Security Framework and Threat Mitigation for Zenon Unikernel

As an engineer, I need to define a robust security framework and establish protocols for threat mitigation to maintain the integrity and reliability of the Zenon Unikernel, accommodating both Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanisms, as well as efficient networking within a unikernel environment.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] The security framework supports both PoW and PoS consensus mechanisms.
• [ ] Networking capabilities conform to predefined security protocols to prevent common network-based attacks.
• [ ] Resource usage is optimized for performance and efficiency in a unikernel environment.
• [ ] The framework includes protection against Denial of Service (DoS), Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and other common threats.
• [ ] Access controls and authentication mechanisms are established to secure system interfaces.
• [ ] Regular security audits are scheduled to identify and mitigate new vulnerabilities.
• [ ] Incident response processes are established to swiftly handle security breaches.
• [ ] Detailed documentation is provided for system integrators and administrators.
