Security Considerations
Third-Party Audits: Our smart-contract will be rigorously audited by reputable third-party security firms specializing in blockchain technology. This process involves:
Code Review: Comprehensive analysis of the smart contract code to identify vulnerabilities, such as reentrancy attacks, memory overflows, and unauthorized access.
Formal Verification: Mathematical methods are used to prove the correctness of the contract's logic, ensuring it behaves as intended under all conditions.
Penetration Testing: Simulated cyber-attacks are conducted to test the contract's resilience against potential threats.
Ongoing Security Updates: The development team commits to regular updates and maintenance of the smart contracts, incorporating the latest security best practices and responding promptly to newly discovered vulnerabilities.
TLS/SSL Protocols: All data transmitted between users and the platform's servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS), preventing interception and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Database Encryption: Sensitive data stored in the PostgreSQL database, such as personal information and transaction histories, is encrypted at rest using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit keys.
Secure Key Management: Robust key management protocols safeguard cryptographic keys by utilizing hardware security modules (HSMs). These HSMs will be integrated with the platform's backend services, ensuring that all cryptographic operations, such as encryption and decryption, are performed within a secure environment. Additionally, the platform will use advanced key rotation policies, periodically rotating keys to minimize the risk of exposure, and employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for any administrative access to the key management systems. This approach ensures that cryptographic keys remain protected against unauthorized access and potential breaches..
Data Protection Laws:
GDPR Compliance: For users in the European Union, Kuroshio adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring users have control over their personal data, including rights to access, correct, and delete their information.
CCPA Compliance: For users in California, compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides similar protections.
KYC and AML Procedures:
Know Your Customer (KYC): Verification processes are in place for industry leaders and, where applicable, entrepreneurs, to prevent fraudulent activities and ensure the legitimacy of users.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML): Transaction monitoring and reporting mechanisms detect and prevent money laundering activities, in compliance with international financial regulations.
Legal Framework:
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy: Clear and comprehensive policies outline user rights and responsibilities, data usage, and consent.
Firewall and Intrusion Detection Systems:
Firewalls: Protect servers from unauthorized access and network attacks by filtering traffic based on predefined security rules.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): Monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and automatically take action to prevent potential breaches.
DDoS Protection:
Cloud-Based Mitigation Services: Utilizing services like AWS Shield or Cloudflare to protect against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, ensuring platform availability even under malicious traffic loads.
