    style F,G,H fill:#9E9E9E,stroke:#616161,stroke-width:2px,color:white,font-weight:bold
```

### Current Implementation

Black Trigram is a frontend-only web application with:

- **🌐 No Authentication System**: Direct browser access without login
- **💾 No Persistent Data**: All state stored in browser session only
- **🔄 No Backend Services**: Purely static content delivery
- **⚠️ No Access Controls**: All game content publicly accessible

### Authorization Model

- **🔓 Open Access**: All game content is publicly available with no authorization gates
- **🔑 CI/CD OIDC**: GitHub Actions uses OIDC federation for AWS deployment (no static credentials)
- **🛡️ IAM Least Privilege**: AWS `GithubWorkFlowRole` scoped to minimal S3/CloudFront permissions
- **📋 No RBAC**: No role-based access control — not applicable for frontend-only architecture

### Security Implications

- **✅ Reduced Attack Surface**: No user accounts or authentication to compromise
- **✅ No Credential Storage**: No passwords or sensitive user data
- **❌ No Session Protection**: All data lost on browser refresh
- **❌ No User Privacy**: Cannot protect individual user data

## 📜 Data Integrity & Auditing

**Current Status**: ❌ No Data Auditing - Session-Only Application

    style D,E,F,G fill:#9E9E9E,stroke:#616161,stroke-width:2px,color:white,font-weight:bold
```

### Current Implementation

Black Trigram currently has:

- **🚫 No Data Auditing**: No tracking of user actions or data changes
- **🚫 No Change History**: No record of combat sessions or progress
- **🚫 No Author Attribution**: Cannot track individual user activities
- **🚫 No Persistence**: All data lost when browser session ends

### Security Implications

- **✅ No Sensitive Data**: No personal information to audit
- **✅ Privacy by Design**: No data collection or tracking
- **❌ No Analytics**: Cannot monitor for security events
- **❌ No Forensics**: No audit trail for investigation

## 📊 Session & Action Tracking

**Current Status**: ❌ No Session Tracking - Client-Side Only

```mermaid
%%{init: {'theme':'base', 'themeVariables': {'primaryColor':'#2979FF','primaryTextColor':'#fff','primaryBorderColor':'#0D47A1','lineColor':'#00C853','secondaryColor':'#FFD600','tertiaryColor':'#FF3D00'}}}%%

    style D,E,F,G fill:#9E9E9E,stroke:#616161,stroke-width:2px,color:white,font-weight:bold
```

### Current Implementation

Black Trigram session handling:

- **🚫 No Session Tracking**: No server-side session management
- **🚫 No User Identification**: Anonymous gameplay only
- **🚫 No Activity Logging**: No record of player actions
- **🚫 No Metadata Collection**: No browser or device information stored

### Security Implications

- **✅ Maximum Privacy**: No tracking or data collection
- **✅ No Profiling**: Cannot build user behavior profiles
- **❌ No Security Monitoring**: Cannot detect suspicious activity
- **❌ No Analytics**: No usage patterns for security analysis

## 🔍 Security Event Monitoring

**Current Status**: ❌ No Security Event Monitoring - Frontend Only

```mermaid
%%{init: {'theme':'base', 'themeVariables': {'primaryColor':'#2979FF','primaryTextColor':'#fff','primaryBorderColor':'#0D47A1','lineColor':'#00C853','secondaryColor':'#FFD600','tertiaryColor':'#FF3D00'}}}%%

    end

    style A,B,C,D,E,F fill:#9E9E9E,stroke:#616161,stroke-width:2px,color:white,font-weight:bold
```

### Current Implementation

Black Trigram security monitoring:

- **🚫 No Authentication Events**: No login/logout to monitor
- **🚫 No Authorization Events**: No access control to track
- **🚫 No System Events**: Frontend-only with no server events
- **🚫 No Security Alerts**: No monitoring system in place

### Security Implications

- **✅ No Security Events**: No authentication to compromise
- **✅ Minimal Attack Surface**: Static content only
- **❌ No Threat Detection**: Cannot identify attacks
- **❌ No Incident Response**: No system to detect incidents

## 🌐 Network Security & Perimeter Protection

**Current Status**: ✅ AWS CloudFront + Route53 - Multi-Region with GitHub Pages DR

```

### Current Implementation

Black Trigram network security includes AWS CloudFront + S3 multi-region deployment with GitHub Pages disaster recovery:

#### ⚡ AWS CloudFront CDN

- **✅ Global Edge Network**: 400+ Points of Presence worldwide
- **✅ DDoS Protection**: AWS Shield Standard included (Layer 3/4 protection)
- **✅ Origin Shield**: Additional caching layer for S3 protection
- **✅ Cache Behavior**: Aggressive caching for static assets (1 year TTL)
- **✅ Geo-Restriction**: Optional geographic access controls
- **✅ Custom SSL/TLS**: ACM certificates with automatic renewal

#### 💾 AWS S3 Multi-Region Storage

- **✅ Primary Region**: us-east-1 for low-latency delivery
- **✅ Backup Region**: Multi-region replication for redundancy
- **✅ Versioning**: S3 object versioning enabled
- **✅ Encryption**: Server-side encryption (SSE-S3)
- **✅ Access Control**: IAM policies and bucket policies
- **✅ Block Public Access**: Configured via CloudFront only

#### 🛡️ DNS Security (Route53 + DNSSEC)

- **✅ DNSSEC Enabled**: Domain Name System Security Extensions for DNS integrity
- **✅ Route53 Hosting**: AWS Route53 provides authoritative DNS with DNSSEC support
- **✅ Health Checks**: Active monitoring with automatic failover to GitHub Pages
- **✅ DNS Query Validation**: Cryptographic verification of DNS responses
- **✅ Cache Poisoning Protection**: DNSSEC prevents DNS spoofing attacks

#### 📄 GitHub Pages Disaster Recovery

- **✅ Automatic Failover**: Route53 health checks trigger DNS failover during AWS outages
- **✅ Independent Infrastructure**: Separate from AWS for resilience
- **✅ Release-based Deployment**: GitHub Pages deployed on tagged releases (via `release.yml`), periodically updated for DR readiness
- **✅ TLS Encryption**: GitHub-managed TLS certificates
- **✅ Preconfigured Failover**: Once Route53 health checks and DNS records are set up, failover is automatic

#### 🔐 Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA)

- **✅ CAA Records**: Specifies which Certificate Authorities can issue certificates
- **✅ Email Validation**: CAA records configured for email-based certificate validation
- **✅ Certificate Misuse Prevention**: Prevents unauthorized certificate issuance
- **✅ Compliance**: Follows CAB Forum baseline requirements

### Security Benefits

- **🔒 Encrypted Traffic**: All communications protected by TLS 1.3
- **🛡️ DDoS Protection**: AWS Shield Standard included with CloudFront

- **🌍 Global CDN**: CloudFront edge locations worldwide
- **📡 Health Checks**: Automatic failover to GitHub Pages DR
- **⚡ Minimal Attack Surface**: No server-side code to exploit

### DNS Security Features

#### 🔐 DNSSEC Protection

- **Chain of Trust**: Complete cryptographic chain from root to domain
- **Response Authentication**: All DNS responses cryptographically signed
- **Data Integrity**: Prevents tampering with DNS records in transit
- **Non-Existence Proof**: NSEC3 records prevent zone enumeration

#### 📜 CAA Record Protection

- **Certificate Authority Control**: Explicitly authorizes trusted CAs
- **Email Notification**: Security contact for certificate-related incidents
- **Wildcard Protection**: Separate controls for wildcard certificates
- **Compliance**: Meets CAB Forum baseline requirements for domain validation

#### 🌐 Route53 Security Benefits

- **AWS Infrastructure**: Benefits from AWS's global security infrastructure
- **DDoS Protection**: Built-in protection against DNS-based DDoS attacks
- **High Availability**: Anycast network with multiple geographic locations
- **Monitoring**: CloudWatch integration for DNS query monitoring

```

### Current Status

Black Trigram does not use VPC infrastructure:

- **🚫 No VPC**: Frontend-only application with no AWS VPC
- **🚫 No Private Subnets**: Static content delivery only
- **🚫 No Endpoints**: No AWS service endpoints needed

## 🏗️ High Availability & Resilience

**Current Status**: ✅ Multi-Region AWS + GitHub Pages DR

- **✅ GitHub Pages DR**: Independent disaster recovery infrastructure
- **✅ Route53 Health Checks**: Active monitoring with automatic failover
- **✅ Edge Caching**: Assets cached at multiple locations worldwide
- **✅ Zero RPO**: Real-time replication and version control

### Availability Targets

- **RTO (Recovery Time Objective)**: 15 minutes (automatic failover)
- **RPO (Recovery Point Objective)**: 0 minutes (real-time replication)
- **Uptime Target**: 99.9% (CloudFront SLA)
- **DR Activation**: Automatic via Route53 health checks

### Availability Benefits
