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 API with the AES-GCM algorithm, an advanced encryption standard.
  • Secure Key Derivation: The password undergoes 250,000 rounds of PBKDF2 to 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.
