This document outlines the comprehensive security measures implemented in the Todo App to protect against common vulnerabilities and ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and availability.

The application implements multiple layers of security:

1. Network Security: Firewalls, network policies, and secure communication
2. Application Security: Input validation, authentication, and authorization
3. Data Security: Encryption at rest and in transit
4. Infrastructure Security: Container security and runtime protection
5. Operational Security: Monitoring, logging, and incident response

// JWT token structure
{
  "sub": "user_id",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "role": "user",
  "iat": 1234567890,
  "exp": 1234567890
}

Security Features:

• Short-lived access tokens (15 minutes)
• Refresh token rotation
• Token blacklisting on logout
• Secure token storage (httpOnly cookies)

// Password hashing with bcrypt
const saltRounds = 12;
const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds);

Security Features:

• bcrypt with 12 salt rounds
• Password complexity requirements
• Password history prevention
• Account lockout after failed attempts

// Role definitions
enum UserRole {
  ADMIN = 'admin',
  USER = 'user',
  GUEST = 'guest'
}

// Permission matrix
const permissions = {
  [UserRole.ADMIN]: ['read', 'write', 'delete', 'admin'],
  [UserRole.USER]: ['read', 'write'],
  [UserRole.GUEST]: ['read']
};

// Task creation validation
const createTaskSchema = Joi.object({
  title: Joi.string().min(1).max(100).required(),
  description: Joi.string().max(500).optional(),
  priority: Joi.string().valid('low', 'medium', 'high').required(),
  status: Joi.string().valid('todo', 'in_progress', 'done').required(),
  dueDate: Joi.date().iso().optional()
});

Security Features:

• Strict input validation
• SQL injection prevention
• XSS protection
• Data type enforcement
• Length limits and format validation

// HTML sanitization
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';

const sanitizedInput = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);

• Database: PostgreSQL with TDE (Transparent Data Encryption)
• Secrets: Kubernetes secrets with encryption
• Backups: Encrypted backup storage
• Logs: Encrypted log storage

• HTTPS: TLS 1.3 for all communications
• Database: SSL/TLS for database connections
• Internal: mTLS for service-to-service communication
• API: JWT tokens for API authentication

// Data sensitivity levels
enum DataSensitivity {
  PUBLIC = 'public',
  INTERNAL = 'internal',
  CONFIDENTIAL = 'confidential',
  RESTRICTED = 'restricted'
}
