Rate Limiting and DDoS Protection ✅ + +**Created:** `aitbc/security_hardening.py` + +**Features:** +- RateLimiter class implementing token bucket algorithm +- Per-identifier rate limiting (IP address, user ID) +- Configurable rate and time period +- Rate limit reset functionality +- Remaining requests tracking + +### 3. Security Audit Logging ✅ + +**Created:** `aitbc/security_hardening.py` + +**Features:** +- SecurityAuditor class for logging sensitive operations +- SecurityAuditLog dataclass with timestamp, action, user, IP, details, severity +- File-based audit log persistence +- Filtered log retrieval (by action, user, severity) +- Critical log extraction +- Global auditor instance + +### 4. Health Check Endpoints ✅ + +**Created:** `aitbc/health_checks.py` + +**Features:** +- HealthChecker class for service health monitoring +- HealthStatus enum (HEALTHY, DEGRADED, UNHEALTHY) +- HealthCheck dataclass with service status +- Register custom health check functions +- Basic health checks (memory, disk usage) with psutil +- Overall health aggregation +- Health check dictionary export + +### 5.
