TrustShield

Developer documentation

Security Controls

Guidance for secure TrustShield integrations across enterprise and consumer product surfaces.

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.
