+# Security Policy
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+We provide security updates for the following versions of NodePass:
+
+| Version | Supported          |
+| ------- | ------------------ |
+| Latest  | :white_check_mark: |
+
+## Security Features
+
+NodePass implements multiple security layers:
+
+### TLS Encryption Modes
+
+- **TLS Mode 0**: Unencrypted mode for trusted networks (highest performance)
+- **TLS Mode 1**: Self-signed certificates with TLS 1.3 (balanced security)
+- **TLS Mode 2**: Custom certificate validation for enterprise security
+
+### Network Security
+
+- Password-based tunnel authentication
+- Connection pooling with capacity limits
+- Graceful degradation under load
+- Configurable timeout and retry mechanisms
+
+## Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
+
+We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in NodePass, please report it responsibly.
+
+### Where to Report
+
+- **Email**: team@mail.nodepass.eu
+- **Subject**: [SECURITY] Brief description of the issue
+
+### What to Include
+
+Please provide the following information:
+
+1. **Description** of the vulnerability
+2. **Steps to reproduce** the issue
+3. **Potential impact** and affected versions
+4. **Your contact information** for follow-up
+5. **Any proof-of-concept code** (if applicable)
+
+### Response Process
+
+1. **Acknowledgment**: We will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
+2. **Assessment**: Initial assessment within 5 business days
+3. **Updates**: Regular updates on investigation progress
+4. **Resolution**: Security patch and public disclosure coordination
+
+### Responsible Disclosure
+
+- Please **do not** create public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities
+- Give us reasonable time to investigate and patch the issue
+- We will coordinate public disclosure timing with you
+- Security researchers will be credited in our security advisories
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### For Users
+
+- **Use TLS Mode 1 or 2** in production environments
+- **Choose strong passwords** for tunnel authentication
+- **Keep NodePass updated** to the latest version
+- **Monitor logs** for suspicious activity
+- **Limit network exposure** by binding to specific interfaces
+- **Use firewall rules** to restrict access to tunnel ports
+
+### For Developers
+
+- **Validate all inputs** including URL parameters and network data
+- **Use secure coding practices** following Go security guidelines
+- **Implement proper error handling** without leaking sensitive information
+- **Test security features** thoroughly before release
+- **Follow the principle of least privilege** in code design
+
+## Security Architecture
+
+### Network Layer
+
+- TLS 1.3 encryption for secure data transmission
+- Certificate validation and auto-reload capabilities
+- Protection against common network attacks
+
+### Application Layer
+
+- Input validation and sanitization
+- Secure memory handling for sensitive data
+- Proper resource cleanup and connection management
+
+### Operational Security
+
+- Minimal container image based on scratch
+- No unnecessary dependencies or services
+- Clear separation of concerns between components
+
+## Known Security Considerations
+
+### TLS Mode 0 Usage
+
+- Only use in completely trusted networks
+- Not recommended for internet-facing deployments
+- Provides maximum performance at the cost of encryption
+
+### Master API Security
+
+- Secure the API endpoint with proper authentication
+- Use reverse proxy for additional security layers
+- Monitor API access and implement rate limiting
+
+## Security Updates
+
+Security updates are released as:
+
+- **Patch releases** for critical vulnerabilities
+- **Minor releases** for security enhancements
+- **Documentation updates** for security best practices

+
+## Ecosystem Security
+
+### NodePassProject Libraries
+
+Our core dependencies are maintained by the NodePassProject organization:
+
