Security Best Practices

When using this package in production:

1. Model Security

  • Store trained models in secure locations
  • Use access controls for model files
  • Validate model integrity before loading

2. Input Validation

  • Always validate user input before processing
  • Set appropriate text length limits
  • Sanitize inputs to prevent injection attacks

3. API Security

  • Use HTTPS in production
  • Implement rate limiting
  • Add authentication and authorization
  • Configure CORS appropriately
  • Use environment variables for sensitive configuration

4. Dependency Security

  • Regularly update dependencies
  • Use safety to check for known vulnerabilities
  • Pin dependency versions in production

5. Data Privacy

  • Don't log sensitive user data
  • Implement proper data retention policies
  • Comply with GDPR/CCPA if applicable

6. Docker Security

  • Don't run containers as root
  • Use minimal base images
  • Scan images for vulnerabilities
  • Keep base images updated

Security Checklist for Production

  • HTTPS enabled
  • Authentication implemented
  • Rate limiting configured
  • Input validation in place
  • Dependencies updated
  • Security headers configured
  • Logging and monitoring enabled
  • Secrets stored securely (not in code)
  • Regular security audits scheduled
  • Incident response plan in place

Known Security Considerations

TensorFlow Security

  • Keep TensorFlow updated to latest stable version
  • Be aware of potential model poisoning attacks
  • Validate model files from untrusted sources

FastAPI Security

  • Configure CORS appropriately for your use case
  • Implement proper authentication
  • Use HTTPS in production
  • Enable rate limiting

Security Tools

We use the following tools to maintain security:

  • Bandit: Python security linter
  • Safety: Dependency vulnerability checker
  • Pre-commit hooks: Automated security checks
  • GitHub Security Alerts: Dependency vulnerability notifications
  • CodeQL: Code security analysis (via GitHub Actions)

Disclosure Policy

When we receive a security report, we will:

  1. Confirm the problem and determine affected versions
  2. Audit code to find similar problems
  3. Prepare fixes for all supported versions
  4. Release new versions as soon as possible
