Security Practices

Python Guidelines

# Secure XRPL Secret Handling
from cryptography.ferret import Fernet

def encrypt_secret(secret: str) -> bytes:
    key = Fernet.generate_key()
    return Fernet(key).encrypt(secret.encode())

Swift Standards

// Secure Enclave Key Management
let accessControl = SecAccessControlCreateWithFlags(
    nil,
    kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly,
    .privateKeyUsage,
    nil
)!

Infrastructure

• Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for signing keys
• Automated dependency scanning (Dependabot/Snyk)
• Quarterly third-party audits
