SRAA Security Analysis
An in-depth overview of the application's security architecture.
Executive Summary
The MDAA application is designed to be fully client-side, which is its most significant security strength. This means that sensitive data, such as API Keys and analysis information, is never sent to or stored on the developer's servers. This architecture completely mitigates the risk of server-side attacks. The system employs modern and robust encryption techniques to protect user API Keys and has effective measures in place to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
Security Strengths
Client-Side Architecture
Users have complete control over their data. Information never leaves the user's computer, ensuring privacy and eliminating risks from a central server.
Robust API Key Protection
-
Strong Encryption: Uses the
Web Crypto APIwith theAES-GCMalgorithm, an advanced encryption standard. -
Secure Key Derivation: The password undergoes 250,000 rounds of
PBKDF2to create a strong encryption key, making brute-force attacks extremely difficult. - Secure Storage: Only the "encrypted" API Key is stored in Local Storage. The user's password is never stored anywhere.
- Session-Based Decryption: The decrypted API Key is held in temporary memory and is destroyed immediately when the tab is closed.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Prevention
All output from the AI model is sanitized using the DOMPurify library before being rendered. This effectively removes malicious code and prevents XSS attacks.
Considerations
Host Security
If the user's computer is infected with malware, it is possible that passwords or the API Key could be stolen. Users should always maintain a secure computing environment.
Password Complexity Policy
The system currently only checks for minimum password length. Enforcing a complexity policy would encourage users to create stronger, harder-to-guess passwords.
