# Security Guide
This document outlines security best practices and configurations for the Home Assistant MCP Server.
## Authentication
### JWT Authentication
The server uses JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for API authentication:
```http
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN
```
### Token Configuration
```yaml
security:
jwt_secret: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
token_expiry: 24h
refresh_token_expiry: 7d
```
## Access Control
### CORS Configuration
Configure allowed origins to prevent unauthorized access:
```yaml
security:
allowed_origins:
- http://localhost:3000
- https://your-domain.com
```
### IP Filtering
Restrict access by IP address:
```yaml
security:
allowed_ips:
- 192.168.1.0/24
- 10.0.0.0/8
```
## SSL/TLS Configuration
### Enable HTTPS
```yaml
ssl:
enabled: true
cert_file: /path/to/cert.pem
key_file: /path/to/key.pem
```
### Certificate Management
1. Use Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates
2. Regularly renew certificates
3. Monitor certificate expiration
## Rate Limiting
### Basic Rate Limiting
```yaml
rate_limit:
enabled: true
requests_per_minute: 100
burst: 20
```
### Advanced Rate Limiting
```yaml
rate_limit:
rules:
- endpoint: /api/control
requests_per_minute: 50
- endpoint: /api/state
requests_per_minute: 200
```
## Data Protection
### Sensitive Data
- Use environment variables for secrets
- Encrypt sensitive data at rest
- Implement secure backup procedures
### Logging Security
- Avoid logging sensitive information
- Rotate logs regularly
- Protect log file access
## Best Practices
1. Regular Security Updates
- Keep dependencies updated
- Monitor security advisories
- Apply patches promptly
2. Password Policies
- Enforce strong passwords
- Implement password expiration
- Use secure password storage
3. Monitoring
- Log security events
- Monitor access patterns
- Set up alerts for suspicious activity
4. Network Security
- Use VPN for remote access
- Implement network segmentation
- Configure firewalls properly
## Security Checklist
- [ ] Configure SSL/TLS
- [ ] Set up JWT authentication
- [ ] Configure CORS properly
- [ ] Enable rate limiting
- [ ] Implement IP filtering
- [ ] Secure sensitive data
- [ ] Set up monitoring

## Incident Response
1. Detection
- Monitor security logs
- Set up intrusion detection
- Configure alerts
2. Response
- Document incident details
- Isolate affected systems
- Investigate root cause
3. Recovery
- Apply security fixes
