Security Policy
Effective Date: September 5, 2025
Introduction
At elio Web3, security is our top priority. We implement industry-leading practices to protect user data, smart contracts, and infrastructure. This document outlines our commitment to security, encryption standards, and measures to prevent unauthorized access.
Security Measures
Our security framework includes:
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): All user accounts require MFA for login and critical actions.
- Zero-Trust Architecture: Continuous verification of user identity and device integrity.
- Penetration Testing: Regular audits by third-party security firms to identify vulnerabilities.
- Rate Limiting: API access is protected against brute-force attacks and DDoS.
Data Encryption
We use advanced encryption protocols to secure data both in transit and at rest:
-
TLS 1.3+
End-to-end encryption for all communication between users and servers.
-
AES-256
Encryption for stored data, including blockchain transaction metadata.
-
Quantum-Resistant Algorithms
Research-driven preparation for post-quantum cryptographic threats.
Smart Contract Security
Our blockchain platform uses the following measures to secure smart contracts:
-
Formal Verification
Mathematical proofs to validate contract logic and prevent vulnerabilities.
-
Code Audits
Third-party audits by blockchain security experts like CertiK and OpenZeppelin.
-
Bug Bounty Program
Incentivize ethical hackers to find and report vulnerabilities through our public program.
Security Incident Response
In the event of a security breach affecting users, we will:
- Contain threats immediately with automated incident response systems
- Notify affected users within 72 hours via secured channels
- Provide free credit monitoring or identity protection for impacted accounts
- Compensate losses following a community vote via DAO governance
Your Responsibilities
To maintain a secure environment, users must:
- Protect private keys and seed phrases
- Use hardware wallets for long-term value storage
- Verify contract addresses before transactions
- Enable account activity alerts through dashboard settings
