## 🎯 Automated Security Workflows

### GitHub Actions Workflows

AVX-HTTP has **3 automated security workflows** configured:

#### 1. **CI Pipeline** (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
Runs on: Every push and pull request
- ✅ Security audit (cargo-audit)
- ✅ Clippy linting
- ✅ Code formatting
- ✅ Test suite (all platforms)
- ✅ Documentation build
- ✅ License compliance
- ✅ Code coverage

**Email Notifications**: Sent to `nicolas@avila.inc`, `dev@avila.inc`, `security@avila.inc`

#### 2. **Security Scan** (`.github/workflows/security.yml`)
Runs on: Daily at 02:00 UTC + manual trigger
- 🔐 Full security audit
- 🛡️ OWASP dependency check
- 📈 Code quality analysis
- 🔍 Unsafe code detection
- 📊 Outdated dependencies

**Email Notifications**: Comprehensive HTML reports to security team

#### 3. **Release Pipeline** (`.github/workflows/release.yml`)
Runs on: Version tags (v*.*.*)
- 🔍 Pre-release validation
- 📦 Publish to crates.io
- 📝 Create GitHub release
- 📣 Community announcement templates

**Email Notifications**: Success/failure alerts + announcement templates

## 🔍 Security Checks Explained

### 1. Dependency Audit (cargo-audit)

**What it checks:**
- Known security vulnerabilities in dependencies
- CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) database
- RustSec Advisory Database

**How to fix:**
```powershell
# Update dependencies
cargo update

# Update specific package
cargo update -p package-name

# Check again
cargo audit
```

### 2. License Compliance (cargo-deny)

**What it checks:**
- License compatibility (MIT/Apache-2.0)
- GPL/LGPL conflicts
- Unknown licenses

**Configuration:** `deny.toml` in root

**How to fix:**
```powershell
# Check licenses
cargo deny check licenses

# Review and whitelist if needed
# Edit deny.toml to allow specific licenses
```

### 3. Unsafe Code Detection (cargo-geiger)

**What it checks:**
- Usage of `unsafe` blocks
- Proportion of unsafe code
- Dependencies with unsafe code

**Goal:** Minimize unsafe code usage

**How to fix:**
```powershell
# Generate report
cargo geiger

# Review each unsafe block
# Refactor to safe alternatives when possible
```

### 4. Outdated Dependencies (cargo-outdated)

**What it checks:**
- Dependencies with newer versions
- Security patches available
- Breaking changes in updates

**How to update:**
```powershell
# Check outdated
cargo outdated

# Update all
cargo update

# Update and break SemVer (careful!)
cargo update --aggressive
```

### 5. Code Coverage (cargo-tarpaulin)

**What it checks:**
- Test coverage percentage
- Uncovered lines
- Branch coverage

**Goal:** >80% coverage

**How to improve:**
```powershell
# Generate coverage report
cargo tarpaulin --out Html

# Open coverage/index.html
# Add tests for uncovered lines
```

2. **Fix Timeline:**
   - Critical: 24 hours
   - High: 48 hours
   - Medium: 7 days
   - Low: 30 days
3. **Update Dependencies**
4. **Test Thoroughly**
5. **Release Patch Version**
6. **Notify Users** (if critical)
