4. Security, Access Control, and Privacy
Securing data in a peer-to-peer environment requires careful consideration of how information is accessed, shared, and protected. This section addresses best practices for implementing role-based access control, ensuring secure peer-to-peer communication, and maintaining privacy when handling sensitive data.
This article highlights key privacy practices in peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, including end-to-end encryption, anonymized peer discovery, data minimization, and user control over data sharing.
Best practices for securing peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, focusing on using end-to-end encryption, mutual authentication (via OAuth or JWT), secure transport protocols like WebSockets, and regular key rotation to safeguard data from interception or unauthorized access.
Article outlining best practices for implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in peer-to-peer communication systems, focusing on the least-privilege principle, hierarchical role management, secure token-based authentication (e.g., JWT, OAuth), dynamic role updates, and regular auditing and logging to maintain security and prevent stale permissions.
