# Gamma Security Basics
## Overview
Security best practices for Gamma API integration to protect credentials and data.
## Prerequisites
- Active Gamma integration
- Environment variable support
- Understanding of secret management
## Instructions
### Step 1: Secure API Key Storage
```typescript
// NEVER do this
const gamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: 'gamma_live_abc123...', // Hardcoded - BAD!
});
// DO this instead
const gamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});
```
**Environment Setup:**
```bash
# .env (add to .gitignore!)
GAMMA_API_KEY=gamma_live_abc123...
# Load in application
import 'dotenv/config';
```
### Step 2: Key Rotation Strategy
```typescript
// Support multiple keys for rotation
const gamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY_PRIMARY
|| process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY_SECONDARY,
});
// Rotation script
async function rotateApiKey() {
// 1. Generate new key in Gamma dashboard
// 2. Update GAMMA_API_KEY_SECONDARY
// 3. Deploy and verify
// 4. Swap PRIMARY and SECONDARY
// 5. Revoke old key
}
```
### Step 3: Request Signing (if supported)
```typescript
import crypto from 'crypto';
function signRequest(payload: object, secret: string): string {
const timestamp = Date.now().toString();
const message = timestamp + JSON.stringify(payload);
return crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(message)
.digest('hex');
}
// Usage with webhook verification
function verifyWebhook(body: string, signature: string, secret: string): boolean {
const expected = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(body)
.digest('hex');
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(signature),
Buffer.from(expected)
);
}
```
### Step 4: Access Control Patterns
```typescript
// Scoped API keys (if supported)
const readOnlyGamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY_READONLY,
scopes: ['presentations:read', 'exports:read'],
});
const fullAccessGamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY_FULL,
});
// Permission check before operations
async function createPresentation(user: User, data: object) {
if (!user.permissions.includes('gamma:create')) {
throw new Error('Insufficient permissions');
}
return fullAccessGamma.presentations.create(data);
}
```
### Step 5: Audit Logging
```typescript
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
function createAuditedClient(userId: string) {
return new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
interceptors: {
request: (config) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify({
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
userId,
action: `${config.method} ${config.path}`,
type: 'gamma_api_request',
}));
return config;
},
},
});
}
```
## Security Checklist
- [ ] API keys stored in environment variables
- [ ] .env files in .gitignore
- [ ] No keys in source code or logs
- [ ] Key rotation procedure documented
- [ ] Minimal permission scopes used
- [ ] Audit logging enabled
- [ ] Webhook signatures verified
- [ ] HTTPS enforced for all calls
## Error Handling
| Security Issue | Detection | Remediation |
|----------------|-----------|-------------|
| Exposed key | GitHub scanning | Rotate immediately |
| Key in logs | Log audit | Filter sensitive data |
| Unauthorized access | Audit logs | Revoke and investigate |
| Weak permissions | Access review | Apply least privilege |
