Core Security Features

🔐

End-to-End Encryption

✅ Active
All communications and data are protected with military-grade AES-256 encryption. Messages, transactions, and user data are encrypted before leaving your device and remain encrypted throughout transmission and storage.

Technical Implementation:

  • AES-256-GCM encryption for all data at rest
  • ChaCha20-Poly1305 for real-time communications
  • Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) for all sessions
  • Key rotation every 24 hours
  • Hardware Security Module (HSM) key storage
💎

Multi-Signature Escrow

✅ Active
Our advanced multi-signature escrow system ensures that no single party can access funds without proper authorization. Transactions require multiple cryptographic signatures for release.

Escrow Protection:

  • 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet architecture
  • Cold storage for 95% of funds
  • Automatic dispute resolution system
  • Time-locked transactions for additional security
  • Independent key generation and management
🔑

Advanced 2FA System

✅ Mandatory
Mandatory two-factor authentication using PGP encryption ensures that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure. We support multiple 2FA methods for maximum flexibility.

Authentication Methods:

  • PGP-based message authentication (primary)
  • Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP)
  • Hardware security key support (FIDO2/WebAuthn)
  • Backup recovery codes
  • Anti-phishing phrase verification
👤

Privacy by Design

✅ Built-in
We collect minimal data and implement privacy-preserving technologies to ensure your identity and activities remain completely anonymous and untraceable.

Privacy Protections:

  • Zero-knowledge architecture design
  • No IP address logging or tracking
  • Automatic log deletion every 7 days
  • Tor-only access requirement
  • Monero-exclusive payment system
🏰

Hardened Infrastructure

✅ Secured
Our infrastructure is built with security-first principles, featuring multiple layers of protection, redundancy, and continuous monitoring to prevent any unauthorized access.

Infrastructure Protection:

  • Distributed server architecture across multiple jurisdictions
  • DDoS protection and rate limiting
  • Intrusion detection and prevention systems
  • Regular penetration testing and security audits
  • Air-gapped backup systems

User Security Guidelines

🔐
Account Security
1
Use a unique, strong password that has never been used elsewhere. Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. Minimum 16 characters recommended.
2
Enable PGP-based 2FA immediately after account creation. Never share your PGP private key and store it securely offline.
3
Backup your mnemonic recovery phrase on paper and store it in a secure location. This is the only way to recover your account.
4
Verify your anti-phishing phrase appears correctly after each login. If it's missing or incorrect, you may be on a fake site.
🌐
Access Security
1
Always use Tor Browser to access Abacus Market. Never use regular browsers or VPN-only connections.
2
Verify official onion links using our PGP signatures. Bookmark verified links and never search for links on public forums.
3
Use a dedicated, clean device when possible. Avoid accessing from shared computers or devices with malware.
4
Clear cookies and cache after each session and never save passwords in your browser.
💰
Transaction Security
1
Never send payments outside the escrow system. All legitimate transactions must go through our multi-signature escrow.
2
Verify vendor reputation and reviews before making purchases. Look for established vendors with positive feedback.
3
Use tumbling services for your Monero before depositing to add an extra layer of privacy to your transactions.
4
Keep transaction amounts reasonable and avoid patterns that could be used to identify your activity.
