algorithm | Key Size | Standard |
|-----------|-----------|----------|----------|
| Agent Signatures | Ed25519 | 256-bit | RFC 8032 |
| JWT Signing | HMAC-SHA256 | 256-bit | RFC 7519 |
| Key Encryption | AES-256-GCM | 256-bit | NIST SP 800-38D |
| Password Hashing | bcrypt | cost=12 | OWASP |
| API Key Hashing | SHA-256 | 256-bit | FIPS 180-4 |

### Application Security
- **Input Validation**: Comprehensive request validation
- **SQL Injection Prevention**: Parameterized queries throughout
- **XSS Protection**: Content Security Policy and output encoding
- **CSRF Protection**: Token-based CSRF prevention
- **Rate Limiting**: API request throttling
- **Audit Logging**: Comprehensive security event logging

### Infrastructure Security
- **Environment Variables**: No hardcoded secrets
- **Docker Security**: Non-root containers, minimal base images
- **Database Encryption**: Encrypted connections required
- **Secret Management**: Secure credential handling

## Security Best Practices

### For Deployment

1. **Always use HTTPS** in production
2. **Keep dependencies updated** regularly
3. **Use strong passwords** for database and admin accounts
4. **Enable audit logging** for compliance
5. **Configure proper CORS** policies
6. **Use secrets management** solutions (not .env files in production)
7. **Regular security updates** - apply patches promptly

### For Development

1. **Never commit secrets** to version control
2. **Use .env.example** as template, never commit .env
3. **Run security scanners** before commits
4. **Review dependencies** for known vulnerabilities
5. **Follow least privilege** principle
6. **Validate all inputs** from users
7. **Test authentication** and authorization flows

## Security Audits

We conduct regular security assessments:

- **Code Reviews**: All code changes are reviewed
- **Dependency Scanning**: Automated vulnerability scanning
- **Penetration Testing**: Periodic security audits
- **Compliance Reviews**: SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR assessments

## Enterprise Compliance

### SOC 2 Type II Alignment

| Control Area | Implementation |
|--------------|----------------|
| CC6.1 Logical Access | RBAC, JWT authentication, API key scoping |
| CC6.6 System Boundaries | Network segmentation, CORS, rate limiting |
| CC6.7 Data Classification | Credential encryption, log sanitization |
| CC6.8 Data Retention | Configurable retention, secure deletion |
| CC7.1 Configuration Management | Environment variables, no hardcoded secrets |
| CC7.2 Change Management | Git history, audit logs |

### GDPR Compliance

- **Data Minimization**: Only essential data collected
- **Right to Erasure**: Agent and credential deletion supported
- **Encryption**: All PII encrypted at rest and in transit
- **Audit Trail**: Complete logging of data access
- **No PII in Logs**: Token IDs and sensitive data truncated/hashed

### Security Logging (SOC/SIEM Integration)

AIM provides JSON Lines format security logs compatible with:
- Splunk
- ELK Stack
- Datadog
- Sumo Logic
- AWS CloudWatch

```python
# Enable security logging
from aim_sdk import configure_security_logging
configure_security_logging()
```

Environment variables:
- `AIM_SECURITY_LOG_FILE`: Path to security log file
- `AIM_SECURITY_LOG_LEVEL`: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
- `AIM_SECURITY_LOG_STDOUT`: Include stdout logging (true/false)

## Known Security Considerations

### Multi-Tenancy
- Organizations are strictly isolated at the database level
- API keys are scoped to specific organizations
- Users cannot access resources outside their organization

### API Security
- All API endpoints require authentication
- Rate limiting prevents abuse
- Input validation prevents injection attacks
- Comprehensive audit logging for compliance

### Trust Scoring
- Trust scores use multiple factors to prevent gaming
- Historical data prevents sudden score manipulation
- ML models are trained on verified data

3. **Fix Development**: We develop and test the fix
4. **Coordinated Release**: We coordinate public disclosure with reporter
5. **Public Advisory**: We publish security advisory after fix deployment

## Bug Bounty Program

We do not currently have a formal bug bounty program, but we:
- **Acknowledge** all valid security reports
- **Credit** researchers in security advisories
- **Fast-track** security fixes
- May consider **rewards** for critical vulnerabilities on a case-by-case basis

- Do not violate privacy or destroy data
- Do not disrupt our services

Thank you for helping keep AIM and our users safe!
