Security by Design
Payment security is built into every layer of PayFlow, from confidential server-side key governance to role permissions and verified audit logging.
Multi-Layered Payment Protection
Inspect our core security framework protecting API perimeters, credential custody, double-entry records, and audit compliance.
Perimeter & Anycast Shield
Hardened Anycast edge nodes with real-time DDoS mitigation and dedicated static egress IPs.
Confidential Key Governance
Both API Key & Secret Key are strictly confidential server-side secrets with M-of-N quorum approvals.
Data Isolation & Ledger Core
Tenant-isolated sub-ledgers with mathematically balanced zero drift and HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks.
Cryptographic Audit Vault
Append-only immutable SHA-256 event chains with hardware FIDO2 WebAuthn authentication.
Common Payment Security Challenges
Payment operations must protect against exposed client credentials, unverified callbacks, and lack of transaction audit trails.
Client Key Leaks
Exposing API keys in frontend code allows unauthorized parties to forge requests. PayFlow enforces strictly confidential server-side credentials.
Unauthorized Access
Single-user access accounts lack administrative controls. PayFlow provides scoped role-based access for different team members.
Insecure Data Transit
Unencrypted endpoints risk data tampering. PayFlow enforces TLS 1.3 encryption and strict cryptographic verification across all requests.
Unverified Webhooks
Unsigned callbacks risk forged status alerts. PayFlow signs every event via HMAC-SHA256 for verified payload integrity.
Core Security Specifications
Defensive architecture designed for reliable payment processing and secure data management.
Confidential Key Governance
Both API Key and Secret Key are strictly confidential server-side secrets, encrypted at rest and never exposed to client browsers.
Secure Network Perimeter
TLS 1.3 enforced across all API endpoints, protected routing nodes, and IP address restriction capabilities.
AES-256 Storage Encryption
Sensitive credentials and operational tokens are stored using industry-standard AES-256 encryption at rest.
Role-Based Permissions
Configurable permission tiers allow organizations to separate operational access between finance, support, and engineering teams.
Double-Entry Ledger Integrity
Debit and credit transactions are strictly balanced mathematically, preventing unbacked balances or accounting drift.
Comprehensive Audit Trail
Append-only chronological records log all status transitions, administrative approvals, and webhook dispatches.
