AIM Platform Security Assessment Report
Comprehensive Security Analysis and Verification
Executive Summary
This report presents the findings of a comprehensive security assessment conducted on the AIM (Agent Identity Management) platform. The assessment evaluated authentication mechanisms, authorization controls, cryptographic implementations, data protection measures, and operational security controls against industry best practices and enterprise security standards.
Assessment Scope
The security assessment encompassed the following components and areas:
Backend Services (Go/Fiber)
- • Authentication and authorization mechanisms
- • JWT token lifecycle management
- • Ed25519 cryptographic signature verification
- • API key management and storage
- • SQL injection prevention
- • Input validation and sanitization
Infrastructure Security
- • CORS configuration hardening
- • Rate limiting implementation
- • HTTP security headers
- • Key storage encryption
- • Logging and audit trail security
- • Token revocation mechanisms
Python SDK Security
- • OAuth token flow and rotation
- • Secure credential storage
- • Ed25519 key generation and signing
- • Request signature implementation
- • Error handling (no sensitive data exposure)
- • Secure defaults configuration
Security Controls Verified
1. JWT Token Security
Access tokens configured with 15-minute expiration (industry standard). Minimum 256-bit JWT secret length enforced. Token rotation implemented for refresh tokens with automatic revocation tracking.
2. Cryptographic Key Protection
Ed25519 private keys encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Production environments require KEYVAULT_MASTER_KEY environment variable. Ephemeral key generation disabled in production mode.
3. Replay Attack Prevention
Signature timestamp validation window reduced to 30 seconds (from 5 minutes). Prevents replay attacks while allowing for reasonable network latency. Nonce tracking for critical operations.
4. CORS Configuration Hardening
Wildcard origins (*) rejected by validation middleware. Only explicitly configured origins allowed. Invalid format origins and wildcard subdomains blocked. Security warnings logged for misconfiguration attempts.
5. Rate Limiting & IP Spoofing Protection
Trusted proxy configuration prevents X-Forwarded-For header spoofing. Rate limiting applied per real client IP. Configurable burst and sustained rate limits per endpoint category.
6. HTTP Security Headers
Comprehensive security headers implemented: X-Content-Type-Options (nosniff), X-Frame-Options (DENY), X-XSS-Protection, Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and HSTS in production environments.
7. SQL Injection Prevention
All database queries use parameterized statements with PostgreSQL $1, $2 placeholder syntax. No string concatenation in SQL queries. Input validation applied before database operations.
8. API Key Security
API keys stored as SHA-256 hashes only (original keys never persisted). Expiration dates enforced. Usage tracking with IP logging. Revocation mechanism with immediate effect.
9. Token Revocation Support
SDK tokens tracked in database with revocation status. Token validation checks revocation before acceptance. Logout endpoints properly invalidate sessions. Token lineage tracking for rotation audit.
10. Input Validation
Enterprise-grade password policy: minimum 8 characters, uppercase, lowercase, digit, special character required. Common weak password detection. Email format validation. UUID format validation. Input sanitization for XSS prevention.
11. Secure Logging Practices
No sensitive data logged to console or files. Debug logging disabled in production handlers. API keys, passwords, tokens, and email addresses excluded from logs. Error messages sanitized before user display.
12. Multi-Factor Authentication Support
Multiple authentication methods supported: JWT, Ed25519 signatures, API keys. OAuth integration available. SDK token authentication with rotation. Defense-in-depth authentication layers.

Assessment Methodology
This security assessment was conducted following industry-standard methodologies:
- • Static Code Analysis: Manual review of authentication, authorization, and cryptographic implementations
- • Architecture Review: Evaluation of security design patterns and defense-in-depth measures
- • Configuration Analysis: Review of security-relevant configurations and hardening measures
- • Compliance Mapping: Alignment with SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR control frameworks
- • OWASP Top 10: Verification against common web application vulnerabilities
- • OWASP API Security Top 10: Verification against common API security issues
