We take security very seriously. We welcome any peer review of our 100% open source code to ensure the information submitted through this platform or other who rely upon it is not compromised or that hacked.

## Where should I report security issues?

In order to give the community time to respond and upgrade we strongly urge you report all security issues privately. Please email disclosure@opentech.fund with details and reproduction steps. Security issues *always* take precedence over bug fixes and feature work. We can and do mark releases as "urgent" if they contain serious security fixes.

## Password Storage

This application relies upon [Django's good use](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/auth/passwords/) of the PBKDF2 algorithm to encrypt salted passwords. This algorithm is blessed by NIST. Security experts on the web [tend to agree that PBKDF2 is a secure choice](http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/4781/do-any-security-experts-recommend-bcrypt-for-password-storage).
