Security Model

TODO: Write content for this page.

Explain the IC security model from a developer perspective. Cover canister isolation (each canister runs in its own sandbox), trust boundaries (what you trust the IC to do vs what your code must handle), certified variables and response verification, the role of boundary nodes in security, and the threat model for dapp developers (what attacks are possible, what the IC protects against). Link to the security guides for actionable hardening steps.
