Security Best Practices for Using brain4j

Data Protection

  • Models trained with brain4j may contain sensitive information from training data
  • Always sanitize and anonymize sensitive data before using it for training
  • Consider data minimization principles when developing ML applications

Model Security

  • Be cautious when using models from untrusted sources
  • Validate inputs to prevent injection attacks or model manipulation
  • Consider implementing rate limiting for prediction endpoints

Native Code Considerations

Since brain4j contains native C (OpenCL) code, users should be aware of:

  • Potential memory safety concerns when using native functionality
  • The importance of keeping the library updated to receive security patches
  • Additional system-level security implications

Security Development Process

The brain4j team follows these practices to minimize security risks:

  1. Regular code reviews with security focus
  2. Automated testing and static analysis
  3. Dependency vulnerability scanning
  4. Periodic security assessments
