EntropyX: IAM Advanced Compression

---

EntropyX: IAM Security 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 Compliance 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

• 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

• 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:
