LockLLM offers three flexible integration approaches:
| Method | Use Case | Code Changes |
|--------|----------|--------------|
| Wrapper Functions | Easiest - drop-in SDK replacement | Change 1 line |
| Direct Scan API | Manual control and custom workflows | Add scan call |
| Official SDKs | Maximum flexibility | Change baseURL only |

The fastest way to add security - simply replace your SDK initialization:
`typescript
import { createOpenAI } from '@lockllm/sdk/wrappers';
// Before:
// const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
// After:
const openai = createOpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY
});
// Everything else remains unchanged
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: userInput }]
});
`
Supported providers:
`typescript
import {
createOpenAI,
createAnthropic,
createGroq,
createDeepSeek,
createMistral,
createPerplexity,
createOpenRouter,
createAzure,
createBedrock,
createVertexAI,
// ... and 7 more
} from '@lockllm/sdk/wrappers';
`
$3
For custom workflows, manual validation, or multi-step security checks:
`typescript
import { LockLLM } from '@lockllm/sdk';
const lockllm = new LockLLM({
apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY
});
// Scan user input before processing
const result = await lockllm.scan({
input: userPrompt,
sensitivity: "medium" // or "low" | "high"
});
if (!result.safe) {
// Handle security incident
console.log("Injection detected:", result.injection);
console.log("Request ID:", result.request_id);
// Log to security system
// Alert monitoring
// Return error to user
return;
}
// Safe to proceed with LLM call
const response = await yourLLMCall(userPrompt);
`
$3
Use any provider's official SDK - just point it to LockLLM's proxy:
`typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { getProxyURL } from '@lockllm/sdk';
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.LOCKLLM_API_KEY,
baseURL: getProxyURL('openai')
});
// Works exactly like the official SDK
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
});

- Private cloud deployments
- Development and staging environments
Configure custom endpoints in the LockLLM dashboard when adding provider API keys.
How It Works
$3
LockLLM uses a secure BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model - you maintain control of your provider API keys while LockLLM handles security scanning:
Your Provider API Keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- Add once to the LockLLM dashboard
- Encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
- Never exposed in API responses, logs, or error messages
- Stored in secure, isolated infrastructure with access monitoring
- Can be rotated or revoked at any time
- Never include these in your application code
Your LockLLM API Key
- Use this single key in your SDK configuration
- Authenticates requests to the LockLLM security gateway
- Works across all 15+ providers with one key
- This is the only key that goes in your code
$3
Every request goes through LockLLM's security gateway before reaching your AI provider:
`
User Input
↓
Your Application
↓
LockLLM Security Gateway
↓
[Real-Time ML Scan - 100-200ms]
↓
├─ ✅ Safe Input → Forward to Provider → Return Response
└─ ⛔ Malicious Input → Block Request → Return 400 Error
`
For Safe Inputs (Normal Operation):
1. Scan - Request analyzed for threats using advanced ML models (~100-200ms)
2. Forward - Clean request forwarded to your configured provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
3. Response - Provider's response returned to your application unchanged
4. Metadata - Response headers include scan metadata (X-LockLLM-Safe: true, X-LockLLM-Request-ID)
For Malicious Inputs (Attack Blocked):
1. Detection - Threat detected during real-time ML analysis
2. Block - Request blocked immediately (never reaches your AI provider - saves you money!)
3. Error Response - Detailed error returned with threat classification and confidence scores
4. Logging - Incident automatically logged in dashboard for review and monitoring
$3
LockLLM is built with privacy and security as core principles. Your data stays yours.
Provider API Key Security:
- Encrypted at Rest - AES-256 encryption for all stored provider API keys
- Isolated Storage - Keys stored in secure, isolated infrastructure with strict access controls
- Never Exposed - Keys never appear in API responses, error messages, or logs
- Access Monitoring - All key access is logged and monitored for suspicious activity
- Easy Rotation - Rotate or revoke keys instantly from the dashboard
Data Privacy (Privacy by Default):
- Zero Storage - Prompts are never stored - only scanned in-memory and immediately discarded
- Metadata Only - Only non-sensitive metadata logged: timestamp, model, prompt length, scan results
- No Content Logging - Zero prompt content in logs, database, or any persistent storage
- Compliance Ready - GDPR and SOC 2 compliant architecture
- Full Transparency - Complete data processing transparency - you always know what we do with your data
Request Security:
- Modern Encryption - TLS 1.3 encryption for all API calls in transit
- Smart Retries - Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient failures
- Timeout Protection - Configurable request timeout protection to prevent hanging requests
- Rate Limiting - Per-account rate limiting to prevent abuse
- Audit Trails - Request ID tracking for complete audit trails and incident investigation

Performance
LockLLM adds minimal latency while providing comprehensive security protection. View detailed benchmarks
Latency Characteristics:
| Operation | Latency |
|-----------|---------|
| Security Scan | 100-200ms |
| Network Overhead | ~50ms |
| Total Added Latency | 150-250ms |
| Typical LLM Response | 1-10+ seconds |
| Impact | <3% overhead |
Why This Matters: The added latency is negligible compared to typical LLM response times (1-10+ seconds) and provides critical security protection for production applications. Most users won't notice the difference, but they will notice being protected from attacks.
Performance Optimizations:
- Intelligent Caching - Scan results cached for identical inputs to eliminate redundant processing
- Connection Pooling - Automatic connection pooling and keep-alive for reduced network overhead
- Concurrent Processing - Multiple requests handled in parallel without blocking
- Edge Deployment - Regional edge nodes for reduced latency (coming soon)
Rate Limits
LockLLM provides generous rate limits for all users, with the Free tier supporting most production use cases.
| Tier | Requests per Minute | Best For |
|------|---------------------|----------|
| Free | 1,000 RPM | Most applications, startups, side projects |
| Pro | 10,000 RPM | High-traffic applications, enterprise pilots |
| Enterprise | Custom | Large-scale deployments, custom SLAs |
Smart Rate Limit Handling:
- Automatic Retry Logic - Exponential backoff on 429 errors without manual intervention
- Header Respect - Follows Retry-After response header for optimal retry timing
- Configurable Retries - Adjust maxRetries parameter to match your application needs
- Clear Error Messages - Rate limit errors include retry timing and request IDs for debugging
