DoD/MilSpec Compliance Quick Start

This guide provides a quick overview of the DoD/MilSpec compliance features implemented in Sankofa Phoenix.

What's Been Implemented

Critical Security (Phase 1)

  • Secret Management: Fail-fast validation, no default secrets in production
  • Credential Protection: Pre-commit hooks, rotation scripts, enhanced .gitignore
  • Security Headers: Comprehensive DoD-compliant headers

Access Control (Phase 2)

  • MFA: TOTP support with backup codes, enforcement for privileged operations
  • RBAC: Enhanced role-based access with ABAC support
  • Sessions: Classification-based timeouts, concurrent session limits

Audit Logging (Phase 3)

  • Comprehensive Logging: All security events logged with cryptographic signatures
  • Tamper-Proof: HMAC signatures on all audit logs
  • 7+ Year Retention: Database schema supports long-term retention

Encryption (Phase 4)

  • FIPS 140-2 Crypto: Wrapper for FIPS-approved algorithms
  • Data at Rest: Field-level encryption service
  • Key Management: Framework for Vault integration

Quick Setup

1. Environment Variables

# Required in production
JWT_SECRET=<64+ character secret>
DB_PASSWORD=<32+ character password>
ENCRYPTION_KEY=<64 hex characters for AES-256>

# Optional
ENABLE_FIPS=true
AUDIT_LOG_SECRET=<secret for audit log signatures>

2. Run Migrations

cd api
npm run db:migrate

This will create:

  • MFA tables
  • RBAC tables
  • Session tables
  • Audit log tables

3. Enable Pre-commit Hooks

# Install git hooks
git config core.hooksPath .githooks

4. Validate Secrets

The application will automatically validate all secrets on startup in production mode.

Key Features

Secret Validation

  • Secrets must be 32+ characters (64+ in production)
  • Must include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters
  • Fails fast if insecure defaults are detected

MFA Enforcement

  • Required for all privileged operations
  • TOTP support with QR code generation
  • Backup codes for recovery

Audit Logging

  • All security events automatically logged
  • Cryptographic signatures prevent tampering
  • Queryable audit trail

Encryption

  • AES-256-GCM for data encryption
  • FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms
  • Field-level encryption for sensitive data

Compliance Standards

  • NIST SP 800-53: ~40% implemented
  • NIST SP 800-171: ~35% implemented
  • DISA STIGs: Application Security partially implemented
  • FIPS 140-2: Crypto wrapper complete

Next Steps
