| 30 | + |
| 31 | +4. Allow up to 48 hours for an initial response to your report. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +### What to expect |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- A response acknowledging your report within 48 hours. |
| 36 | +- An evaluation of the reported vulnerability. |
| 37 | +- A plan for addressing the vulnerability, if confirmed. |
| 38 | +- A public disclosure after the vulnerability has been addressed. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +We appreciate your efforts and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Security Measures in SecurePassManager |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +SecurePassManager implements the following security measures: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +### Encryption |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +- AES-256 encryption in GCM mode for all stored data. |
| 49 | +- Encryption keys are derived from the user's master password using a secure key derivation function. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +### Key Derivation |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with a minimum of 100,000 iterations. |
| 54 | +- A unique salt is generated for each user to prevent rainbow table attacks. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### Memory Protection |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- Sensitive data (e.g., master password, encryption keys) is securely wiped from memory after use. |
| 59 | +- We use `mlock()` to prevent sensitive memory pages from being swapped to disk. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### Input Validation and Sanitization |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- All user inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent injection attacks and buffer overflows. |
| 64 | +- We use prepared statements for any operations involving user input. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### Local Operation |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +- SecurePassManager operates entirely locally, with no network communication, eliminating risks associated with data transmission. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Secure Random Number Generation |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- We use cryptographically secure random number generators (provided by OpenSSL) for all security-critical operations. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +### Version Control and Code Signing |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- All releases are tagged and signed with GPG keys. |
| 77 | +- We provide checksums for all released binaries. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +## Best Practices for Users |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +To maximize security when using SecurePassManager: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +1. Use a strong, unique master password (we recommend at least 16 characters). |
| 84 | +2. Never share your master password or store it in plain text. |
| 85 | +3. Regularly update to the latest version of SecurePassManager. |
| 86 | +4. Use full-disk encryption on your device. |
| 87 | +5. Be cautious when exporting password data and securely delete any exported files when no longer needed. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +## Third-Party Libraries |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +SecurePassManager uses the following third-party libraries: |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +- OpenSSL 3.3.0 or later: For cryptographic operations |
| 94 | +- liboath 2.6.7 or later: For TOTP functionality |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +We monitor these dependencies for security updates and incorporate them promptly. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +## Security Audits |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +We are open to independent security audits. If you're interested in conducting a security audit, please contact us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +## Threat Model |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +SecurePassManager is designed to protect against: |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +1. Unauthorized access to the password database file |
| 107 | +2. Memory dumping attacks |
| 108 | +3. Brute-force attacks on the master password |
| 109 | +4. Tampering with the application binary |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +It does not protect against: |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +1. Malware on the user's system |
| 114 | +2. Physical access to the user's unlocked device |
| 115 | +3. Weakness of individual passwords stored in the database |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +## Disclaimer |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +While we strive for the highest level of security, no system is 100% secure. Users should use SecurePassManager as part of a comprehensive security strategy. |
| 120 | + |
