# Security Design
## Transport Security
TLS is used to establish encrypted communication channels between clients and the server.
The framework supports:
- encrypted transport
- authenticated sessions
- secure handshake procedures
---
## Replay Protection
Replay mitigation is implemented using:
- timestamp validation
- nonce tracking
- packet sequencing
---
## Session Integrity
Session management includes:
- heartbeat monitoring
- timeout detection
- sequence synchronization
- reconnect validation
---
## Rate Limiting
Rate limiting mechanisms are used to reduce abuse and excessive packet flooding.
---
## Persistence Security
Sensitive runtime artifacts such as certificates and local databases are excluded through repository ignore rules.
