# Security Best Practices

This guide outlines security best practices for integrating with Oak Network.

## Smart Contract Security

### Input Validation

* Always validate user inputs
* Check for integer overflow/underflow
* Validate addresses and amounts
* Implement proper access controls

### Access Control

* Use role-based access control
* Implement multi-signature requirements for critical functions
* Regular access review and rotation
* Principle of least privilege

### Error Handling

* Use custom errors for gas efficiency
* Implement proper revert messages
* Handle edge cases gracefully
* Log security-relevant events

## Integration Security

### Key Management

* Never store private keys in code
* Use hardware wallets for production
* Implement proper key rotation
* Use secure key derivation

### API Security

* Implement rate limiting
* Use HTTPS for all communications
* Validate all inputs server-side
* Implement proper authentication

### Frontend Security

* Sanitize user inputs
* Implement CSP headers
* Use secure communication channels
* Regular dependency updates

## Monitoring and Auditing

### Transaction Monitoring

* Monitor for suspicious activity
* Implement alerting systems
* Regular security audits
* Community bug bounty programs

### Code Review

* Peer review all changes
* Automated security scanning
* Regular dependency updates
* Security-focused testing
