-//! Auth Module - Placeholder
+//! Auth Module - mTLS and IP Whitelist Enforcement
 //!
-//! Implementation in future phases
+//! This module provides security authentication and authorization:
+//! - mTLS (Mutual TLS) certificate-based authentication
+//! - IP whitelist enforcement with CIDR subnet support
+//! - Silent drop for non-compliant connections
+//! - Comprehensive audit logging
