# Security Enforcement System

A comprehensive security framework for agent truth verification with enterprise-grade protection against Byzantine attacks, fraud, and unauthorized access.

## 🔒 Core Security Features

### 1. Agent Authentication
- **Multi-factor Authentication**: Challenge-response with cryptographic signatures
- **Digital Certificates**: X.509-style certificate chains for agent identity
- **Reputation System**: Dynamic scoring based on behavior and verification history
- **Capability-based Access**: Granular permissions for different verification types

### 2. Cryptographic Protection
- **Threshold Signatures**: Distributed signing requiring multiple parties
- **Zero-Knowledge Proofs**: Prove knowledge without revealing secrets
- **End-to-End Encryption**: AES-256-GCM with RSA-4096 key exchange
- **Secure Hashing**: SHA-256 for integrity verification

### 3. Byzantine Fault Tolerance
- **Attack Detection**: Real-time identification of malicious behavior
- **Consensus Mechanisms**: 2/3+ majority required for decisions
- **Collusion Prevention**: Pattern analysis to detect coordinated attacks
- **Automatic Quarantine**: Isolate suspicious agents immediately

### 4. Rate Limiting & DDoS Protection
- **Multi-level Limits**: Per-second, minute, hour, and day quotas
- **Adaptive Throttling**: Dynamic adjustment based on system load
- **Agent-specific Limits**: Custom quotas based on reputation and role
- **Burst Protection**: Prevent sudden spikes in malicious requests

### 5. Comprehensive Audit Trail
- **Immutable Logging**: Cryptographically signed audit entries
- **Witness Signatures**: Multiple validators for critical events
- **Forensic Analysis**: Detailed investigation capabilities
- **Compliance Reporting**: Automated generation of security reports

## 🚀 Quick Start

```typescript
import { SecurityEnforcementSystem, createProductionSecuritySystem } from './verification';

// Create a production-ready security system
const security = createProductionSecuritySystem();

// Initialize with trusted participants
await security.initialize(['agent1', 'agent2', 'agent3', 'agent4', 'agent5']);

// Register a new agent
const agentIdentity = await security.registerAgent(
  'verification-agent-1',
  ['verify', 'sign', 'audit'],
  'HIGH'
);

// Process a verification request
const request = {
  requestId: 'req-123',
  agentId: 'verification-agent-1',
  truthClaim: { statement: 'The sky is blue', confidence: 0.95 },
  timestamp: new Date(),
  nonce: 'random-nonce-123',
  signature: 'agent-signature-here'
};

const result = await security.processVerificationRequest(request);
console.log('Verification result:', result);
```

## 🛡️ Security Architecture

### Authentication Flow
```
1. Agent Registration → Digital Certificate Generation
2. Capability Assignment → Permission Matrix Setup
3. Reputation Initialization → Baseline Trust Score
4. Byzantine Network Registration → Consensus Participation
```

### Verification Flow
```
1. Request Received → Rate Limit Check
2. Agent Authentication → Signature Verification
3. Byzantine Detection → Behavior Analysis
4. Truth Verification → Evidence Collection
5. Threshold Signing → Distributed Signature
6. Audit Trail → Immutable Logging
```

### Threat Detection
```
1. Pattern Analysis → Behavioral Anomalies
2. Timing Analysis → Attack Vector Detection
3. Collusion Detection → Coordinated Behavior
4. Reputation Scoring → Trust Assessment
```

## 📊 Security Monitoring

### Real-time Metrics
- **Request Throughput**: Requests per second/minute/hour
- **Rejection Rate**: Percentage of blocked requests
- **Byzantine Attacks**: Detected malicious behavior
- **System Health**: Consensus capability and node status

### Audit Capabilities
- **Event Tracking**: All security events with timestamps
- **Forensic Analysis**: Detailed investigation of incidents
- **Compliance Reports**: Automated security compliance documentation
- **Trend Analysis**: Long-term security pattern identification

## 🔧 Configuration

### Development Environment
```typescript
const devSecurity = createDevelopmentSecuritySystem();
// Relaxed limits for testing: 100 req/sec, 3 nodes, 2 threshold
```

### Production Environment
```typescript
const prodSecurity = createProductionSecuritySystem();
// Strict limits: 10 req/sec, 7 nodes, 5 threshold
```

### High-Security Environment
```typescript
const highSecurity = createHighSecuritySystem();
// Maximum security: 5 req/sec, 9 nodes, 7 threshold
```

### Custom Configuration
```typescript
const customSecurity = createSecuritySystem({
  totalNodes: 5,
  threshold: 3,
  rateLimits: {
    perSecond: 25,
    perMinute: 500,
    perHour: 5000,
    perDay: 50000
  }
});
```

## 🚨 Threat Protection

### Byzantine Attack Prevention
- **Contradictory Message Detection**: Identify agents sending conflicting information
- **Timing Attack Detection**: Detect suspiciously regular or coordinated timing
- **Collusion Pattern Analysis**: Identify groups of agents working together maliciously
- **Reputation-based Filtering**: Automatically quarantine low-reputation agents

### Cryptographic Security
- **Signature Verification**: All requests must be cryptographically signed
- **Threshold Signatures**: Critical operations require multiple signers
- **Zero-Knowledge Proofs**: Verify claims without revealing sensitive data
- **Forward Secrecy**: Keys are rotated regularly to prevent compromise

### Access Control
- **Multi-level Authentication**: Multiple factors required for sensitive operations
- **Capability-based Security**: Agents can only perform authorized actions
- **Dynamic Permissions**: Access rights can be revoked in real-time
- **Emergency Lockdown**: Instant system-wide security lockdown capability

## 📈 Performance & Scalability

### Optimizations
- **Concurrent Processing**: Parallel verification for multiple requests
- **Efficient Cryptography**: Optimized implementations of crypto primitives
- **Intelligent Caching**: Cache frequently accessed security data
- **Load Balancing**: Distribute verification load across multiple nodes

### Scalability Features
- **Horizontal Scaling**: Add more nodes to increase capacity
- **Sharded Audit Trails**: Distribute audit data across multiple stores
- **Lazy Loading**: Load security data on-demand
- **Compression**: Compress audit trails and long-term storage

## 🔍 Debugging & Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Authentication Failures**
   ```typescript
   // Check agent registration
   const identity = security.getAgentIdentity('agent-id');
   if (!identity) {
     console.log('Agent not registered');
   }
   ```

2. **Rate Limit Exceeded**
   ```typescript
   // Check rate limit status
   const rateLimiter = new AdvancedRateLimiter();
   const stats = rateLimiter.getRateLimitStats('agent-id');
   console.log('Current usage:', stats.currentUsage);
   ```

3. **Byzantine Behavior Detected**
   ```typescript
   // Check system health
   const status = security.getSecurityStatus();
   console.log('Byzantine nodes:', status.systemHealth.byzantineNodes);
   ```

### Event Monitoring
```typescript
security.on('verificationCompleted', (result) => {
  console.log('Verification completed:', result.resultId);
});

security.on('verificationError', (error) => {
  console.error('Verification failed:', error.error);
});

security.on('emergencyShutdown', (event) => {
  console.error('EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:', event.reason);
});
```
