Overview
🔒 This section outlines the core security policies for API interactions, ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and compliance with global standards.
Key principles include:
- Authentication: Mandatory for all endpoints (see Authentication Methods for details)
- Data Encryption: AES-256 for transit and at rest
- Access Control: Role-based permissions enforced via OAuth 2.0
Authentication
🔐 OAuth 2.0 is required for secure token-based access.
- Token validity: 1 hour
- Refresh tokens: Issued with scope restrictions
For API key management, refer to API Keys Documentation.
Data Encryption
🛡️ HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted via HTTPS (TLS 1.2+).
- AES-256 for payload encryption
- TLS key rotation every 90 days
Rate Limiting
⚡ Prevent abuse with rate-limiting policies:
- 100 requests/minute per IP
- 10 requests/second per API key
Compliance
✅ Adherence to international regulations:
- GDPR compliance for EU users
- HIPAA-ready encryption protocols
