## Security Best Practices

### For Developers Using ArmorEditor

#### 1. Content Sanitization
```javascript
// ArmorEditor automatically sanitizes content, but validate on server-side too
const editor = new ArmorEditor({
  container: '#editor',
  // Built-in XSS protection is enabled by default
});
```

#### 2. API Key Security
```javascript
// ❌ Never expose API keys in client-side code
const editor = new ArmorEditor({
  ai: {
    apiKey: 'sk-your-secret-key' // DON'T DO THIS
  }
});

// ✅ Use environment variables and server-side proxy
const editor = new ArmorEditor({
  ai: {
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY // Server-side only
  }
});
```

#### 3. File Upload Security
```javascript
// Implement server-side validation
app.post('/upload', (req, res) => {
  // Validate file type
  // Check file size
  // Scan for malware
  // Sanitize filename
});
```

#### 4. Content Security Policy
```html
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" 
      content="default-src 'self'; 
               script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; 
               style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
               img-src 'self' data: https:;">
```

### For ArmorEditor Development

#### 1. Input Validation
- Validate all user inputs
- Sanitize HTML content
- Check file uploads
- Validate URLs and links

#### 2. Dependency Management
- Regular dependency updates
- Security audit with `npm audit`
- Use known secure packages
- Monitor for vulnerabilities

#### 3. Code Review
- Security-focused code reviews
- Static analysis tools
- Penetration testing
- Regular security assessments

## Known Security Considerations

### 1. Client-Side Limitations
- Client-side sanitization can be bypassed
- Always validate content server-side
- Don't rely solely on client-side security

### 2. AI Provider Security
- API keys must be protected
- Use server-side proxies for AI calls
- Implement rate limiting
- Monitor API usage

### 3. Collaboration Features
- Validate user permissions
- Sanitize collaborative content
- Implement access controls
- Monitor for abuse
