Security Policy

Project Maturity

latchkeyd is pre-alpha.

Until the broker implementation exists and has real tests, this repository should be treated as a public design and early implementation effort, not as a production-ready security control.

Reporting

If you find a security issue in the implementation once code lands, please report it privately before opening a public issue.

For now, the most valuable security feedback is:

  • flaws in the trust model
  • overclaims in the documentation
  • design choices that could encourage unsafe deployment assumptions

Scope

The intended security properties are documented in docs/THREAT_MODEL.md.

In particular, this project is not intended to solve:

  • same-user full compromise
  • OS isolation
  • browser session compromise
  • unrestricted endpoint policy reasoning inside the broker core

If you believe the docs imply stronger guarantees than the design actually provides, that is a security issue worth raising.

There aren’t any published security advisories
