# Security Model and Best Practices
# Security Model, Privilege Architecture & Best Practices
`nx9-wg` implements a strict, self-hosted, fail-closed security architecture.
`nx9-wg` is designed with a strict, defense-in-depth, fail-closed security architecture tailored for self-hosted sovereign network infrastructure.
---
## 1. Single Administrator Identity
## 1. Single Administrator Identity Model
- **Fixed Database Identity**: The administrative record in SQLite is locked with `CHECK (id = 1)`.
- **No RBAC or Multi-Tenancy**: Eliminates attack surface from privilege escalation, permission bypasses, or broken object-level authorization.
- **Argon2id Password Hashing**: State-of-the-art memory-hard password derivation (`argon2id`). Plaintext passwords are never stored in memory longer than verification duration and never written to disk or logs.
- **Database-Level Constraint**: The administrative record in SQLite is locked with `CHECK (id = 1)`.
- **Zero Multi-Tenancy / RBAC Attack Surface**: Eliminates privilege escalation, role confusion, and broken object-level authorization vulnerabilities.
- **Argon2id Password Hashing**: State-of-the-art memory-hard password derivation (`argon2id`). Passwords are never stored in plaintext, never logged, and never included in error responses.
- **One-Time Credential Delivery**: Generated passwords and raw API tokens are displayed exactly once upon creation (or written to explicit 0600-permission files) and cannot be recovered from the database.
---
## 2. Token and Session Security
## 2. API Token and Session Architecture
- **Hashed API Tokens**: API tokens use the `nx9_<base64>` format. Only the SHA-256 cryptographic digest of the token is persisted in SQLite. Compromise of the database does not reveal plaintext API tokens.
- **Global Session Invalidation**: When the administrator changes their password, all active sessions across all devices are immediately invalidated in SQLite.
- **HttpOnly Cookies**: Session tokens sent to browsers use `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict`, and `Secure` (when TLS is active).
- **Cryptographically Hashed Tokens**: API tokens follow the format `nx9_<uuid>_<random>`. Only the SHA-256 digest of the token (`token_hash`) is stored in SQLite. Database exfiltration will not compromise raw API tokens.
- **Global Session Invalidation**: Changing the administrator password automatically invalidates all active browser sessions across all devices.
- **Secure Cookie Flags**: Session cookies use `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict`, and `Path=/`.
- **Brute-Force Rate Limiting**: Exponential backoff and IP-based rate limiting (5 failed attempts per 15-minute sliding window triggers `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests`).
---
## 3. Brute-Force Rate Limiting
## 3. Filesystem Permissions Matrix
- `nx9-wg` maintains an append-only tracking log of login attempts in SQLite.
- If more than 5 failed authentication attempts originate from the same IP address within a 15-minute sliding window, subsequent login requests are rejected with `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests`.

## 4. Secret Handling and Memory Safety
## 4. Zero Subprocess Execution Guarantee
- **Redacted Debug Outputs**: Types holding sensitive material (`WireGuardPrivateKey`, `WireGuardPresharedKey`, `Admin`, `ApiToken`) implement custom `std::fmt::Debug` formatters outputting `[REDACTED]`.
- **No Plaintext Logging**: Secrets are strictly excluded from structured `tracing` event spans.
`nx9-wg` strictly forbids external subprocess execution in production:
- **No `std::process::Command` / `tokio::process`**: Eliminates command injection, shell escaping vulnerabilities, and PATH hijack risks.
- **No External CLI Dependencies**: Does not shell out to `wg`, `ip`, `nft`, `iptables`, `sysctl`, or `bash`.
- **Direct Kernel Communication**: Communicates via native Linux Netlink sockets (RTNETLINK and WireGuard Generic Netlink) and direct in-process `libnftables` Netfilter bindings.
---
## 5. Audit Logging
## 5. nftables Scoping & Firewall Isolation
Every state-changing operation records an append-only audit event:
- Authentication (`Login`, `Logout`, `LoginFailed`)
- Credential Lifecycle (`PasswordChange`, `TotpChange`, `ApiTokenCreate`, `ApiTokenRevoke`)
- Network & WireGuard (`InterfaceCreate`, `PeerCreate`, `PeerRotateKeys`, `RouteCreate`, `FirewallCreate`)
- System Operations (`BackupCreate`, `BackupRestore`, `ReconciliationRun`)
- **Table Isolation**: All rules and chains are strictly confined to `table inet nx9_wg`.
- **Zero Interference**: `nx9-wg` never flushes or modifies external tables created by Docker, Kubernetes, systemd-networkd, or host firewalls.
- **Deterministic Priority Rules**: Chains and rules are ordered deterministically by priority index to prevent rule shadowing or accidental packet leaks.
---
## 6. Secret Redaction & Memory Safety
- Custom `std::fmt::Debug` implementations enforce `[REDACTED]` for `WireGuardPrivateKey`, `WireGuardPresharedKey`, `Admin`, and `ApiToken`.
- Web UI and REST API responses redact private keys and token hashes.
- CLI status output strictly redacts sensitive hashes.
---
## 7. Append-Only Security Audit Logging
Every state mutation records an append-only audit event with timestamp, actor, IP address, event type, and context metadata:
- Authentication events (`Login`, `Logout`, `LoginFailed`)
- Credential modifications (`PasswordChange`, `ApiTokenCreate`, `ApiTokenRevoke`)
- WireGuard & Network configurations (`InterfaceCreate`, `PeerCreate`, `RouteCreate`, `FirewallCreate`)
- System operations (`BackupCreate`, `BackupRestore`, `ReconciliationRun`)
