Security Considerations

Data Protection

1. Encryption at Rest

   • Database backups encrypted with AES-256
   • Messages encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305
   • Passwords hashed with Argon2

2. Encryption in Transit

   • All APIs should use HTTPS/TLS in production
   • WebSocket connections over WSS
   • Client-side E2E encryption for messages

3. Access Control

   • JWT authentication required for all endpoints
   • Subscription verification for comments
   • Tier-based gating for messaging
   • Database role separation

Audit Logging

All sensitive actions logged to access_logs table:

• User authentications
• Comment creations/deletions
• Message sends/deletes
• API errors

Rate Limiting

Implement rate limiting in production:

• 100 requests/minute per user (comments)
• 20 messages/minute per user (DMs)
• 10 predictions/hour per creator

---

Monitoring & Alerting

Analytics API:

• Prediction request latency (p50, p99)
• Monte Carlo simulation duration
• Database query times

Social API:

• Comment creation rate
