Summary

Resolves #142 by implementing comprehensive log data encryption and sensitive data protection, ensuring compliance with security standards and protecting against data breaches.

Problem Addressed

  • Log data not encrypted
  • Sensitive information exposed
  • Passwords in log files
  • API keys visible
  • User data unprotected
  • No access controls
  • Compliance violations

Solution Implemented

1. End-to-End Encryption

AES-256 Fernet symmetric encryption:

  • Encrypt all log data at rest
  • Decrypt only on authorized access
  • PBKDF2 key derivation
  • Configurable iteration count (100k)
  • Secure key storage (mode 600)

2. Sensitive Data Redaction

Pattern-based automatic redaction:

  • Passwords and credentials
  • API keys and tokens
  • Secrets
  • Personally identifiable information (PII)
  • Credit cards (PAN)
  • Social Security numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Private keys

3. Key Management

Comprehensive key management:

  • Key generation and storage
  • PBKDF2 derivation from password
  • Key file encryption (mode 600)
  • Automatic key rotation
  • Master key support
  • Secure initialization

4. Access Control

Role-based access control (RBAC):

  • User-resource-action model
  • Permission grants
  • Permission revocation
  • Fine-grained access control
  • Deny-by-default approach

5. Audit Logging

Comprehensive audit trail:

  • Track all access attempts
  • Log denied accesses
  • User-specific logs
  • Timestamps on all events
  • Audit log rotation
  • Compliance reporting

6. Compliance Support

Security compliance features:

  • Encryption status monitoring
  • Compliance reports
  • Audit log exports
  • Access denial tracking
  • Key rotation tracking

Sensitive Data Detection

Pattern matching for:

  • SQL credentials
  • API credentials
  • OAuth tokens
  • AWS keys
  • PII data
  • Financial information
  • Custom patterns

Key Derivation

PBKDF2 parameters:

  • Algorithm: SHA256
  • Iterations: 100,000
  • Salt: Fixed (can be randomized)
  • Output: 256-bit key

Features

  • Transparent encryption/decryption
  • Automatic sensitive data masking
  • Per-service access control
  • Comprehensive audit trail
  • Key rotation support
  • Compliance reporting
  • Zero-trust approach

Integration

  • Works with existing log pipeline
  • Non-breaking changes
  • Optional per-log basis
  • Transparent to applications
  • Compatible with storage backends

Testing

  • Encryption/decryption correctness
  • Sensitive data detection
  • Access control enforcement
  • Audit logging accuracy
  • Key rotation process
  • Compliance reporting

Compliance

  • GDPR data protection
  • HIPAA encryption requirements
  • PCI-DSS sensitive data protection
  • SOC 2 audit trails
  • Custom compliance policies

Closes #142
