Security Architecture
Deepgram Temporary Token Authentication
Security Challenge: Direct frontend-to-Deepgram connection exposes API keys in client-side code, creating significant security vulnerabilities.
Solution: Deepgram temporary token system provides secure, time-limited authentication without exposing master API keys.
Security Flow
Security Benefits
✅ Master API Key Protection: Never exposed to client-side code ✅ Time-Limited Access: Tokens expire automatically (30s - 1hr) ✅ Audit Trail: All token generation logged for compliance ✅ Session-Based: Tokens tied to specific transcription sessions ✅ Healthcare Compliance: Meets HIPAA security requirements ✅ Zero Trust: No permanent credentials on frontend

endCredentials
The implementation uses Rails encrypted credentials for storing sensitive API keys:
- Deepgram API credentials
- LLM provider API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
- Storage provider credentials
Security Considerations
-
API Key Management
- All API keys stored in Rails encrypted credentials
- Temporary keys generated for client-side use
- Key rotation support
-
Data Privacy
- Audio streams encrypted in transit
- PII detection and redaction in transcripts
- HIPAA compliance considerations
-
Access Control
- Role-based permissions for AI scribe features
- Clinic-level settings enforcement
- Audit logging for all AI interactions
-
Rate Limiting
- LLM API call rate limiting
- Deepgram API quotas management
- Per-clinic usage limits
