Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive security policy document for ShieldLend, a ZK-based private DeFi lending protocol.

Why This Matters

Given that ShieldLend handles:

  • Sensitive cryptographic operations (ZK proofs, Pedersen commitments)
  • User funds in a lending context
  • Privacy-critical functionality

Having a clear security policy is essential for:

  1. Responsible vulnerability disclosure - Giving security researchers a clear path to report issues privately
  2. User trust - Demonstrating commitment to security best practices
  3. Bug bounty preparation - Setting the foundation for a formal bug bounty program

What's Included

  • Reporting Guidelines: Clear instructions on how to report vulnerabilities privately
  • Response Timeline: Commitments for acknowledgment and resolution
  • Bug Bounty Scope: Specific areas of interest for security research
  • Safe Harbor: Protection for good-faith security researchers
  • Security Considerations: Guidance for both users and developers
  • Audit Status: Transparent disclosure of current audit status

Note: This is a documentation-only change with no code modifications.

Add security policy for ZK-based private DeFi lending protocol including:
- Vulnerability reporting guidelines
- Bug bounty scope for circuits and contracts
- Response timeline commitments
- Security considerations for users and developers
- Safe harbor provisions for researchers

This is especially important for a privacy protocol handling sensitive
cryptographic operations and user funds.
