How to use the source library
Primary documentation is the best starting point for protocol behavior, supported configuration, and project-specific security advice. Standards bodies help define general cryptographic and web-security concepts. Consumer-protection and government cybersecurity agencies provide practical guidance on fraud reporting and account protection. Independent research can add context, but its methods, date, funding, and limitations should be checked.

Source quality questions
Who published it? Is the author or institution accountable? Does it link to underlying evidence? Is the date appropriate for the claim? Can the statement be independently corroborated? Does the source distinguish observed facts from interpretation? A source can be reputable and still be irrelevant to a specific claim.
