DB Storage Manager is designed with security as a top priority. All sensitive data is encrypted, and the application operates in a secure, local-only environment.

• Algorithm: Fernet (symmetric encryption, AES 128 in CBC mode)
• Library: cryptography (Python)
• Key Management: Master key generated per installation
• Storage: Encrypted credentials stored locally in user data directory
• Transmission: No external data transmission
• Key Storage: Master key stored in .master-key file with restrictive permissions

• Default Behavior: Blocks dangerous operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc.)
• User Override: Explicit confirmation required to disable
• Protection: Prevents accidental data modification
• Query Validation: Validates queries before execution
• Audit Trail: Logs all operations (planned)

• Encryption: SSH-2 protocol
• Authentication: Password or key-based
• Tunneling: Secure remote database access
• Validation: Connection testing before use

• Encryption: TLS/SSL for database connections (when supported)
• Validation: Input sanitization and validation
• Timeouts: Connection timeout protection
• Credentials: Never stored in plain text
• Connection Strings: Encrypted in storage

• No Telemetry: Disabled by default
• No External Calls: All operations local (except database connections and cloud backups)
• Data Retention: User-controlled data storage
• Offline Capable: Works without internet (except cloud backup features)

• Memory Security: Secure memory handling, credentials cleared after use
• Temporary Files: Secure cleanup of temporary backup files
• Logs: No sensitive data in logs
• Cache: Encrypted cache storage (if implemented)

• Local Authentication: System-based authentication (OS level)
• Session Management: Secure session handling
• Access Control: File system permissions for data files
• Audit Logging: Security event logging (planned)

• SQL Injection: Parameterized queries, input sanitization
• XSS Protection: Input sanitization for UI
• Path Traversal: Secure file handling, path validation
• Buffer Overflow: Python's memory safety, bounds checking
• Type Validation: Type checking for all inputs

• Algorithm: AES 128 in CBC mode
• Authentication: HMAC-SHA256
• Key Size: 256 bits (32 bytes)
• IV: Random 128-bit IV per encryption
• Padding: PKCS7 padding

• Master Key: Generated using Fernet.generate_key()
• Key Storage: Stored in .master-key file
• Permissions: Restrictive file permissions (600 on Unix)
• Key Rotation: Not currently supported (planned)

1. Keep Updated: Always use the latest version
2. Secure Storage: Use strong system passwords
3. Network Security: Use VPN for remote connections
4. Regular Backups: Encrypt backup files
5. Access Control: Limit user access to application data directory
6. Safe Mode: Keep safe mode enabled for production databases
7. Credentials: Use strong database passwords

1. Code Review: Security-focused code review
2. Dependency Updates: Keep dependencies updated
3. Security Testing: Regular security audits
4. Input Validation: Validate all inputs
5. Error Handling: Secure error messages (no sensitive data)
6. Encryption: Use established libraries (cryptography)
7. Secrets Management: Never hardcode credentials
