+
+Added Content Security Policy (CSP) header generation functionality to `clerkMiddleware` with support for both standard and strict-dynamic modes. Key features:
+
+- Automatic generation of CSP headers with default security policies compatible with Clerk requirements
+- Support for both standard and strict-dynamic CSP modes
+- Automatic nonce generation for strict-dynamic mode
+- Ability to add custom directives to match project requirements
+
+Example
+
+```
+export default clerkMiddleware(
+  async (auth, request) => {
+    if (!isPublicRoute(request)) {
+      await auth.protect();
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    contentSecurityPolicy: {
+      mode: "strict-dynamic",
+      directives: {
+        "connect-src": ["external.api.com"],
+        "script-src": ["external.scripts.com"]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+);
+```
