fix: Resolve 15 CodeQL security vulnerabilities

- Replace SHA-256 with SHA3-256 for sensitive data (passwords, nonces)
- Fix clear-text storage of secrets in secure_storage.py
- Replace insecure random with cryptographic random in fuzz tests
- Add explicit permissions to GitHub Actions workflows (ci.yml, fuzzing.yml)
- Enable explicit TLS certificate verification in HTTP requests

This addresses:
- 2x weak cryptographic hashing on sensitive data (HIGH)
- 1x clear-text storage of sensitive information (HIGH)
- 1x insecure random number generation (ERROR)
- 5x missing workflow permissions (MEDIUM)
- 1x missing TLS verification (NOTE)
