EntropyX: IAM

EntropyX: IAM implements enterprise-grade security controls with centralized user management and comprehensive audit capabilities. The following technical features are built into the Identity and Access Management system:

Authentication & Access Control:

Strong Password Hashing: BCrypt with cost factor 14 (16,384 iterations) plus SHA-256 pre-hashing
Brute Force Protection: 5-attempt limit with 15-minute account lockout and IP tracking
Session Management: 8-hour token-based sessions with 30-minute idle timeout
Role-Based Access: ADMIN (full system access) and USER (compression only) privilege separation
Timing Attack Protection: Dummy hash operations and random delays (0-9ms) prevent analysis
Multi-Factor Ready: Architecture supports MFA integration with secure session tokens
Database Integration: Centralized SQLite authentication with parameterized queries

Database Security & Encryption:

Triple Database Encryption: licenses.db, accounts.db, and analytics.db with individual keys
Algorithm: Fernet (AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256) with metadata verification
Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations and machine-specific salts
Secure Key Management: Isolated EntropyX_Keys directory with file system protection
Connection Security: Encrypted database wrappers with automatic re-encryption
Backup Protection: Automatic encrypted backups before database operations
Schema Validation: Database integrity checks and secure connection management

Advanced Threat Protection:

SQL Injection Prevention: 15+ pattern detection with parameterized queries
Path Traversal Defense: Enhanced detection for ../, encoded variants, and UNC paths
ZIP Bomb Detection: 50:1 compression ratio limit, 512MB uncompressed size, 500 file maximum
File Validation: Magic number verification against 25+ supported file extensions
Input Sanitization: Unicode normalization, dangerous character removal, length validation
Process Isolation: Controlled external tool execution with resource limits
Memory Protection: Secure deletion of temporary files and sensitive data

Comprehensive Audit & Analytics:

Unified Logging: Single tamper-evident log with integrity hashing and session correlation
Real-Time Monitoring: Live security event detection with automated response capabilities
Compliance Scoring: 100-point scale with automated risk assessment and trend analysis
User Behavior Analytics: Failed login tracking, security violation scoring, and anomaly detection
Forensic Capabilities: Complete audit trails with timeline reconstruction and correlation analysis
ADMIN-Only Dashboard: Advanced analytics with security metrics and compliance reporting
Export Capabilities: Multi-format report generation (CSV, JSON) with audit trail preservation

Enterprise Security Architecture:

Zero Trust Model: Authentication required for all compression operations
Centralized Management: Shared database locations with user-specific isolation
Auto-Detection: Dynamic user path discovery with fallback location hierarchy
Security Validation: Six-point application integrity verification on every startup
Encryption Management: ADMIN-controlled database encryption with secure key rotation
Access Logging: Every operation logged with user attribution and timestamp verification

Please note: These technical security features provide enterprise-grade protection and compliance foundation. Full regulatory compliance may require additional organizational policies and procedures beyond the application's technical capabilities

EntropyX: IAM is engineered to align with leading industry security and privacy frameworks. The following controls are implemented to support compliance across major enterprise standards:

OWASP Top Ten:

Authentication Controls: BCrypt hashing with PBKDF2 key derivation prevents credential attacks
Session Management: Secure token-based sessions with automatic timeout and invalidation
Input Validation: SQL injection prevention with 15+ pattern detection and parameterized queries
Access Control: Role-based permissions with least privilege enforcement
Security Logging: Comprehensive audit trails with integrity protection and real-time monitoring
Cryptographic Protection: AES-128-CBC encryption for data at rest with secure key management
Error Handling: Sanitized error messages preventing information disclosure
Configuration Security: Secure defaults with validation checks and integrity verification

NIST Cybersecurity Framework:

Identify: Asset inventory through database tracking and automated risk assessment scoring
Protect: Multi-layer security with encryption, access controls, and authentication mechanisms
Detect: Real-time security monitoring with anomaly detection and threat identification
Respond: Automated incident response with user lockouts and security event correlation
Recover: Database backup procedures with secure restoration and integrity verification

ISO 27001 Controls:

A.9 Access Control: Centralized user management with role-based access and session controls
A.10 Cryptography: AES encryption implementation with secure key lifecycle management
A.12 Operations Security: Comprehensive logging, monitoring, and automated backup procedures
A.16 Incident Management: Security event detection, logging, and automated response capabilities
A.18 Compliance: Continuous compliance monitoring with automated scoring and audit trails

FISMA/FedRAMP Controls:

AC (Access Control): Account management with strong authentication and session controls
AU (Audit): Tamper-evident logging with 30-day retention and integrity verification
IA (Authentication): Multi-factor ready architecture with strong password policies
SC (System Protection): Database encryption and secure communication protocols
SI (System Integrity): Input validation, malware protection, and application integrity checks

Healthcare & Financial Compliance:

HIPAA Technical Safeguards: Access control, audit logs, integrity controls, and encryption
PCI DSS Requirements: Strong authentication, comprehensive logging, and data protection
SOX IT Controls: Detailed audit trails supporting operational transparency and internal controls
GLBA Safeguards: Customer information protection through encryption and access controls

Data Protection Regulations:

GDPR Article 32: Security of processing through encryption, access controls, and audit capabilities
CCPA Technical Safeguards: Data protection measures with comprehensive audit trails
Privacy by Design: Local processing with centralized authentication and minimal data collection
Data Minimization: Only necessary authentication data collected with automatic expiration policies

Please note: While EntropyX IAM includes foundational security and privacy features required by these frameworks, full compliance may require additional organizational, deployment, or administrative controls, such as user authentication policies, log retention procedures, and protected audit log storage.
