-# Demo Plugin - Plugin Development Framework
+# 🔐 Secure Demo Plugin
 
-This repository serves as a **template and development framework** for creating TopLocs plugins. It demonstrates how to build plugins that integrate with the TopLocs decentralized community platform.
+A comprehensive demonstration of secure plugin development for the TopLocs decentralized P2P platform. This plugin showcases all security mechanisms, plugin architecture patterns, and best practices.
 
-## Purpose
+## 🎯 What This Demo Shows
 
-The demo-plugin repository shows how to:
-- Create federated Vue.js components using Module Federation
-- Integrate with Gun.js for decentralized data storage
-- Build plugin UIs that match the TopLocs design system
-- Test plugin functionality in isolation
+### **🔐 Security Mechanisms Demonstrated:**
 
-## Structure
+1. **Plugin Identity & Signatures**
+   - Cryptographic plugin identity using Gun SEA
+   - Digital signatures for all plugin data
+   - Verification of data integrity and authenticity
 
-```
-demo-plugin/
-├── demo-frontend/       # Plugin host application (for testing)
-├── demo-plugin/         # Example plugin implementation
-├── events-plugin/       # Event management plugin example
-└── wiki-plugin/         # Wiki plugin example
-```
+2. **User Encryption & Privacy**
+   - End-to-end encryption in user's private space
+   - Public signed data for transparent information
+   - Group encryption with shared secrets
+
+3. **Permission System**
+   - Explicit user consent for plugin capabilities
+   - Granular permissions (read, write, encrypt, share)
+   - Capability verification before data access
+
+4. **Content-Addressed Storage**
+   - IPFS-style content identification (CIDs)
+   - Tamper-proof data verification
+   - Decentralized content distribution
+
+5. **Plugin-to-Plugin Communication**
+   - End-to-end encrypted messaging between plugins
+   - Secure data sharing across plugin boundaries
+   - Cryptographic channel establishment
+
+### **🏗️ Plugin Architecture Patterns:**
+
+1. **Component Exposure**
+   - `./Main` - Primary content area component
+   - `./Sidebar` - Sidebar widget component  
+   - `./Settings` - Plugin configuration interface
+   - `./EntityProvider` - Data provider composable
+   - `./EntityTypes` - Custom entity definitions
 
-## Getting Started
+2. **Route Integration**
+   - Dynamic route registration via Gun.js
+   - Route-based component loading
+   - URL parameter handling
+
+3. **Entity System Extension**
+   - Custom entity types (SecureNote)
+   - Custom relation definitions
+   - Cross-plugin entity references
+
+4. **Data Provider Pattern**
+   - Vue composable for data management
+   - Reactive state management
+   - Encrypted data persistence
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### **For Plugin Developers:**
 
-### 1. Clone and Setup
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/toplocs/demo-plugin.git
+# Clone and examine the demo plugin
 cd demo-plugin
 pnpm install
+pnpm dev
 ```
 
-### 2. Start Development Environment
-```bash
-pnpm dev  # Starts plugin host and example plugins
-```
+### **For TopLocs Integration:**
 
-### 3. Create Your Plugin
-1. Copy one of the example plugins as a template
-2. Modify `vite.config.ts` for Module Federation
-3. Update plugin components and data integration
-4. Test with the demo-frontend host
+1. **Load Plugin in TopLocs:**
+   ```typescript
+   // Plugin loads automatically via Gun.js discovery
+   gun.get('plugins').get('secure-demo-plugin').put({
+     name: 'Secure Demo Plugin',
+     url: 'http://localhost:3001/plugin.js',
+     author: 'plugin-public-key'
+   });
+   ```
 
-## Plugin Development Guide
+2. **Access Plugin Components:**
+   ```vue
+   <!-- Main content area -->
+   <PluginComponent plugin="secure-demo-plugin" position="Main" />
+
+   <!-- Sidebar widget -->
+   <PluginComponent plugin="secure-demo-plugin" position="Sidebar" />
+   ```

+## 🔧 Plugin Development Guide
 
-## Key Concepts
+### **1. Security-First Development:**
 
-### Module Federation
-Plugins use Webpack Module Federation to load dynamically:
+```typescript
+// Always sign plugin data
+const signedData = await SEA.sign(data, pluginKeys);
+gun.get(`plugin-${pluginId}/${id}`).put({
+  data,
+  signature: signedData,
+  author: pluginKeys.pub
+});
+
+// Request user permissions explicitly
+const permission = await requestUserPermission('write', 'user-data');
+
+// Encrypt sensitive data
+const encrypted = await gun.user()._.sea.encrypt(sensitiveData);
+```
+
+### **2. Component Architecture:**
 
 ```typescript
-// vite.config.ts
-federation({
-  name: 'your-plugin',
-  filename: 'plugin.js',
+// Export multiple component types
+export default {
   exposes: {
-    './Main': './src/components/Main.vue',
-    './Settings': './src/components/Settings.vue'
-  },
-  shared: ['vue', 'tailwindcss']
-})
+    './Main': './src/components/MainComponent.vue',
+    './Sidebar': './src/components/SidebarWidget.vue',
+    './Settings': './src/components/PluginSettings.vue',
+    './Modal': './src/components/ModalComponent.vue'
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### **3. Entity System Integration:**
+
+```typescript
+// Define custom entities
+export interface CustomEntity extends BaseEntity {
+  pluginId: string;
+  customField: string;
+}
+
+// Register custom relations
+export const customRelations = [
+  {
+    id: 'custom-relation',
+    accepts: ['CustomEntity', 'Topic'],
+    icon: 'link'
+  }
+];
+```
+
+### **4. Data Provider Pattern:**
+
+```typescript
+export function customProvider() {
+  const data = ref([]);
+
+  // Gun.js integration
+  onMounted(() => {
+    gun.get(`plugin-${pluginId}`)
+      .map()
+      .once((item) => data.value.push(item));
+  });
+
+  provide('customData', { data, createItem, updateItem });
+}
 ```
 
-### Gun.js Integration
-All plugins share the Gun.js decentralized database:
+## 🔒 Security Best Practices
+
+### **✅ DO:**
+- Sign all public plugin data
+- Request explicit user permissions
+- Encrypt sensitive data at rest
+- Verify signatures on incoming data
+- Use content addressing for immutable data
+- Implement capability-based security
+
+### **❌ DON'T:**
+- Store unencrypted sensitive data
+- Access data without user permission
+- Trust unsigned plugin data
+- Hardcode cryptographic keys
+- Bypass Gun.js encryption
+- Use eval() or similar dynamic execution
+
+## 📊 Plugin Slot System
+
+### **Available Plugin Slots:**
+
+| Slot | Usage | Component | Description |
+|------|--------|-----------|-------------|
+| `Main` | Content area | `./Main` | Primary plugin interface |
+| `Sidebar` | Right sidebar | `./Sidebar` | Quick actions/status |
+| `Settings` | Settings page | `./Settings` | Plugin configuration |
+| `Modal` | Dialog/popup | `./Modal` | Overlay interactions |
+
+### **Route Integration:**
+
+```typescript
+// Routes are registered automatically via Gun.js
+gun.get('plugins').get(pluginId).get('paths').put({
+  path: '/secure-demo/:id?',
+  component: 'Main',
+  name: 'SecureDemoView'
+});
+```
+
+## 🌐 Entity & Relation System
+
+### **Custom Entity Definition:**
+
+```typescript
+export const pluginEntityDefinition = {
+  pluginId: 'secure-demo-plugin',
+  entities: [{
+    type: 'SecureNote',
+    name: 'Secure Note',
+    namespace: 'secure-notes',
+    schema: {
+      required: ['title', 'content'],
+      optional: ['tags', 'sharedWith']
+    }
+  }],
+  relations: secureNoteRelations
+};
+```
+
+### **Cross-Plugin Relations:**
+
+```typescript
+// Relate plugin entities to core entities
+const relation = {
+  from: 'secure-note-id',
+  to: 'topic-id',
+  type: 'tags',
+  pluginId: 'secure-demo-plugin'
+};
+
+gun.get('relations').get(relation.from).get(relation.type).set(relation);
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Development Tools
+
+### **Debug Commands (Dev Mode):**
 
 ```javascript
-// Plugin data integration
-gun.get('plugins').get('your-plugin').put(data)
+// Available in browser console
+gun.debug.showPluginData('secure-demo-plugin');
+gun.debug.showUserData();
+gun.debug.clearPluginData('secure-demo-plugin');
+
+// Security utilities
+gun.secure.verifyPlugin(pluginData);
+gun.secure.createCID(data);
+gun.secure.hasCapability(userPub, pluginId, 'write');
+```
+
+### **Testing Patterns:**
+
+```typescript
+// Test encrypted data
+const encrypted = await storeEncryptedData(testData, true);
+const decrypted = await gun.user()._.sea.decrypt(encrypted);
+assert(decrypted.content === testData.content);
+
+// Test signatures
+const signed = await SEA.sign(testData, pluginKeys);
+const verified = await SEA.verify(signed, pluginKeys.pub);
+assert(verified === testData);
 ```
