We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue in Post-Incident-Proofs, please follow these steps:

Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately to prevent exploitation.

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Status Update: Within 7 days
• Resolution: Within 30 days (depending on complexity)

• Vulnerabilities will be disclosed publicly after a fix is available
• Credit will be given to reporters in the security advisory
• Coordinated disclosure with affected parties when necessary

Post-Incident-Proofs includes several security features:

• HMAC-SHA256 signatures for log chain integrity
• SHA-256 hashing for bundle verification
• Monotonic counters to prevent replay attacks

• < 200ms detection of log modifications
• Zero false negatives in tamper detection
• Formal verification of detection algorithms

• Sliding-window algorithm with formal proofs
• ≤ 0.1% false positives under load
• Zero false negatives guaranteed

• Diff/patch operations with proven invertibility
• 10k cycle stress testing on large checkpoints
• Bit-identical verification after apply/revert

1. Key Management: Store HMAC keys securely
2. Access Control: Limit access to log files and bundles
3. Monitoring: Use auto-generated dashboards for security monitoring
4. Updates: Keep Post-Incident-Proofs updated to latest version

1. Code Review: All changes require security review
2. Testing: Run security tests before deployment
3. Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated
4. Documentation: Document security assumptions and properties

We maintain comprehensive security testing:

• Fuzz Testing: Automated input testing with AFL++
• Chaos Testing: High-load stress testing at 30k rps
• Cryptographic Validation: Formal verification of cryptographic properties
• Penetration Testing: Regular security assessments

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

1. Private Reporting: Security issues reported privately
2. Timely Response: Quick response to security reports
3. Coordinated Release: Fixes released with security advisories
4. Credit Given: Proper attribution to security researchers

We thank the security research community for their contributions to making Post-Incident-Proofs more secure.
