+# Security Enhancements for KubeArmor
+
+## 1. Secure Kubearmor with Seccomp
+
+To further enhance the security of KubeArmor itself, it is crucial to protect it using seccomp (secure computing mode), a Linux kernel feature that restricts the system calls (syscalls) a process can make, thereby reducing the attack surface.
+
+With this, Kubearmor will only be using Syscalls necessary to function.
+
+
+### Enabling seccomp in Kubearmor Configuration 
+
+By default, seccomp is disabled.
+
+In the [Kubearmor Config](https://github.com/kubearmor/KubeArmor/blob/main/pkg/KubeArmorOperator/config/samples/sample-config.yml), set `seccompEnabled: true` and do a `kubectl apply -f config.yaml` to enable seccomp hardening for Kubearmor.
+
+You can check out https://github.com/kubearmor/KubeArmor/blob/bbdc04d4dea3c3e717821e4894f46bd7b30c0d4b/pkg/KubeArmorOperator/seccomp/seccomp.go#L19 to see the list of Syscalls that are allowed by Kubearmor after it is enabled.
+
+### Debugging
+
+There may be some enviroments where seccomp profiles might not work, for example a K8s enviroment where the Kubelet path is different than the default `/var/lib/kubelet`. We are currently in the process of defining our own Kubelet path in a future update.
+
+Other issues like missing syscalls in a particular K8s setup is possible, in that case raise an issue in the [repo](https://github.com/kubearmor/KubeArmor/issues).
+
+
+## 2. Secure gRPC Communication
+
+Communication with KubeArmor (v1.3.0^) and Relay (v1.2.0^) endpoints
+is protected using TLS. Both microservices support mTLS to ensure secure and authenticated communication.

+
+
+### TLS Configurations
+
+#### KubeArmor Operator
+
+KubeArmorConfig CR supports these [TLS Configurations](https://github.com/kubearmor/KubeArmor/blob/bbdc04d4dea3c3e717821e4894f46bd7b30c0d4b/pkg/KubeArmorOperator/config/crd/bases/operator.kubearmor.com_kubearmorconfigs.yaml#L136-L149)  that can be used to configure TLS.
+
+```
+tls:
+  enable: true/false
+  extraDnsNames: []
+  extraIpAddresses: []
+```
+
+`extraDnsNames`, and `extraIpAddresses` can be used to configure additional hosts where relay is being served i.e. to connect with relay using port-forward on localhost or 127.0.0.1 it needs to be configured as additional hosts first. 
+
+By default localhost and 127.0.0.1 are configured as additional hosts.
+
+#### KubeArmor Helm Chart
+
+helm chart supports global flag to enable/disable TLS.
+```
+tls:
+  enabled: true/false
+```
+In addition, both kubearmor and kubearmor relay supports tls specific configurations:
+[kubearmor relay tls configurations](https://github.com/kubearmor/KubeArmor/blob/bbdc04d4dea3c3e717821e4894f46bd7b30c0d4b/deployments/helm/KubeArmor/values.yaml#L26)
+[kubearmor tls configurations](https://github.com/kubearmor/KubeArmor/blob/bbdc04d4dea3c3e717821e4894f46bd7b30c0d4b/deployments/helm/KubeArmor/values.yaml#L112)
+
+##### Mode 1: External CA and client/server certificates:
+
+`--tlsCertProvider: external`
+
+Use this configuration to provide your own configure CA.
+For kubearmor relay both client and server certificates can be provided externally.
+
+KubeArmor only takes CA externally and creates its own certificates signed using provided CA.
+
+##### Mode 2: External CA and dynamic client/server certificates:
+
+`--tlsCertProvider: self`
+
+Provided this configuration for both KubeArmor and Relay, they create their own certificates dynamically signed with provided CA.
