• All user data is encrypted in transit and at rest
• Firebase security rules are implemented to protect user data
• API endpoints require proper authentication
• Sensitive configuration is never committed to version control

• Firebase Authentication for user management
• Role-based access control for project permissions
• Secure token handling with automatic expiration
• Multi-factor authentication support

• Regular dependency updates and security audits
• Code review requirements for all changes
• Automated security scanning in CI/CD pipeline
• TypeScript for type safety and reduced runtime errors

1. Never commit sensitive data:

   • API keys, passwords, or tokens
   • Firebase configuration with real credentials
   • Personal information or user data

2. Use secure coding practices:

   • Validate all user inputs
   • Implement proper error handling
   • Use parameterized queries for database operations
   • Avoid hardcoded secrets

3. Follow the principle of least privilege:

   • Request only necessary permissions
   • Use read-only access when possible
   • Regularly review and revoke unused permissions

1. Use the provided example configuration:

   cp src/config/firebaseConfig.example.ts src/config/firebaseConfig.ts

2. Never use production credentials in development

3. Use environment variables for sensitive data:

   // Good
   const apiKey = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_API_KEY;
   
   // Bad
   const apiKey = "your-actual-api-key";

We conduct regular security audits and welcome third-party security researchers to help improve our security posture.

• Regular dependency updates
• Firebase security rules implementation
• Input validation improvements
• Authentication flow enhancements
