# Evernote Security Basics

## Overview
Security best practices for Evernote API integrations, covering credential management, OAuth implementation, data protection, and secure coding patterns.

## Prerequisites
- Evernote SDK setup
- Understanding of OAuth 1.0a
- Basic security concepts

## Instructions

1. See implementation guide for detailed steps.

2. For full implementation details and code examples, load:
3. `references/implementation-guide.md`

## Output
- Secure credential management
- CSRF-protected OAuth flow
- Encrypted token storage
- Input validation utilities
- Secure logging with data redaction
- Token lifecycle management

## Resources

- [API Key Permissions](https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/permissions.php)
- [OWASP Security Guidelines](https://owasp.org/www-project-web-security-testing-guide/)

## Next Steps
For production deployment checklist, see `evernote-prod-checklist`.

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Resolution |
|-------|-------|------------|
| Authentication failure | Invalid or expired credentials | Refresh tokens or re-authenticate with security |
| Configuration conflict | Incompatible settings detected | Review and resolve conflicting parameters |
| Resource not found | Referenced resource missing | Verify resource exists and permissions are correct |

## Examples

**Basic usage**: Apply evernote security basics to a standard project setup with default configuration options.

**Advanced scenario**: Customize evernote security basics for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
