+## Security & Access Control (v3.0)
+
+### API Key Authentication
+SHA-256 hashed keys stored server-side. HTTP transport uses `Authorization: Bearer <key>` headers. MCP transport authenticates via the `SPECLOCK_API_KEY` environment variable. Keys are never stored in plaintext.
+
+### RBAC (4 Roles)
+| Role | Permissions |
+|------|-------------|
+| **viewer** | Read-only access to context, locks, decisions, and events |
+| **developer** | Read + override locks with a documented reason |
+| **architect** | Read + write (add/remove locks, decisions) + override |
+| **admin** | Full access — manage keys, roles, enforcement settings, and all operations |
+
+### AES-256-GCM Encryption
+Transparent encrypt-on-write / decrypt-on-read for `brain.json` and `events.log`. Encryption key is derived via PBKDF2 from the `SPECLOCK_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable. Authenticated encryption (GCM) ensures both confidentiality and integrity. **HIPAA 2026 compliant.**
+
+### Test Coverage
+**300 tests passing** (up from 186 in v2.5). Full coverage for authentication, authorization, encryption, semantic detection, and audit chain integrity.
