Story behind the project

SafeWebCore started from real-world issues around inconsistent security configuration in web applications. The goal was a reusable strict foundation for secure defaults.

Problem this solves

Many applications have fragmented header configuration per project, leading to incomplete or incorrect CSP, HSTS, COOP/COEP, and permissions policy setups.

Architecture

Middleware plus options pattern with strict defaults, path-based policies, and nonce integration for scripts and styles in Razor pages.

Lessons learned

Security must be embedded in defaults, not optional setup. Developer experience and clear validation drive adoption.
