Key Security Measures
Building upon the concepts outlined in our "Security Mesh" architecture, the following are key security measures implemented by Elysyn AI:
User Wallet Security (Non-Custodial Approach):
Elysyn AI operates on a non-custodial basis. Users retain full control over their private keys and assets within their own Ethereum wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger, etc.).
The platform interacts with user wallets via standard, secure Ethereum transaction signing protocols. Elysyn AI never has direct access to user private keys.
Infrastructure Security:
Secure Hosting Environments: Backend infrastructure is hosted in secure, reputable cloud environments with robust physical and network security controls.
Network Segmentation and Firewalls: Strict network segmentation and firewall rules are in place to isolate critical components and restrict unauthorized traffic.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): IDPS are deployed to monitor network traffic for malicious activity and potential intrusions.
DDoS Mitigation: Measures are in place to protect against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, ensuring platform availability.
Application Security:
Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Security is integrated into our development process, including code reviews, static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST), and vulnerability scanning.
Regular Security Audits: Smart contracts developed by Elysyn AI (if any for utility purposes) and critical backend components undergo regular security audits by reputable third-party security firms specializing in blockchain technology.
API Security: All APIs exposed by the platform are secured using industry-standard authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., OAuth 2.0, API keys with granular permissions).
Data Encryption: Sensitive data, both at rest and in transit, is encrypted using strong cryptographic algorithms.
Input Validation and Sanitization: Robust input validation and output encoding are implemented to prevent common web application vulnerabilities such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (though SQL injection is less relevant for typical smart contract interactions, the principle applies to all data handling).
Operational Security:
Hardware Security Module (HSM)-Backed Key Management: For any sensitive backend operational keys (not user keys), industry best practices involving HSMs are followed to ensure keys are stored in tamper-resistant hardware.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Granular RBAC is enforced for all internal systems and administrative interfaces, ensuring personnel only have access necessary for their roles.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA is mandatory for all administrative access to Elysyn AI systems.
Secure Configuration Management: All system configurations especially those involving sensitive credentials or parameters are managed securely and subject to audit.
Incident Response Plan: A comprehensive incident response plan is in place to address security breaches or vulnerabilities promptly and effectively. This includes procedures for containment, eradication, recovery and post-incident analysis.
Smart Contract Interaction Security:
Interaction with Audited Protocols: Elysyn AI prioritizes interaction with well-established and audited DeFi protocols on the Ethereum network for features like the Volume Market Booster and Volume Sniping.
Transaction Simulation and Pre-Checks: Before executing transactions on behalf of users (with their signed approval), Elysyn AI where feasible performs transaction simulations and pre-flight checks to identify potential risks such as high slippage, excessive gas fees or interaction with known malicious contracts.
Monitoring for External Protocol Risks: While Elysyn AI cannot control the security of external protocols, we endeavor to monitor the security landscape and may issue warnings or temporarily halt interactions with protocols deemed to be at high risk.
