+## Security Features
+
+### ReDoS Protection
+
+Snap Validate includes built-in protection against Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks:
+
+- **Regex Safety Detection**: Automatically detects and prevents potentially dangerous regex patterns
+- **Input Length Limits**: Protects against extremely long input strings (10,000 character limit)
+- **Timeout Protection**: Configurable timeout for regex operations (default: 1 second)
+- **Safe Defaults**: All predefined validators use safe, optimized regex patterns
+
+```javascript
+// Set custom timeout for regex operations
+const validator = new BaseValidator(value)
+  .setRegexTimeout(2000) // 2 second timeout
+  .pattern(/your-pattern/, 'Error message');
+
+// Use async pattern validation for complex patterns with timeout protection
+const validator = new BaseValidator(value)
+  .patternAsync(/complex-pattern/, 'Error message');
+
+const result = await validator.validateAsync();

+## Security and Pattern Validation
+
+### Safe Pattern Validation
+
+```javascript
+const { BaseValidator } = require('snap-validate');
+
+// Synchronous pattern validation with built-in safety checks
+const validator = new BaseValidator(value)
+  .pattern(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/, 'Only alphanumeric characters allowed');
+
+// Asynchronous pattern validation with timeout protection
+const asyncValidator = new BaseValidator(value)
+  .patternAsync(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/, 'Only alphanumeric characters allowed')
+  .setRegexTimeout(5000); // 5 second timeout
+
+const result = await asyncValidator.validateAsync();
+```
+
+### Configurable Security Settings
+
+```javascript
+const validator = new BaseValidator(value)
+  .setRegexTimeout(3000) // Set custom timeout (3 seconds)
+  .pattern(/your-pattern/, 'Error message');
+
+// The library automatically:
+// - Detects unsafe regex patterns
+// - Limits input length to prevent ReDoS
+// - Applies timeout protection for complex patterns
+// - Provides clear error messages for security violations
+```

+### Security Functions
+
+- `isRegexSafe(regex)` - Check if a regex pattern is safe to use
+- `safeRegexText(regex, str, timeoutMs)` - Execute regex with timeout protection
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Built-in Validators**: The predefined validators are optimized for security and performance
+2. **Validate Input Length**: Large inputs are automatically limited to prevent ReDoS attacks
+3. **Set Appropriate Timeouts**: Configure regex timeouts based on your application's needs
+4. **Test Custom Patterns**: Use `isRegexSafe()` to check custom regex patterns before deployment
+5. **Handle Async Errors**: Always use try-catch blocks with async validation
