Security Best Practices Guide

Comprehensive security guidelines for ObjectStack Protocol implementations

Authentication & Authorization

Strong Authentication

const authConfig = {
  providers: [
    {
      type: 'email_password',
      passwordPolicy: {
        minLength: 12,
        requireUppercase: true,
        requireNumbers: true,
        requireSpecialChars: true,
      },
    },
  ],
  twoFactor: {
    enabled: true,
    required: true,
  },
};

Session Management

  • Use short session lifetimes (1-24 hours)
  • Set secure cookie flags (httpOnly, secure, sameSite)
  • Invalidate sessions on password change

RBAC

  • Implement least privilege principle
  • Use role-based access control
  • Apply field-level security

Data Protection

Encryption

  • Encrypt sensitive fields at rest
  • Use HTTPS/TLS for all traffic
  • Implement proper key management

Data Masking

  • Mask sensitive data in logs
  • Sanitize error messages
  • Redact PII in responses

API Security

Rate Limiting

  • Limit API requests per user
  • Block brute force attacks
  • Implement exponential backoff

Input Validation

  • Validate all inputs with Zod schemas
  • Use parameterized queries
  • Prevent SQL/NoSQL injection

CORS & CSRF

  • Configure CORS properly
  • Enable CSRF protection
  • Validate origin headers

Secrets Management

  • Store secrets in environment variables
  • Never commit secrets to git
  • Rotate secrets regularly
  • Use secret management services

Audit & Compliance

Audit Logging

  • Log security events
  • Track data access
  • Monitor authentication attempts

Compliance

  • GDPR data export/erasure
  • HIPAA encryption requirements
  • SOC2 audit trails

Security Checklist

  • [ ] HTTPS enforced
  • [ ] MFA enabled
  • [ ] Rate limiting configured
  • [ ] Input validation on all endpoints
  • [ ] Secrets in environment variables
  • [ ] Audit logging enabled
  • [ ] Regular security updates
