Security
Frontdown is built from the ground up with security as a top priority. This document explains how its secure-by-design architecture protects sensitive data while enabling seamless backup and restore functionality.
Core Security Principles
Frontdown’s security model is based on the following principles:
- User-Centric Security: All critical actions are tied to the user being logged in, ensuring no unauthorized access.
- Decentralized Sensitive Data: Sensitive data like credentials and keys are never stored in the central database.
- Keepass Integration: A Keepass database acts as the single source of truth for sensitive information, ensuring it remains encrypted and secure.
- Dynamic Credential Generation: Repository credentials are dynamically generated and stored securely.
