Security Considerations

bac-py implements the BACnet protocol, which is commonly used in building automation and industrial control systems. Key security areas:

  • BACnet Secure Connect (Annex AB): TLS 1.3 transport with mutual certificate authentication. Always use TLS in production environments.
  • Input validation: All decode paths validate buffer bounds, tag lengths, and nesting depth.
  • Logging: Credentials and keys are never included in log output or error messages.
  • Resource limits: Allocation caps on nesting depth, decoded values, and queue sizes to prevent resource exhaustion.
