Authentication
JWT, API keys, scoped access, and session validation.
Security
Security by Architecture
OpenQCore is designed with layered controls for authentication, access management, workspace isolation, runtime protection, and operational visibility.
Security Pillars
Access Control
Role-based permissions and workspace-aware authorization.
Workspace Isolation
Strict separation between personal and organizational execution contexts.
Data Protection
Encryption in transit and secure storage practices.
Runtime Protection
Rate limiting, deduplication, locking, validation, and overload controls.
Auditability
Traceable execution with request correlation and operational visibility.
Provider Security
Controlled access to external model providers through unified routing layers.
Operational Resilience
Circuit breakers, fallback routing, and service degradation controls.
Security Architecture
Layered controls across identity, policy, runtime, and provider boundaries.

Security FAQ
How are API keys protected?
API keys are handled through scoped access patterns, secure storage practices, and controlled usage boundaries.
How is workspace data isolated?
Execution contexts are separated between personal and organizational scopes with workspace-aware authorization boundaries.
How are requests audited?
Requests are traceable through correlation identifiers, logs, and operational visibility controls.
How does provider routing work?
Requests pass through a unified routing layer with policy checks and runtime controls before provider execution.
What happens during provider outages?
Runtime resilience controls such as circuit breakers and fallback routing help contain failures and maintain continuity.
Security Principles
Zero Trust Access
Every request is verified and authorized before execution.
Encryption by Default
Data protected in transit and at rest.
Least Privilege
Access is limited to the minimum required scope.
Continuous Monitoring
Runtime activity, audit events, and system health are continuously observed.
