Security Policy

Introduction

At CryptoShark AI, security is fundamental to everything we do. This Security Policy outlines our comprehensive approach to protecting your data, securing our platform, and maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity. We employ enterprise-grade security measures to safeguard your personal information, trading data, and financial assets.

Our security framework is built on industry best practices, continuous monitoring, and proactive threat detection. We are committed to transparency about our security measures while maintaining the confidentiality necessary to protect our systems from potential threats.

Data Protection and Encryption

Encryption Standards

We implement multiple layers of encryption to protect your data:

• Data at Rest: All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies
• Data in Transit: All communications are secured using TLS 1.3 encryption, ensuring your data is protected during transmission
• API Key Protection: Trading API keys are encrypted using RSA encryption with 2048-bit keys before storage
• Database Encryption: Our Supabase database implements row-level security with encrypted storage

Secure Session Management

We employ advanced session management techniques:

• Secure session storage with encrypted cookies
• Session isolation to prevent data leakage between users
• Automatic session expiration and renewal
• HttpOnly and SameSite cookie attributes for enhanced security
• Session invalidation upon password changes

Data Masking and Anonymization

Sensitive data is protected through:

• Automatic masking of API keys in logs and user interfaces
• Anonymization of personal data in analytics
• Secure data disposal and retention policies
• Regular data audits and cleanup procedures

Authentication and Access Control

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

We provide robust authentication options:

• Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) authentication
• SMS-based verification for account recovery
• Email verification for sensitive account changes
• Biometric authentication support where available

OAuth Integration

Secure third-party authentication through:

• Google OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange)
• GitHub OAuth for developer accounts
• Discord OAuth for community integration
• Secure token management and refresh mechanisms

Password Security

Strong password requirements and management:

• Minimum 8 characters with complexity requirements
• Uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters
• Secure password hashing using industry-standard algorithms
• Password change verification with current password confirmation
• Rate limiting on password change attempts

API Security and Trading Protection

Binance API Integration Security

Our trading functionality implements multiple security layers:

• Server-Side Proxy: All API requests are routed through our secure server to prevent client-side exposure
• HMAC-SHA256 Signatures: All authenticated requests use cryptographic signatures for verification
• IP Whitelisting: API keys are restricted to specific IP addresses for enhanced security
• Permission Scoping: API keys are configured with minimal required permissions
• Testnet Support: Safe testing environment for strategy validation

Rate Limiting and DDoS Protection

We implement comprehensive rate limiting:

• Request-based rate limiting (10 requests per 10 seconds)
• Weight-based rate limiting for API efficiency
• User-specific rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Automatic queue management for high-traffic periods
• DDoS protection through Cloudflare integration

CORS and Cross-Origin Security

Strict cross-origin resource sharing policies:

• Whitelist-based origin validation
