Security is paramount when managing software licenses. Follow these best practices.
## API Key Security
• Never expose API keys in client-side code
• Store keys in environment variables
• Use different keys for development and production
• Rotate keys regularly (every 90 days)
• Revoke compromised keys immediately
## License Key Security
• Generate strong, unique license keys
• Use cryptographically secure random generators
• Never hardcode license keys in your application
• Encrypt license keys in transit (HTTPS)
• Consider encrypting keys at rest
## Data Protection
• Encrypt sensitive license data
• Use secure communication (TLS 1.2+)
• Implement proper access controls
• Log security events
• Regular security audits
## Compliance
LicenseChain is:
- GDPR Compliant: Protects EU user data
- SOC 2 Certified: Enterprise security standards
- ISO 27001: Information security management
## User Privacy
• Only collect necessary user data
• Obtain consent for data collection
• Allow users to delete their data
• Provide privacy policy
• Implement data retention policies
## Secure Integration
Always perform license validation server-side. Never expose API keys in browser code.
## Incident Response
If you suspect a security breach:
1. Revoke affected API keys immediately
2. Review access logs
3. Notify affected users
4. Rotate all credentials
5. Contact LicenseChain support
