## Trust Boundaries

### Boundary 1: Internet → API Gateway
- **Type:** Network boundary
- **Controls:** TLS, Rate limiting, WAF
- **Risks:** DDoS, Injection, Auth bypass

### Boundary 2: API Gateway → Services
- **Type:** Authentication boundary
- **Controls:** JWT validation, Role checks
- **Risks:** Token forgery, Privilege escalation

### Boundary 3: Services → Database
- **Type:** Data access boundary
- **Controls:** Query parameterization, Connection pooling
- **Risks:** SQL injection, Data leakage

### Boundary 4: Services → External APIs
- **Type:** Third-party integration
- **Controls:** API keys, Request signing
- **Risks:** SSRF, Secret exposure

## Entry Points

### HTTP API
| Method | Path | Handler | Auth | Input |
|--------|------|---------|------|-------|
| POST | /api/login | auth.login | None | JSON body |
| GET | /api/users | users.list | JWT | Query params |
| POST | /api/transfer | tx.transfer | JWT + 2FA | JSON body |
| GET | /admin/logs | admin.logs | Admin JWT | Query params |

### WebSocket
| Event | Handler | Auth | Data |
|-------|---------|------|------|
| connect | ws.connect | JWT | None |
| message | ws.message | Session | JSON |

### Background Jobs

### Function: `transfer_funds()`

**Location:** `services/transfer.py:45`

**Purpose:** Execute fund transfer between accounts

**Parameters:**
| Name | Type | Source | Validation |
|------|------|--------|------------|
| from_account | str | JWT claim | UUID format |
| to_account | str | Request body | UUID format, exists check |
| amount | Decimal | Request body | > 0, <= balance |

**Returns:** TransferResult

**Side Effects:**
- Writes to `transactions` table
- Calls external payment API
- Emits `transfer_completed` event

**Security Considerations:**
- Requires authenticated user
- Rate limited to 10/minute
- Amount validated against balance
- Audit logged

**Potential Risks:**
- Race condition if concurrent transfers?
- What if external API fails mid-transfer?
