 ```
 
 
+## Security
+
+This image attempts to build a secure NGINX Docker image.
+
+It does so by the following ways:
+
+- downloading and verifying the source code of NGINX and every library it is built with,
+- packaging the image with only those files required during runtime (see [Filesystem](#Filesystem)),
+- by enforcing a series of exploit mitigations (PIE, full RELRO, full SSP, NX and Fortify)
+
+### Verifying the presence of exploit mitigations
+
+To check whether a binary in a Docker image has those mitigations enabled, use [tests/checksec.sh](https://github.com/ricardbejarano/nginx/blob/master/tests/checksec.sh).
+
+#### Usage
+
+```
+usage: checksec.sh docker_image executable_path
+
+Docker-based wrapper for checksec.sh.
+Requires a running Docker daemon.
+
+Example:
+
+  $ checksec.sh ricardbejarano/nginx:glibc /nginx
+
+  Extracts the '/nginx' binary from the 'ricardbejarano/nginx:glibc' image,
+  downloads checksec (github.com/slimm609/checksec.sh) and runs it on the
+  binary.
+  Everything runs inside Docker containers.
+```
+
+#### Example:
+
+Testing the `/nginx` binary in `ricardbejarano/nginx:glibc`:
+
+```
+$ bash tests/checksec.sh ricardbejarano/nginx:glibc /nginx
+Downloading ricardbejarano/nginx:glibc...Done!
+Extracting ricardbejarano/nginx:glibc:/nginx...Done!
+Downloading checksec.sh...Done!
+Running checksec.sh:
+RELRO        STACK CANARY   NX           PIE           RPATH      RUNPATH      Symbols         FORTIFY   Fortified   Fortifiable   FILE
+Full RELRO   Canary found   NX enabled   PIE enabled   No RPATH   No RUNPATH   11563 Symbols   Yes       0           34            /tmp/.checksec-ui8eKi3Q
+Cleaning up...Done!
+```
+
+This wrapper script works with any binary in a Docker image. Feel free to use it with any other image.
+
+Other examples:
+
+- `bash tests/checksec.sh debian /bin/bash`
+- `bash tests/checksec.sh alpine /bin/sh`
+- `bash tests/checksec.sh nginx /usr/sbin/nginx`
