Security
Integration controls
HTTPS and TLS
Use HTTPS for every API call and reject insecure transport in production environments.
Input validation
Validate URLs, QR payloads, and payment strings before sending them to the backend.
Rate limiting
Respect 429 responses and build retries that protect service availability.
API authentication
Use bearer credentials from trusted server-side environments only.
OWASP practices
Treat TrustShield as part of a broader secure engineering program.
Secure defaults
Fail closed for high-risk trust decisions when product safety requires it.
Audit logging
Log status, module, verdict, and correlation ID without storing secrets.
Privacy
Minimize payloads and avoid retaining personal information unnecessarily.
Privacy-conscious integration
Send the minimum signal required for analysis. Avoid logging raw user-submitted URLs, messages, payment identifiers, or credentials in application logs.
