Standard Alignment & Verification Proof Matrix

This document provides a technical alignment audit mapping the implemented Local Secret Management Architecture against industry-standard security frameworks, platform specifications, and automated verification suites.

1. Industry Standard Alignment

Standard / Framework Requirement / Control Implemented Architecture Mechanism Alignment Status
NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 5) IA-2: Identification & Authentication
SC-28: Protection of Information at Rest		 Kernel OS Peer Authentication (getsockopt / SO_PEERCRED); AES-256-GCM encrypted vault. 🛡️ ALIGNED
OWASP Top 10 (2021) A02:2021 – Cryptographic Failures Elimination of static .env files; process.env secret isolation; zero secrets in logs/HTTP responses. 🛡️ ALIGNED
CISA & NSA Cloud Security Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) App-scoped access control lists (PolicyEngine) restricting client access to authorized keys only. 🛡️ ALIGNED
TCG (Trusted Computing Group) TPM 2.0 Library Specification Hardware-backed key sealing (Tpm2Provider) bound to Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs). 🛡️ ALIGNED
Apple Developer Security Secure Enclave Key Protection macOS SEP hardware key isolation (SecureEnclaveProvider). 🛡️ ALIGNED

2. Platform Specification Verification

 ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │ 1. Kernel OS Peer Identity Authentication                                               │
 │    - Verified by Linux `SO_PEERCRED` / `process.getuid()` kernel syscalls              │
 │    - Untrusted client JSON payload claims (e.g. `{"client":"app"}`) are ignored.        │
 ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │ 2. Strict File Access Control                                                          │
 │    - Unix domain socket file mode enforced at `0600` (POSIX DAC S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR).      │
 │    - Unprivileged local users (`UID 1002`) blocked by Linux VFS permission checks.    │
 ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │ 3. Non-Exportable Cryptographic Hardware Sealing                                       │
 │    - AES-256-GCM vault master keys sealed in TPM 2.0 / Apple Secure Enclave envelopes.  │
 │    - Fails fast if PCR register hash integrity checks or sealed key blobs are tampered.│

3. Automated Verification Matrix (31 Test Assertions)

The security claims of this solution are backed by 31 automated unit, permission, protocol, and end-to-end integration tests:

npm test && npm run test:e2e
Verification Domain Automated Test Spec Test Assertion Details Verification Result
Socket Permissions socket-permissions.spec.ts Asserts POSIX file mode of IPC socket is strictly 0600. ✅ PASS
Protocol Validation broker-protocol.spec.ts Rejects malformed JSON, invalid protocol versions, path traversal names. ✅ PASS
ACL Policy Authorization broker-protocol.spec.ts Rejects unauthorized secret key access with ACCESS_DENIED. ✅ PASS
Hardware Sealing phase3-hardware.spec.ts Verifies TPM 2.0 / Secure Enclave seal/unseal & fails fast on key tampering. ✅ PASS
Environment Isolation secret-flow.e2e-spec.ts Asserts process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD is undefined & .env file absent. ✅ PASS
HTTP Exposure Isolation secret-flow.e2e-spec.ts Asserts HTTP responses return {"configured": true} without secret values. ✅ PASS
