Security

Security Against Attacks

  • DDoS Protection: Utilizing decentralized architecture and network protocols to mitigate Distributed Denial of Service attacks.

  • Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Implementing IDS to monitor network traffic for suspicious activities.

  • Regular Security Audits: Engaging third-party firms to conduct comprehensive security assessments.

Smart Contract Security

  • Formal Verification:

    • Applies mathematical proofs to validate smart contract correctness and prevent vulnerabilities.

  • Third-Party Audits:

    • Engages reputable security firms for independent code reviews and penetration testing.

  • Bug Bounty Programs:

    • Incentivizes the community to identify and report issues, enhancing overall security.

  • Continuous Monitoring:

    • Implements automated tools to detect anomalies or unauthorized activities in real-time.

Network Security Protocols

  • Encryption Standards:

    • Employs advanced encryption (e.g., AES-256, SSL/TLS) to protect data in transit and at rest.

  • DDoS Mitigation:

    • Utilizes distributed architectures and network-level protections to resist denial-of-service attacks.

  • Access Controls:

    • Implements strict authentication and authorization mechanisms for network and platform access.

  • Incident Response Plan:

    • Develops comprehensive procedures for responding to security incidents swiftly and effectively.

Data Privacy and Encryption

  • End-to-End Encryption:

    • Ensures that user data and computational results are encrypted throughout the processing lifecycle.

  • Privacy-Preserving Technologies:

    • Explores homomorphic encryption and secure multi-party computation to enhance privacy.

  • Regulatory Compliance:

    • Adheres to data protection laws such as GDPR and CCPA, respecting user rights and privacy.

  • Data Minimization:

    • Collects only necessary data and employs anonymization techniques where appropriate.

Regulatory Compliance

  • Legal Framework:

    • Operates within the legal requirements of jurisdictions where services are offered.

  • KYC/AML Procedures:

    • Implements Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering protocols to prevent illicit activities.
