## 🔒 Layer 13: Mutex Framework (Race Condition Protection)
### Purpose
Prevents race conditions during connection establishment and cryptographic operations through advanced mutex coordination system.
### Technical Implementation
- **Custom Mutex System:** `_withMutex('connectionOperation')` with 15-second timeout
- **Atomic Operations:** Serialized connection operations to prevent conflicts
- **Deadlock Prevention:** Emergency recovery mechanisms with automatic cleanup
- **Operation Tracking:** Unique `operationId` for comprehensive diagnostics
### Security Benefits
- **Race Condition Prevention:** Eliminates timing-based attacks during key generation
- **Connection Integrity:** Ensures atomic connection establishment
- **Error Recovery:** Automatic rollback via `_cleanupFailedOfferCreation()` on failures
- **Diagnostic Capability:** Phase tracking for precise error identification
### Implementation Details
```javascript
// Mutex-protected connection operations
await this._withMutex('connectionOperation', async () => {
const operationId = this._generateOperationId();
try {
await this._generateEncryptionKeys();
await this._validateConnectionParameters();
await this._establishSecureChannel();
} catch (error) {
await this._cleanupFailedOfferCreation(operationId);
throw error;
}
});
```

## 🔐 Layer 14: Secure Key Storage (WeakMap Isolation)
### Purpose
Replaces public key properties with private WeakMap-based storage to prevent unauthorized access and memory exposure.
### Technical Implementation
- **WeakMap Storage:** `_secureKeyStorage` for all cryptographic keys
- **Private Access Methods:** `_getSecureKey()`, `_setSecureKey()`, `_initializeSecureKeyStorage()`
- **Key Validation:** `_validateKeyValue()` with type and format checking
- **Key Rotation:** `_rotateKeys()` with secure key replacement
- **Emergency Wipe:** `_emergencyKeyWipe()` for threat response
### Security Benefits
- **Memory Protection:** Keys inaccessible via direct property access or debugger
- **Access Control:** Secure getters/setters with validation
- **Key Lifetime Management:** Automatic rotation and expiration
- **Threat Response:** Immediate key destruction capabilities
### Implementation Details
```javascript
// Secure key storage initialization
this._initializeSecureKeyStorage();
// Secure key access
const encryptionKey = this._getSecureKey('encryptionKey');
this._setSecureKey('encryptionKey', newKey, { validate: true });
// Emergency key wipe
this._emergencyKeyWipe();
```

## 🛡️ Layer 15: Production Security Logging (Data Sanitization)
### Purpose
Implements environment-aware logging system that prevents sensitive data exposure while maintaining useful diagnostics.
### Technical Implementation
- **Environment Detection:** Automatic production vs development mode detection
- **Data Sanitization:** `_secureLog()` replacing `console.log` with sanitization
- **Log Level Control:** Production (warn+error only), Development (debug+)
- **Rate Limiting:** Automatic log spam prevention and cleanup
- **Memory Management:** Automatic cleanup for log counters
### Security Benefits
- **Data Protection:** Encryption keys, message content, and tokens are sanitized
- **Privacy Preservation:** User privacy maintained in production logs
- **Debugging Support:** Safe debugging information without sensitive content
- **Compliance:** Meets privacy regulations and security standards
### Implementation Details
```javascript
// Secure logging with data sanitization
this._secureLog('debug', 'Connection established', {
userId: '[REDACTED]',
encryptionKey: '[REDACTED]',
messageContent: '[REDACTED]'
});
// Environment-aware logging
if (this._isProductionMode()) {
// Only critical errors and warnings
} else {
// Full debugging information (sanitized)
}
```
