Security
========

This section covers security considerations for LUStores deployment, including authentication, authorization, SSL/HTTPS configuration, and secure deployment practices.

Overview
--------

Security is implemented through multiple layers:

- **Authentication & Authorization**: Role-based access control with OAuth integration
- **SSL/HTTPS**: Secure transport layer with Let's Encrypt certificates
- **Security Headers**: Modern web security headers and Content Security Policy
- **Rate Limiting**: Protection against abuse and DoS attacks
- **Secure Deployment**: Container security and infrastructure hardening

Security Features
-----------------

Authentication and Authorization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

User authentication and role-based authorization are detailed in :doc:`../api/authentication`.

SSL/HTTPS Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For comprehensive SSL/HTTPS setup with Let's Encrypt certificates, including:

- Nginx reverse proxy configuration
- Automatic certificate renewal
- Security headers and rate limiting
- Production deployment procedures

See: :doc:`ssl-https`

Network Security
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- **Firewall Configuration**: Only necessary ports (80, 443) exposed
- **Container Isolation**: Docker network segmentation
- **Database Security**: PostgreSQL with restricted access
- **Session Management**: Secure session storage with Redis

Security testing is included in the System Management test suite. See :doc:`../testing-guide` for details.
