# Overview

This document provides a high-level view of how venator ensures **secure communication and controlled routing** across all services.

The platform follows a **centralized architecture**, where all requests are processed through secure layers before reaching external services.

***

## **Security Standards**

Identity Fabric uses industry-standard security practices:

* **TLS 1.2+ / 1.3 (HTTPS)**
* **API Key + Secret Authentication**
* **Request Signature Validation**
* **AES-256 Encryption (at rest)**
* **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**
* **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)**

***

## **Communication Flow**

All requests follow a secure, controlled path:

```text theme={null}
Client Dashboard
        ↓
API Gateway
        ↓
Venator Core
        ↓
External Services
        ↓
Response (same path back)
```

***
