# Security and Encryption

**Security Protocols**

White Basics prioritizes platform and user data security, implementing a multi-layered protection system:

* **TLS/SSL:** All connections are encrypted using the TLS 1.3 protocol, ensuring secure data transmission between client and server.
* **End-to-End Encryption (E2EE):** Applied to protect users' confidential information, such as private keys and personal messages.
* **OAuth 2.0 Protocol:** Used for secure authorization and authentication of users when integrating with external services.
* **HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code):** Applied to verify data integrity when transmitting between microservices.
* **Secure Multi-party Computation (MPC):** Used for distributed storage and management of cryptographic keys, minimizing the risk of compromise.

**Key Management and Authentication**

The key management and authentication system in White Basics is designed with best practices in cryptography and security in mind:

* **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):** Mandatory for all users, with support for various second factor methods (SMS, email, TOTP, hardware keys).
* **Password Storage:** The bcrypt algorithm with individual salt for each password is used, making it virtually impossible to crack them even in case of a database leak.
* **Session Management:** A token rotation mechanism and limited session lifetime are applied to minimize risks in case of compromise.
* **Hardware Security Modules (HSM):** Used for secure storage of master keys and performing critical cryptographic operations.
* **Biometric Authentication:** Supported in the mobile application for an additional layer of protection.

**Protection Against Attacks**

White Basics implements a comprehensive approach to protection against various types of attacks:

* **DDoS Protection:** A combination of cloud services (AWS Shield, Cloudflare) and proprietary solutions for traffic filtering and distribution is used.
* **Web Application Firewall (WAF):** Applied to protect against common web vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, XSS, CSRF.
* **Rate Limiting:** Implemented at the API level to prevent abuse and brute-force attacks.
* **Sandbox for Smart Contracts:** All user smart contracts are executed in an isolated environment to prevent potential attacks on the main system.
* **Monitoring and Anomaly Analysis:** Machine learning systems are used to detect suspicious activity and potential threats in real-time.
* **Regular Security Audits:** Conducted by external cybersecurity experts to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
* **Bug Bounty Program:** Encourages white hat hackers to search for and report vulnerabilities in the system.
* **Phishing Protection:** Mechanisms for verifying domains and email addresses are implemented to prevent phishing attacks on users.

All these measures collectively create a reliable security system that is constantly being improved to counter new threats and ensure maximum protection of users and assets on the White Basics platform.
