Update Code of Conduct and Security (#446)
This brings our code of conduct and security file in line with automated checks. The changes to `SECURITY.md` are mostly formatting, adding newlines so it line wraps at 80 lines and fixing a dead link. The `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` is a more substantial change. Rather than the being subject to both the contributor covenant and the Hyperledger CoC this change makes the project only subject to the Hyperledger CoC.

# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct |
||||
# Hyperledger Code of Conduct |
||||
|
||||
## Our Pledge |
||||
Hyperledger is a collaborative project at The Linux Foundation. It is an open-source and open |
||||
community project where participants choose to work together, and in that process experience |
||||
differences in language, location, nationality, and experience. In such a diverse environment, |
||||
misunderstandings and disagreements happen, which in most cases can be resolved informally. In rare |
||||
cases, however, behavior can intimidate, harass, or otherwise disrupt one or more people in the |
||||
community, which Hyperledger will not tolerate. |
||||
|
||||
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as |
||||
contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and |
||||
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body |
||||
size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, |
||||
level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal |
||||
appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. |
||||
A **Code of Conduct** is useful to define accepted and acceptable behaviors and to promote high |
||||
standards of professional practice. It also provides a benchmark for self evaluation and acts as a |
||||
vehicle for better identity of the organization. |
||||
|
||||
## Our Standards |
||||
This code (**CoC**) applies to any member of the Hyperledger community – developers, participants in |
||||
meetings, teleconferences, mailing lists, conferences or functions, etc. Note that this code |
||||
complements rather than replaces legal rights and obligations pertaining to any particular |
||||
situation. |
||||
|
||||
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment |
||||
include: |
||||
## Statement of Intent |
||||
|
||||
* Using welcoming and inclusive language |
||||
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences |
||||
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism |
||||
* Focusing on what is best for the community |
||||
* Showing empathy towards other community members |
||||
Hyperledger is committed to maintain a **positive** [work environment](#work-environment). This |
||||
commitment calls for a workplace where [participants](#participant) at all levels behave according |
||||
to the rules of the following code. A foundational concept of this code is that we all share |
||||
responsibility for our work environment. |
||||
|
||||
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: |
||||
## Code |
||||
|
||||
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or |
||||
advances |
||||
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks |
||||
* Public or private harassment |
||||
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic |
||||
address, without explicit permission |
||||
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a |
||||
professional setting |
||||
1. Treat each other with [respect](#respect), professionalism, fairness, and sensitivity to our many |
||||
differences and strengths, including in situations of high pressure and urgency. |
||||
|
||||
## Our Responsibilities |
||||
2. Never [harass](#harassment) or [bully](#workplace-bullying) anyone verbally, physically or |
||||
[sexually](#sexual-harassment). |
||||
|
||||
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable |
||||
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in |
||||
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior. |
||||
3. Never [discriminate](#discrimination) on the basis of personal characteristics or group |
||||
membership. |
||||
|
||||
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or |
||||
reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions |
||||
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or |
||||
permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, |
||||
threatening, offensive, or harmful. |
||||
4. Communicate constructively and avoid [demeaning](#demeaning-behavior) or |
||||
[insulting](#insulting-behavior) behavior or language. |
||||
|
||||
## Scope |
||||
5. Seek, accept, and offer objective work criticism, and [acknowledge](#acknowledgement) properly |
||||
the contributions of others. |
||||
|
||||
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces |
||||
when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of |
||||
representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail |
||||
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed |
||||
representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be |
||||
further defined and clarified by project maintainers. |
||||
6. Be honest about your own qualifications, and about any circumstances that might lead to conflicts |
||||
of interest. |
||||
|
||||
## Enforcement |
||||
7. Respect the privacy of others and the confidentiality of data you access. |
||||
|
||||
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be |
||||
reported by contacting the project team at [private@pegasys.tech]. All |
||||
complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that |
||||
is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is |
||||
obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. |
||||
Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately. |
||||
8. With respect to cultural differences, be conservative in what you do and liberal in what you |
||||
accept from others, but not to the point of accepting disrespectful, unprofessional or unfair or |
||||
[unwelcome behavior](#unwelcome-behavior) or [advances](#unwelcome-sexual-advance). |
||||
|
||||
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good |
||||
faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other |
||||
members of the project's leadership. |
||||
9. Promote the rules of this Code and take action (especially if you are in a |
||||
[leadership position](#leadership-position)) to bring the discussion back to a more civil level |
||||
whenever inappropriate behaviors are observed. |
||||
|
||||
## Attribution |
||||
10. Stay on topic: Make sure that you are posting to the correct channel and avoid off-topic |
||||
discussions. Remember when you update an issue or respond to an email you are potentially |
||||
sending to a large number of people. |
||||
|
||||
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant], version 1.4, |
||||
available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html |
||||
11. Step down considerately: Members of every project come and go, and the Hyperledger is no |
||||
different. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole or in part, we ask that you do |
||||
so in a way that minimizes disruption to the project. This means you should tell people you are |
||||
leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where you left off. |

||||
|
||||
### Respect |
||||
|
||||
is the genuine consideration you have for someone (if only because of their status as participant in |
||||
Hyperledger, like yourself), and that you show by treating them in a polite and kind way. |
||||
|
||||
### Sexual Harassment |
||||
|
||||
includes visual displays of degrading sexual images, sexually suggestive conduct, offensive remarks |
||||
of a sexual nature, requests for sexual favors, unwelcome physical contact, and sexual assault. |
||||
|
||||
### Unwelcome Behavior |
||||
|
||||
Hard to define? Some questions to ask yourself are: |
||||
|
||||
- how would I feel if I were in the position of the recipient? |
||||
- would my spouse, parent, child, sibling or friend like to be treated this way? |
||||
- would I like an account of my behavior published in the organization's newsletter? |
||||
- could my behavior offend or hurt other members of the work group? |
||||
- could someone misinterpret my behavior as intentionally harmful or harassing? |
||||
- would I treat my boss or a person I admire at work like that ? |
||||
- Summary: if you are unsure whether something might be welcome or unwelcome, don't do it. |
||||
|
||||
### Unwelcome Sexual Advance |
||||
|
||||
includes requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, where: |
||||
|
||||
- submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an |
||||
individual's employment, |
||||
- submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment |
||||
decisions affecting the individual, |
||||
- such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work |
||||
performance or creating an intimidating hostile or offensive working environment. |
||||
|
||||
### Workplace Bullying |
||||
|
||||
is a tendency of individuals or groups to use persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior (e.g. |
||||
verbal or written abuse, offensive conduct or any interference which undermines or impedes work) |
||||
against a co-worker or any professional relations. |
||||
|
||||
### Work Environment |
||||
|
||||
is the set of all available means of collaboration, including, but not limited to messages to |
||||
mailing lists, private correspondence, Web pages, chat channels, phone and video teleconferences, |
||||
and any kind of face-to-face meetings or discussions. |
||||
|
||||
