## Overview

LockLLM is a state-of-the-art AI security ecosystem that detects prompt injection, hidden instructions, and data exfiltration attempts in real-time. Built for production LLM applications and AI agents, it provides comprehensive protection across all major AI providers with a single, simple API.

**Key Capabilities:**

- **Real-Time Security Scanning** - Analyze every LLM request before execution with minimal latency (<250ms)
- **Advanced ML Detection** - Models trained on real-world attack patterns for prompt injection and jailbreaks
- **17+ Provider Support** - Universal coverage across OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, Gemini, and more
- **Drop-in Integration** - Replace existing SDKs with zero code changes - just change one line
- **Free Unlimited Scanning** - BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model with free unlimited scanning
- **Privacy by Default** - Your data is never stored, only scanned in-memory and discarded

## Why LockLLM

### The Problem

LLM applications are vulnerable to sophisticated attacks that exploit the nature of language models:

- **Prompt Injection Attacks** - Malicious inputs designed to override system instructions and manipulate model behavior
- **Jailbreak Attempts** - Crafted prompts that bypass safety guardrails and content policies
- **System Prompt Extraction** - Techniques to reveal confidential system prompts and training data
- **Indirect Injection** - Attacks hidden in external content (documents, websites, emails)

Traditional security approaches fall short:

- Manual input validation is incomplete and easily bypassed
- Provider-level moderation only catches policy violations, not injection attacks
- Custom filters require security expertise and constant maintenance
- Separate security tools add complexity and integration overhead

### The Solution

LockLLM provides production-ready AI security that integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure:

- **Advanced Threat Detection** - ML models trained on real-world attack patterns with continuous updates. [View benchmarks](https://www.lockllm.com)
- **Real-Time Scanning** - Every request is analyzed before reaching your LLM, with minimal latency (<250ms)
- **Universal Integration** - Works across all major LLM providers with a single SDK
- **Zero Configuration** - Drop-in replacement for official SDKs - change one line of code
- **Privacy-First Architecture** - Your data is never stored, only scanned in-memory

## Quick Start

### Step 1: Get Your API Keys

1. Visit [lockllm.com](https://www.lockllm.com) and create an account
2. Navigate to **API Keys** and copy your LockLLM API key
3. Go to **Proxy Settings** and add your provider API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

### Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method

LockLLM offers three flexible integration approaches:

| Method | Use Case | Code Changes |
|--------|----------|--------------|
| **Wrapper Functions** | Easiest - drop-in SDK replacement | Change 1 line |
| **Direct Scan API** | Manual control and custom workflows | Add scan call |
| **Official SDKs** | Maximum flexibility | Change baseURL only |

---

### Method 1: Wrapper Functions (Recommended)

The fastest way to add security - simply replace your SDK initialization:

```typescript
import { createOpenAI } from '@lockllm/sdk/wrappers';

// Before:
// const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });

// After:
const openai = createOpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY
});

// Everything else remains unchanged
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: userInput }]
});
```

**Supported providers:**
```typescript
import {
  createOpenAI,
  createAnthropic,
  createGroq,
  createDeepSeek,
  createMistral,
  createPerplexity,
  createOpenRouter,
  createAzure,
  createBedrock,
  createVertexAI,
  // ... and 7 more
} from '@lockllm/sdk/wrappers';
```

### Method 2: Direct Scan API

For custom workflows, manual validation, or multi-step security checks:

```typescript
import { LockLLM } from '@lockllm/sdk';

const lockllm = new LockLLM({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY
});

// Scan user input before processing
const result = await lockllm.scan({
  input: userPrompt,
  sensitivity: "medium"  // or "low" | "high"
});

if (!result.safe) {
  // Handle security incident
  console.log("Injection detected:", result.injection);
  console.log("Request ID:", result.request_id);

  // Log to security system
  // Alert monitoring
  // Return error to user
  return;
}

// Safe to proceed with LLM call
const response = await yourLLMCall(userPrompt);
```

### Method 3: Official SDKs with Custom BaseURL

Use any provider's official SDK - just point it to LockLLM's proxy:

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { getProxyURL } from '@lockllm/sdk';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY,
  baseURL: getProxyURL('openai')
});

// Works exactly like the official SDK
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
});
```

## Supported Providers

LockLLM supports 17+ AI providers with three flexible integration methods:

### Provider List

| Provider | Wrapper Function | OpenAI Compatible | Status |
|----------|-----------------|-------------------|--------|
| **OpenAI** | `createOpenAI()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Anthropic** | `createAnthropic()` | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Groq** | `createGroq()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **DeepSeek** | `createDeepSeek()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Perplexity** | `createPerplexity()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Mistral AI** | `createMistral()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **OpenRouter** | `createOpenRouter()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Together AI** | `createTogether()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **xAI (Grok)** | `createXAI()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Fireworks AI** | `createFireworks()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Anyscale** | `createAnyscale()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Hugging Face** | `createHuggingFace()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Google Gemini** | `createGemini()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Cohere** | `createCohere()` | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Azure OpenAI** | `createAzure()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **AWS Bedrock** | `createBedrock()` | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Google Vertex AI** | `createVertexAI()` | ✅ | ✅ |

### Custom Endpoints

All providers support custom endpoint URLs for:
- Self-hosted LLM deployments (OpenAI-compatible APIs)
- Alternative API gateways and reverse proxies
- Custom Azure OpenAI resources
- Private cloud or air-gapped deployments
- Development and staging environments

**How it works:**
Configure custom endpoints in the [LockLLM dashboard](https://www.lockllm.com/dashboard) when adding any provider API key. The SDK wrappers automatically use your custom endpoint instead of the default.

**Example:** Use the OpenAI wrapper with your self-hosted Llama model by configuring a custom endpoint URL.

## How It Works

### Authentication Flow

LockLLM uses a secure BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model - you maintain control of your provider API keys while LockLLM handles security scanning:

**Your Provider API Keys** (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

- Add once to the [LockLLM dashboard](https://www.lockllm.com/dashboard)
- Encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
- Never exposed in API responses, logs, or error messages
- Stored in secure, isolated infrastructure with access monitoring
- Can be rotated or revoked at any time
- **Never include these in your application code**

**Your LockLLM API Key**

- Use this single key in your SDK configuration
- Authenticates requests to the LockLLM security gateway
- Works across all 17+ providers with one key
- **This is the only key that goes in your code**

### Request Flow

Every request goes through LockLLM's security gateway before reaching your AI provider:

```
User Input
    ↓
Your Application
    ↓
LockLLM Security Gateway
    ↓
[Real-Time ML Scan - 100-200ms]
    ↓
├─ ✅ Safe Input → Forward to Provider → Return Response
└─ ⛔ Malicious Input → Block Request → Return 400 Error
```

**For Safe Inputs (Normal Operation):**

1. **Scan** - Request analyzed for threats using advanced ML models (~100-200ms)
2. **Forward** - Clean request forwarded to your configured provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
3. **Response** - Provider's response returned to your application unchanged
4. **Metadata** - Response headers include scan metadata (`X-LockLLM-Safe: true`, `X-LockLLM-Request-ID`)

**For Malicious Inputs (Attack Blocked):**

1. **Detection** - Threat detected during real-time ML analysis
2. **Block** - Request blocked immediately (never reaches your AI provider - saves you money!)
3. **Error Response** - Detailed error returned with threat classification and confidence scores
4. **Logging** - Incident automatically logged in [dashboard](https://www.lockllm.com/dashboard) for review and monitoring

### Privacy & Security

LockLLM is built with privacy and security as core principles. Your data stays yours.

**Provider API Key Security:**

- **Encrypted at Rest** - AES-256 encryption for all stored provider API keys
- **Isolated Storage** - Keys stored in secure, isolated infrastructure with strict access controls
- **Never Exposed** - Keys never appear in API responses, error messages, or logs
- **Access Monitoring** - All key access is logged and monitored for suspicious activity
- **Easy Rotation** - Rotate or revoke keys instantly from the dashboard

**Data Privacy (Privacy by Default):**

- **Zero Storage** - Prompts are **never stored** - only scanned in-memory and immediately discarded
- **Metadata Only** - Only non-sensitive metadata logged: timestamp, model, prompt length, scan results
- **No Content Logging** - Zero prompt content in logs, database, or any persistent storage
- **Compliance Ready** - GDPR and SOC 2 compliant architecture
- **Full Transparency** - Complete data processing transparency - you always know what we do with your data

**Request Security:**

- **Modern Encryption** - TLS 1.3 encryption for all API calls in transit
- **Smart Retries** - Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient failures
- **Timeout Protection** - Configurable request timeout protection to prevent hanging requests
- **Rate Limiting** - Per-account rate limiting to prevent abuse
- **Audit Trails** - Request ID tracking for complete audit trails and incident investigation

## Performance

LockLLM adds minimal latency while providing comprehensive security protection. [View detailed benchmarks](https://www.lockllm.com)

**Latency Characteristics:**

| Operation | Latency |
|-----------|---------|
| Security Scan | 100-200ms |
| Network Overhead | ~50ms |
| **Total Added Latency** | **150-250ms** |
| Typical LLM Response | 1-10+ seconds |
| **Impact** | **<3% overhead** |

**Why This Matters:** The added latency is negligible compared to typical LLM response times (1-10+ seconds) and provides critical security protection for production applications. Most users won't notice the difference, but they will notice being protected from attacks.

**Performance Optimizations:**

- **Intelligent Caching** - Scan results cached for identical inputs to eliminate redundant processing
- **Connection Pooling** - Automatic connection pooling and keep-alive for reduced network overhead
- **Concurrent Processing** - Multiple requests handled in parallel without blocking
- **Edge Deployment** - Regional edge nodes for reduced latency (coming soon)

## Rate Limits

LockLLM uses a 10-tier progressive system based on monthly usage. Higher tiers unlock faster rate limits and free monthly credits.

| Tier | Max RPM | Monthly Spending Requirement |
|------|---------|----------------------------|
| **Tier 1** (Free) | 300 RPM | $0 |

- **Header Respect** - Follows `Retry-After` response header for optimal retry timing
- **Configurable Retries** - Adjust `maxRetries` parameter to match your application needs
- **Clear Error Messages** - Rate limit errors include retry timing and request IDs for debugging

## Configuration

### Custom Base URL

```typescript
const lockllm = new LockLLM({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://custom.lockllm.com"
});
```

### Custom Timeout

```typescript
const lockllm = new LockLLM({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY,
  timeout: 30000  // 30 seconds
});
```

### Custom Retry Logic

```typescript
const lockllm = new LockLLM({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY,
  maxRetries: 5
});
```

### Advanced Scan Options

Control scan behavior with mode, sensitivity, and action headers:

```typescript
// Scan API with advanced options
const result = await lockllm.scan(
  {
    input: userPrompt,
    sensitivity: 'high',        // 'low' | 'medium' | 'high'
    mode: 'combined',           // 'normal' | 'policy_only' | 'combined'
    chunk: true                 // Force chunking for long texts
  },
  {
    scanAction: 'block',        // Block core injection attacks
    policyAction: 'allow_with_warning',  // Allow but warn on policy violations
    abuseAction: 'block',       // Enable abuse detection (opt-in)
    piiAction: 'strip',         // Redact PII from input (opt-in)
    compressionAction: 'combined' // Compress prompts (opt-in: 'toon' | 'compact' | 'combined')
  }
);

// Proxy mode with advanced options
const openai = createOpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY,
  proxyOptions: {
    scanMode: 'combined',           // Check both core + policies
    scanAction: 'block',            // Block injection attacks
    policyAction: 'block',          // Block policy violations
    abuseAction: 'allow_with_warning',  // Detect abuse, don't block
    piiAction: 'strip',             // Automatically redact PII
    compressionAction: 'compact',   // Compress prompts (free: 'toon', paid: 'compact' | 'combined')
    compressionRate: 0.5,           // Compression rate 0.3-0.7 (compact/combined only)
    routeAction: 'auto'             // Enable smart routing
  }
});
```

**Scan Modes:**
- `normal` - Core security threats only (injection, jailbreaks, etc.)
- `policy_only` - Custom policies only (skip core security)
- `combined` (default) - Both core security AND custom policies

**Sensitivity Levels:**
- `low` - Fewer false positives, may miss sophisticated attacks
- `medium` (default) - Balanced approach, recommended
- `high` - Maximum protection, may have more false positives

**Action Headers:**
- `scanAction` - Controls core injection detection: `'block'` | `'allow_with_warning'`
- `policyAction` - Controls custom policy violations: `'block'` | `'allow_with_warning'`
- `abuseAction` - Controls abuse detection (opt-in): `'block'` | `'allow_with_warning'` | `null`
- `piiAction` - Controls PII detection (opt-in): `'strip'` | `'block'` | `'allow_with_warning'` | `null`
- `compressionAction` - Controls prompt compression (opt-in): `'toon'` | `'compact'` | `'combined'` | `null`
- `compressionRate` - Compression rate for compact/combined method: `0.3` - `0.7` (default: `0.5`)
- `routeAction` - Controls smart routing: `'disabled'` | `'auto'` | `'custom'`

**Default Behavior (no headers):**
- Scan Mode: `combined` (check both core + policies)
- Scan Action: `allow_with_warning` (detect but don't block)
- Policy Action: `allow_with_warning` (detect but don't block)
- Abuse Action: `null` (disabled, opt-in only)
- PII Action: `null` (disabled, opt-in only)
- Compression Action: `null` (disabled, opt-in only)
- Route Action: `disabled` (no routing)

## Best Practices

### Security

1. **Never hardcode API keys** - Use environment variables
2. **Log security incidents** - Track blocked requests in your monitoring system
3. **Set appropriate sensitivity** - Balance security vs false positives for your use case
4. **Handle errors gracefully** - Provide user-friendly error messages
5. **Monitor request IDs** - Use request IDs for incident investigation

### Performance

1. **Use wrapper functions** - Most efficient integration method
2. **Cache responses** - Cache LLM responses when appropriate
3. **Implement timeouts** - Set reasonable timeouts for your use case
4. **Monitor latency** - Track P50, P95, P99 latencies in production

### Production Deployment

1. **Test sensitivity levels** - Validate detection thresholds with real data
2. **Implement monitoring** - Track blocked requests and false positives
3. **Set up alerting** - Get notified of security incidents
4. **Review logs regularly** - Analyze patterns in blocked requests
