- # Authentication & Authorization — Identity Mastery
11
-
12
- ---
13
-
14
- ## Passwords & Hashing
15
-
16
- ```typescript
17
- // ❌ BAD: md5, sha1, sha256 (too fast, vulnerable to brute force/rainbow tables)
18
- const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(password).digest('hex');
19
-
20
- // ✅ GOOD: Argon2 (memory-hard, ASIC resistant) or bcrypt
21
- import * as argon2 from "argon2";
22
-
23
- async function hashPassword(password: string): Promise<string> {
24
- // Argon2 hashes include the salt inherently in the resulting string
25
- return await argon2.hash(password, {
26
- type: argon2.argon2id, // recommended variant
27
- memoryCost: 2 ** 16, // 64 MB
28
- timeCost: 3, // iterations
29
- parallelism: 1, // threads
30
- });
31
- }
32
-
33
- async function verifyPassword(hash: string, password: string): Promise<boolean> {
34
- return await argon2.verify(hash, password);
35
- }
36
- ```
37
-
38
- ### Password Policies
39
- - **Length over complexity**: Require minimum 12 characters. Stop requiring arbitrary symbols (e.g., `!@#`).
40
- - **Check against breaches**: Use HaveIBeenPwned API or similar to reject compromised passwords during signup.
41
- - **Never expire passwords arbitrarily**: Only force resets if there is evidence of a breach.
42
-
43
- ---
44
-
45
- ## Session Management vs. JWT
46
-
47
- ### 1. Stateful Sessions (Cookies)
48
- **Best for**: Monolithic web apps, SSR apps (Next.js, Remix).
49
- - Server stores session ID mapped to user data in Redis/DB.
50
- - Client stores session ID in an `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Lax/Strict` cookie.
51
- - **Pros**: Immediate revocation, server-side truth, invisible to XSS.
52
- - **Cons**: Requires DB lookup per request.
53
-
54
- ### 2. Stateless JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
55
- **Best for**: Distributed APIs, Microservices, Native mobile apps.
56
- - Server signs a token containing user claims.
57
- - Client passes it in `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
58
- - **Pros**: No DB lookup needed, easy cross-origin sharing.
59
- - **Cons**: Cannot be easily revoked before expiration.
60
-
61
- ### The JWT "Refresh Token" Pattern
62
- ```typescript
63
- // Scenario: API authentication
64
- // 1. Access Token (Short-lived: 15 mins)
65
- const accessToken = jwt.sign({ userId: user.id }, JWT_SECRET, {
66
- expiresIn: "15m",
67
- algorithm: "HS256" // ALWAYS explicitly specify
68
- });
69
- // 2. Refresh Token (Long-lived: 7 days, opaque string in DB)
70
- const refreshToken = crypto.randomBytes(40).toString('hex');
71
- await db.refreshTokens.create({ token: refreshToken, userId: user.id, expires: addDays(7) });
72
-
73
- // Client flow:
74
- // - Access token kept in memory (JS variable) to prevent XSS theft.
75
- // - Refresh token kept in HttpOnly cookie.
76
- // - When Access Token expires, endpoint reads cookie, validates DB, issues new Access Token.
77
- ```
78

-
81
- ## OAuth2 & OIDC (OpenID Connect)
82
-
83
- ```
84
- Roles:
85
- 1. Resource Owner (User)
86
- 2. Client (Your App)
87
- 3. Authorization Server (Google/GitHub/Auth0)
88
- 4. Resource Server (API)
89
-
90
- Flow (Authorization Code + PKCE):
91
- 1. User clicks "Login with Google".
92
- 2. App generates `code_verifier` and `code_challenge`.
93
- 3. App redirects user to Google with `code_challenge`.
94
- 4. User logs in, Google redirects back to App with an authorization `code`.
95
- 5. App sends `code` + `code_verifier` to Google backend.
96
- 6. Google returns `id_token` (OIDC identity) and `access_token` (OAuth permissions).
97
-
98
- // ❌ HALLUCINATION TRAP: Implicit Flow is deprecated.
99
- // Never use Implicit Flow (response_type=token) where the token is returned in the URL hash.
100
- // Always use Authorization Code Flow with PKCE, even for Single Page Apps (SPAs).
101
- ```
102
-
103

104
-
105
- ## Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
106
-
107
- - **SMS**: Deprecated by NIST due to SIM swapping vulnerabilities. (Better than nothing, but avoid as primary MFA).
108
- - **TOTP (Authenticator Apps)**: Standard implementations use HMAC-SHA1. Keep the secret key heavily encrypted at rest.
109
- - **WebAuthn / Passkeys**: The modern gold standard. Replaces passwords entirely using hardware enclaves (FaceID, TouchID, YubiKey).
110
-
111
- ---
112
-
113
- ## Authorization Models
114
-
115
- ### RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)
116
- - Users have Roles (`admin`, `editor`, `viewer`).
117
- - Roles have Permissions (`create:post`, `delete:user`).
118
-
119
- ```typescript

16
+
17
+ ## Passwords & Hashing
18
+
19
+ ```typescript
20
+ // ❌ BAD: md5, sha1, sha256 (too fast, vulnerable to brute force/rainbow tables)
21
+ const hash = crypto.createHash("sha256").update(password).digest("hex");
22
+
23
+ // ✅ GOOD: Argon2 (memory-hard, ASIC resistant) or bcrypt
24
+ import * as argon2 from "argon2";
25
+
26
+ async function hashPassword(password: string): Promise<string> {
27
+ // Argon2 hashes include the salt inherently in the resulting string
28
+ return await argon2.hash(password, {
29
+ type: argon2.argon2id, // recommended variant
30
+ memoryCost: 2 ** 16, // 64 MB
31
+ timeCost: 3, // iterations
32
+ parallelism: 1, // threads
33
+ });
34
+ }
35
+
36
+ async function verifyPassword(hash: string, password: string): Promise<boolean> {
37
+ return await argon2.verify(hash, password);
38
+ }
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ ### Password Policies
190
42
 
43
+ - **Length over complexity**: Require minimum 12 characters. Stop requiring arbitrary symbols (e.g., `!@#`).
44
+ - **Check against breaches**: Use HaveIBeenPwned API or similar to reject compromised passwords during signup.
45
+ - **Never expire passwords arbitrarily**: Only force resets if there is evidence of a breach.
46
+
47
+ ---
48
+
49
+ ## Session Management vs. JWT
50
+
51
+ ### 1. Stateful Sessions (Cookies)
52
+
53
+ **Best for**: Monolithic web apps, SSR apps (Next.js, Remix).
54
+
55
+ - Server stores session ID mapped to user data in Redis/DB.
56
+ - Client stores session ID in an `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Lax/Strict` cookie.
57
+ - **Pros**: Immediate revocation, server-side truth, invisible to XSS.
58
+ - **Cons**: Requires DB lookup per request.
59
+
60
+ ### 2. Stateless JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
61
+
62
+ **Best for**: Distributed APIs, Microservices, Native mobile apps.
63
+
64
+ - Server signs a token containing user claims.
65
+ - Client passes it in `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
66
+ - **Pros**: No DB lookup needed, easy cross-origin sharing.
67
+ - **Cons**: Cannot be easily revoked before expiration.
68
+
69
+ ### The JWT "Refresh Token" Pattern
70
+
71
+ ```typescript
72
+ // Scenario: API authentication
73
+ // 1. Access Token (Short-lived: 15 mins)
74
+ const accessToken = jwt.sign({ userId: user.id }, JWT_SECRET, {
75
+ expiresIn: "15m",
76
+ algorithm: "HS256", // ALWAYS explicitly specify
77
+ });
78
+ // 2. Refresh Token (Long-lived: 7 days, opaque string in DB)
79
+ const refreshToken = crypto.randomBytes(40).toString("hex");
80
+ await db.refreshTokens.create({ token: refreshToken, userId: user.id, expires: addDays(7) });
81
+
82
+ // Client flow:
83
+ // - Access token kept in memory (JS variable) to prevent XSS theft.
84
+ // - Refresh token kept in HttpOnly cookie.
85
+ // - When Access Token expires, endpoint reads cookie, validates DB, issues new Access Token.
86
+ ```
87
+
88
+ ---
89
+
90
+ ## OAuth2 & OIDC (OpenID Connect)
91
+
92
+ ```
93
+ Roles:
94
+ 1. Resource Owner (User)
95
+ 2. Client (Your App)
96
+ 3. Authorization Server (Google/GitHub/Auth0)
97
+ 4. Resource Server (API)
98
+
99
+ Flow (Authorization Code + PKCE):
100
+ 1. User clicks "Login with Google".
101
+ 2. App generates `code_verifier` and `code_challenge`.
102
+ 3. App redirects user to Google with `code_challenge`.
103
+ 4. User logs in, Google redirects back to App with an authorization `code`.
104
+ 5. App sends `code` + `code_verifier` to Google backend.
105
+ 6. Google returns `id_token` (OIDC identity) and `access_token` (OAuth permissions).
106
+
107
+ // ❌ HALLUCINATION TRAP: Implicit Flow is deprecated.
108
+ // Never use Implicit Flow (response_type=token) where the token is returned in the URL hash.
109
+ // Always use Authorization Code Flow with PKCE, even for Single Page Apps (SPAs).
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ ---
113
+
114
+ ## Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
115
+
116
+ - **SMS**: Deprecated by NIST due to SIM swapping vulnerabilities. (Better than nothing, but avoid as primary MFA).
117
+ - **TOTP (Authenticator Apps)**: Standard implementations use HMAC-SHA1. Keep the secret key heavily encrypted at rest.
118
+ - **WebAuthn / Passkeys**: The modern gold standard. Replaces passwords entirely using hardware enclaves (FaceID, TouchID, YubiKey).
119
+
120
+ ---
121
+
122
+ ## Authorization Models
123
+
124
+ ### RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)
125
+
126
+ - Users have Roles (`admin`, `editor`, `viewer`).
127
+ - Roles have Permissions (`create:post`, `delete:user`).
128
+
129
+ ```typescript
130
+ // ✅ Check permissions, not roles directly (more flexible)
131
+ if (!user.permissions.includes("delete:user")) {
132
+ throw new ForbiddenError();
133
+ }
134
+ ```
135
+
136
+ ### ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control)
137
+
138
+ - Access based on context (e.g., "User can edit Document if Document.department == User.department").
139
+
140
+ ```typescript
141
+ // Example Policy
142
+ function canEditPost(user: User, post: Post): boolean {
143
+ if (user.role === "admin") return true;
144
+ if (post.authorId === user.id) return true;
145
+ if (post.status === "draft" && user.department === "content") return true;
146
+ return false;
147

25

22
- - **Authentication**: Validate the session ID/token at the very top of *every* Server Action.
27
+
28
+ - **Authentication**: Validate the session ID/token at the very top of _every_ Server Action.
23
29
  - **Input Validation**: Parse all inputs using Zod. Do not trust TypeScript types, as they do not exist at runtime.
24
30
  - **Rate Limiting**: Apply `@upstash/ratelimit` or similar to prevent brute force and abuse on public-facing actions.
25
31
 
26
32
  ## 2. Authentication & Authorization (RBAC)
33
+
27
34
  - **Role-Based Access**: Check if the authenticated user has permission to perform the specific action, not just if they are logged in.
28
35
  - **IDOR Prevention**: Always verify that the resource being modified belongs to the user requesting the modification (e.g., `WHERE userId = session.userId`).
29
36
  - **Secrets Management**: Never hardcode API keys. Ensure they are loaded from `.env` and fail loudly if missing.
30
37
 
31
38
  ## 3. Database & ORM Security
39
+
32
40
  - **NoSQL/ORM Injection**: Avoid passing raw JSON or objects directly into query constraints (e.g., MongoDB `$where` or Prisma raw queries).
33
41
  - **Mass Assignment**: Never destructure user input directly into a database create/update call. Explicitly pick the fields allowed to be updated.
34
42
  - **Query Depth**: For GraphQL backends, always implement depth limiting and cost analysis to prevent query-based DDoS.
35
43
 
36
44
  ## 4. Headers & Server Hardening
45
+
37
46
  - **CORS**: Never use wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` for authenticated routes.
38
47
  - **Security Headers**: Ensure Helmet (or equivalent Next.js headers config) is active for HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Type-Options.
