This document outlines the security measures, best practices, and policies implemented in the Cyber Training Platform.

• Token-based authentication using JWT
• Short-lived access tokens (15 minutes)
• Refresh tokens with secure rotation
• Token blacklisting for revocation

• Dedicated VLAN per lab environment
• Network segmentation
• Traffic filtering
• Rate limiting
• DDoS protection

1. Critical
   • Authentication credentials
   • Encryption keys
   • Personal information
2. Sensitive
   • Lab configurations
   • User progress
   • Assessment data
3. Public
   • Course catalogs
   • Public documentation

• Encryption at rest (AES-256)
• TLS 1.3 for data in transit
• Regular backup encryption
• Secure key management

• Strict type checking
• Input sanitization
• Parameter validation
• File upload restrictions

Example:

def validate_lab_name(name: str) -> bool:
    """
    Validate lab name against security rules.
    - Alphanumeric characters only
    - Length between 3-50 characters
    - No special characters except hyphen and underscore
    """
    pattern = r'^[a-zA-Z0-9-_]{3,50}$'
    return bool(re.match(pattern, name))

• HTML encoding
• JSON encoding
• URL encoding
• SQL parameter binding

1. OS Hardening

   • Minimal package installation
   • Regular security updates
   • Disabled unnecessary services
   • SELinux/AppArmor configuration

2. Service Hardening

   • Secure configurations
   • Version control
   • Regular updates
   • Security scanning

• Minimal base images
• No root containers
• Image scanning
• Resource limitations

Example log format:

{
  "timestamp": "2023-12-01T10:00:00Z",
  "level": "WARNING",
  "user_id": "user123",
  "action": "lab_access",

  "details": {
    "lab_id": "lab456",
    "status": "unauthorized_attempt"
  }
}

1. Input Validation

   # Good
   def process_input(data: str) -> bool:
       if not validate_input(data):
           raise ValidationError("Invalid input")
       return process_validated_data(data)
   
   # Bad
   def process_input(data: str) -> bool:
       return process_data(data)  # No validation

2. Authentication

   # Good
   def authenticate(user: User) -> bool:
       return verify_password_hash(user.password_hash)
   
   # Bad
   def authenticate(user: User) -> bool:
       return user.password == stored_password  # Plain text comparison
