Security Features Implemented

1. Token Generation

• Cryptographically secure: 64-byte random tokens using RandomNumberGenerator
• URL-safe: Base64-encoded strings
• Collision-resistant: 2^512 possible tokens

2. Token Storage

• SHA-256 hashing: Tokens hashed before storage
• Never stores plain text: Database only stores hashes
• Plain text returned once: Only returned to client at generation

3. Token Rotation

• One-time use: Each refresh token can only be used once
• Automatic rotation: Using a refresh token generates new access token + new refresh token
• Old token invalidated: Marked as "replaced" immediately

4. Token Reuse Detection

• Security alert: If a revoked token is reused, log security alert
• Revoke entire family: Revoke all tokens for that user (assume token theft)

5. Audit Tracking

• IP address: Client IP logged for each token
• User-Agent: Browser/device info logged
• Timestamps: Created, revoked, last used timestamps
• Revocation reason: Logged for debugging and security audit

6. Expiration

• Access Token: 15 minutes (configurable)
• Refresh Token: 7 days (configurable)
• Automatic cleanup: Expired tokens can be deleted by scheduled job (future)

Testing Guide

Prerequisites

1. Ensure PostgreSQL is running
2. Database migration has been applied: dotnet ef database update --context IdentityDbContext

Manual Testing

Step 1: Start API

cd c:\Users\yaoji\git\ColaCoder\product-master\colaflow-api
dotnet run --project src/ColaFlow.API

Step 2: Register Tenant (Get Refresh Token)

$body = @{
    tenantName = "Test Corp"
    tenantSlug = "test-corp"
    subscriptionPlan = "Professional"
    adminEmail = "admin@testcorp.com"
    adminPassword = "Admin@1234"
    adminFullName = "Test Admin"
} | ConvertTo-Json

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/tenants/register" `
    -Method Post `
    -ContentType "application/json" `
    -Body $body

$accessToken = $response.accessToken
$refreshToken = $response.refreshToken

Write-Host "Access Token: $accessToken"
Write-Host "Refresh Token: $refreshToken"

Expected Result: Returns both accessToken and refreshToken

---

Step 3: Login (Get Refresh Token)

$loginBody = @{
    tenantSlug = "test-corp"
    email = "admin@testcorp.com"
    password = "Admin@1234"
} | ConvertTo-Json

$loginResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/login" `
    -Method Post `
    -ContentType "application/json" `
    -Body $loginBody

$accessToken = $loginResponse.accessToken
$refreshToken = $loginResponse.refreshToken

Write-Host "Access Token: $accessToken"
Write-Host "Refresh Token: $refreshToken"

Expected Result: Returns both accessToken and refreshToken

---

Step 4: Refresh Access Token

$refreshBody = @{
    refreshToken = $refreshToken
} | ConvertTo-Json

$refreshResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/refresh" `
    -Method Post `
    -ContentType "application/json" `
    -Body $refreshBody

$newAccessToken = $refreshResponse.accessToken
$newRefreshToken = $refreshResponse.refreshToken

Write-Host "New Access Token: $newAccessToken"
Write-Host "New Refresh Token: $newRefreshToken"

Expected Result:

• Returns new accessToken and new refreshToken
• Old refresh token is invalidated

---

Step 5: Try Using Old Refresh Token (Should Fail)

$oldRefreshBody = @{
    refreshToken = $refreshToken  # Old token
} | ConvertTo-Json

try {
    Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/refresh" `
        -Method Post `
        -ContentType "application/json" `
        -Body $oldRefreshBody
} catch {
    Write-Host "Correctly rejected: $($_.Exception.Response.StatusCode)"
}

Expected Result: 401 Unauthorized (old token is revoked)

---

Step 6: Logout (Revoke Current Token)

$logoutBody = @{
    refreshToken = $newRefreshToken
} | ConvertTo-Json

$logoutResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/logout" `
    -Method Post `
    -ContentType "application/json" `
    -Body $logoutBody

Write-Host $logoutResponse.message

Expected Result: "Logged out successfully"

---

Step 7: Logout from All Devices

$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = "Bearer $newAccessToken"
}

$logoutAllResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:5167/api/auth/logout-all" `
    -Method Post `
    -Headers $headers

Write-Host $logoutAllResponse.message

Expected Result: "Logged out from all devices successfully"

   • Add authorization policies
   • Protect endpoints with [Authorize(Roles = "...")]

Short-term (Day 6)

2. Email Verification Flow:

   • Email verification tokens
   • SendGrid integration
   • Verification email templates

3. Password Reset Flow:

   • Password reset tokens
   • Email-based reset flow

Medium-term (Day 7-10)

4. MCP Integration Preparation:
   • API key generation for AI agents
   • MCP-specific roles and permissions
   • Preview/approval workflow for AI write operations

---

Performance Considerations

Database Performance

• Token lookup: < 10ms (indexed on token_hash)
• User token lookup: < 15ms (indexed on user_id)
• Token refresh: < 200ms (lookup + insert + update + JWT generation)

Scalability

• Current implementation: PostgreSQL (sufficient for 10K-100K users)
• Future optimization: Redis for token storage (when scaling beyond 100K users)

---

Security Best Practices Implemented

1. ✅ Never store plain text tokens: Only SHA-256 hashes stored
2. ✅ Cryptographically secure random generation: RandomNumberGenerator
3. ✅ Token rotation: Old token invalidated on refresh
4. ✅ Token reuse detection: Revokes all user tokens on suspicious activity
5. ✅ IP address and User-Agent logging: Audit trail for security
6. ✅ Short-lived access tokens: 15 minutes (reduces attack window)
7. ✅ Configurable expiration: Easy to adjust for production
8. ✅ Unique indexes: Prevents duplicate tokens

---

Known Limitations & Future Enhancements

Current Limitations

• No scheduled job for automatic cleanup of expired tokens (future)
• No rate limiting on refresh endpoint (future)
• No device management UI (future)
• No multi-device session tracking UI (future)

Future Enhancements (M2-M4)

1. Scheduled Cleanup Job: Delete expired tokens older than 30 days
2. Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse of refresh endpoint (max 10 requests/minute)
3. Device Management: User can view and revoke tokens per device
4. Session Analytics: Track active sessions, login history
5. Redis Migration: For high-traffic scenarios (100K+ users)
6. Suspicious Activity Detection: Multiple IPs, unusual locations, etc.

---

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Invalid refresh token"

Cause: Token not found in database or already revoked Solution: Login again to get a new refresh token

Issue: Token reused (all tokens revoked)

Cause: Security alert - old token was reused Solution: This is intentional security behavior. User must login again.

Issue: Refresh token expired

Cause: Token older than 7 days Solution: User must login again

Issue: "User not found or inactive"

Cause: User account suspended or deleted Solution: Contact admin or re-register

---
