Security in AegisCode

Your privacy and security are our top priorities. AegisCode is designed with security-first principles to ensure your code and data remain completely under your control.

Core Security Features

πŸ”’ Self-Hosted Architecture

  • Complete Control: Your code never leaves your environment
  • No Cloud Dependencies: All processing happens locally
  • Data Sovereignty: You own and control all your data

πŸ›‘οΈ Sandboxed Execution

  • Docker Containers: All code runs in isolated containers
  • Resource Limits: CPU, memory, and disk usage are restricted
  • Network Isolation: Controlled network access for security
  • Process Isolation: Code cannot access host system resources

πŸ” Encrypted Storage

  • At-Rest Encryption: All user data encrypted with AES-256
  • Key Management: Secure key generation and storage
  • Database Encryption: Sensitive data encrypted in PostgreSQL
  • File System Protection: Uploaded files encrypted on disk

🚫 Zero Telemetry (Default)

  • No Data Collection: No usage data sent externally by default
  • Opt-In Only: Telemetry can be enabled if desired
  • Local Analytics: Optional local usage statistics
  • Privacy by Design: Privacy is the default, not an afterthought

Security Architecture

Authentication & Authorization

// JWT-based authentication
const token = jwt.sign(
    { userId, role, permissions },
    process.env.JWT_SECRET,
    { expiresIn: '24h' }
);

// Role-based access control
const hasPermission = (user, resource, action) => {
    return user.permissions.includes(`${resource}:${action}`);
};

Data Protection

  • Input Validation: All inputs sanitized and validated
  • SQL Injection Prevention: Parameterized queries only
  • XSS Protection: Content Security Policy headers
  • CSRF Protection: Anti-forgery tokens

Network Security

  • HTTPS Only: All communications encrypted in transit
  • CORS Configuration: Restricted cross-origin requests
  • Rate Limiting: API endpoint protection
  • Firewall Rules: Network access controls

Best Practices

For Administrators

  1. Keep Systems Updated

    # Regular security updates
    npm audit fix
    docker system prune
  2. Use Strong Authentication

    • Enable 2FA for admin accounts
    • Use strong, unique passwords
    • Regular password rotation
  3. Monitor Access

    • Review access logs regularly
    • Monitor failed login attempts
    • Set up security alerts
  4. Backup Security

    • Encrypt backup data
    • Test restore procedures
    • Store backups securely

For Developers

  1. Secure Coding Practices

    // Always validate input
    const sanitizedInput = validator.escape(userInput);
    
    // Use parameterized queries
    const result = await db.query(
        'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1',
        [userId]
    );
  2. Extension Security

    • Review extension permissions
    • Use trusted extension sources
    • Regular security audits
  3. API Security

    • Implement proper authentication
    • Use HTTPS endpoints
    • Validate all inputs
