🛡️ Security Measures in This Project

This project implements the following security controls:

Control Implementation
No standing access All tokens self-destruct at TTL (max 60 min)
Contextual authorization Requests validated against PagerDuty/Jira assignee + status
Idempotent revocation Retry with exponential backoff ensures tokens are revoked
Break-glass quorum Emergency access requires 2-of-3 Ed25519 signatures
Audit trail Every grant and revocation logged as structured JSON
Crash recovery Missed expirations are revoked on restart
Session ceiling Hard cap on total session duration across extensions
Secret hygiene .gitignore prevents accidental secret commits

⚠️ Production Deployment Security Checklist

Before deploying to production, ensure:

  • TLS termination is configured (reverse proxy or native TLS)
  • API endpoints require authentication (mTLS, OAuth2, or API key)
  • config.local.yaml (with real secrets) is NEVER committed
  • Vault token has least-privilege policies (not root token)
  • PagerDuty/Jira API tokens are read-scoped
  • Audit log output is shipped to a SIEM (Splunk, ELK, Datadog)
  • The persistence file path is on encrypted storage
  • Break-glass private keys are distributed offline to approvers only
