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 Authentication API.

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: SSL/HTTPS Configuration

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 ../testing-guide for details.
