Security
Purpose
This section covers the security architecture, token binding mechanisms, OAuth client governance, machine identity trust, and tenant boundary protection that safeguard Keymate-managed authorization flows.
Who This Section Is For
- Security engineers evaluating or hardening Keymate deployments
- Platform architects designing secure authorization flows
- Identity and access management teams managing OAuth clients and tokens
- Operators responsible for tenant isolation and admin action governance
What You Will Find Here
- Sender-constrained tokens and DPoP enforcement
- OAuth client lifecycle and scope governance
- Machine identity and workload trust
- Tenant boundary protection and admin action safeguards
Start by Goal
- Understand how Keymate binds tokens to clients → Sender-Constrained Tokens & DPoP
- Manage OAuth client credentials and scopes → OAuth Client Security
- Learn about workload identity and mTLS trust → Machine Identity & Trust
- Review tenant isolation and admin safeguards → Tenant Boundary Protection
Start by Persona
- Security Engineer → Start with DPoP Enforcement Model, then Replay, Downgrade & Abuse Protection
- Architect → Start with Security Overview, then explore each subsection
- Operator → Start with OAuth Client Lifecycle, then Tenant Boundary Protection
