Security Architecture

The system implements multiple security layers:

  • Hardware Security: Keys stored in Secure Enclave (iOS) or Hardware Security Module (Android)
  • Cryptographic Security: ES256, RS256, PS256 signature algorithms
  • Field-Level Encryption: AES-256-GCM for sensitive data storage
  • Token Security: Device binding and time-limited validity
  • Audit Trail: Comprehensive logging for compliance

    encryptionSvc   *FieldEncryption
    auditSvc        *AuditService
    validationSvc   *ValidationService

FieldEncryption Service

Provides AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive database fields:

type FieldEncryption struct {
    key []byte
}

func (f *FieldEncryption) Encrypt(plaintext []byte, additionalData string) (*EncryptedField, error) {
    cipher, _ := aes.NewCipher(f.key)
    gcm, _ := cipher.NewGCM()
    
    nonce := make([]byte, gcm.NonceSize())
    rand.Read(nonce)
    
    ciphertext := gcm.Seal(nil, nonce, plaintext, []byte(additionalData))
    
    return &EncryptedField{
        Ciphertext: ciphertext,
        Nonce:      nonce,
        AAD:        additionalData,
    }, nil
}

func (f *FieldEncryption) Decrypt(field *EncryptedField) ([]byte, error) {
    cipher, _ := aes.NewCipher(f.key)
    gcm, _ := cipher.NewGCM()
    
    return gcm.Open(nil, field.Nonce, field.Ciphertext, []byte(field.AAD))
}

AuditService

type AuditService struct {
    db *sql.DB
}

type AuditEvent struct {

    ErrorMsg    *string               `json:"error_message"`
    Details     map[string]interface{} `json:"details"`
}

func (a *AuditService) LogEvent(ctx context.Context, event *AuditEvent) error

ValidationService

Input validation with security-focused patterns:

type ValidationService struct {}

func (v *ValidationService) ValidateDeviceName(name string) error {
    if len(name) == 0 || len(name) > 255 {
        return errors.New("device name must be 1-255 characters")
    }
    
    // Allow alphanumeric, spaces, hyphens, apostrophes only
    matched, _ := regexp.MatchString(`^[a-zA-Z0-9\s\-']+

Token Differentiation

The system implements three distinct JWT token types:

1. Biometric Access Tokens

  • Lifetime: 15 minutes
  • Purpose: Mobile app authentication with biometric verification
  • Claims: Include device_id, auth_method, trust_level, session_id
  • Security: Device binding prevents cross-device usage

2. Biometric Refresh Tokens

  • Lifetime: 30 days
  • Purpose: Long-term session management with secure rotation
  • Claims: Include token_family, rotation_count for security
  • Security: Family-based rotation prevents token theft

3. Action Confirmation Tokens

  • Lifetime: 5 minutes, single-use
  • Purpose: Confirm sensitive actions via biometric verification
  • Claims: Include confirmation_id, action_type, nonce
  • Security: Single-use enforcement with replay protection

Trust Level Determination

  • High: Strong key algorithm (ES256/PS256) + Mobile device + Recent usage
  • Medium: Good key algorithm (RS256) + Any device type + Moderate usage
  • Low: Basic algorithm + Desktop device + Infrequent usage

Token Security Features

Device Binding

All biometric tokens are bound to specific devices and cannot be used from other devices.

Family-based Rotation

Refresh tokens use hierarchical families with rotation counters to prevent token theft and enable secure renewal.

Single-use Enforcement

Action confirmation tokens can only be used once and include cryptographic nonces to prevent replay attacks.

Push Notifications

Firebase FCM Integration

The system integrates with Firebase Cloud Messaging for real-time push notifications:

type NotificationService struct {
    fcmClient *messaging.Client
    db        *sql.DB
}

func (n *NotificationService) SendConfirmationNotification(ctx context.Context, userID int64, confirmationID string, actionType string, actionPayload map[string]interface{}) error {
    // Find user's devices with FCM tokens
    devices, err := n.getUserDevicesWithFCM(ctx, userID)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    // Create notification content
    notification := n.createNotificationContent(actionType, actionPayload)
    
    // Send to all devices
    for _, device := range devices {
        message := &messaging.Message{
            Token: device.FCMToken,
            Notification: notification,
            Data: map[string]string{
                "type":           "confirmation_request",
                "confirmationId": confirmationID,
                "actionType":     actionType,
            },
        }
        
        response, err := n.fcmClient.Send(ctx, message)
        if err != nil {
            n.logFailedNotification(ctx, device.ID, err)
        } else {
            n.logSuccessfulNotification(ctx, device.ID, response.Name)
        }
    }
    
    return nil
}

Notification Templates

The system supports various notification types:

  • Payment Approval: "Approve payment of {amount} {currency}"
  • Document Approval: "Approve document: {documentName}"
  • Purchase Order: "Approve purchase order from {supplier} ({amount} VND)"
  • User Access: "Approve access for user: {username}"

Platform-specific Configuration

iOS (APNS)

  • Category: BIOMETRIC_CONFIRMATION
  • Action: CONFIRM_ACTION
  • Sound: default

Android

  • Icon: ic_notification
  • Color: #2196F3

Usage Examples

Mobile Device Registration

// 1. Generate key pair on mobile device (iOS/Android)
keyPair := generateBiometricKeyPair()

// 2. Request registration challenge
challengeReq := &DeviceRegistrationRequest{
    DeviceName:        "John's iPhone 15",
    DeviceType:        "mobile",
    DeviceFingerprint: createDeviceFingerprint(),
    PublicKey:         keyPair.PublicKey,
    KeyAlgorithm:      "ES256",
}
challenge, err := biometricService.CreateRegistrationChallenge(ctx, challengeReq)

// 3. Sign challenge with biometric authentication
signature := signChallengeWithBiometric(challenge.Challenge)

// 4. Complete registration
verifyReq := &VerificationRequest{
    SessionID:       challenge.SessionID,
    SignedChallenge: signature,
}
device, err := biometricService.VerifyDeviceRegistration(ctx, verifyReq)

Biometric Login Flow

// 1. Request login challenge
challenge, err := biometricService.CreateAuthChallenge(ctx, deviceFingerprint)

// 2. Sign challenge with biometric
signature := signChallengeWithBiometric(challenge.Challenge)

// 3. Complete login
loginReq := &LoginRequest{
    SessionID:       challenge.SessionID,
    SignedChallenge: signature,
    RememberMe:      true,
}
tokens, err := biometricService.VerifyBiometricLogin(ctx, loginReq)

Action Confirmation Flow

// 1. Web user initiates sensitive action
confirmationReq := &ConfirmationRequest{
    UserID:        userID,
    ActionType:    "payment_approval",
    ActionPayload: map[string]interface{}{
        "amount":   50000,
        "currency": "VND",
        "recipient": "Nguyen Van A",
    },
}
confirmation, err := biometricService.InitiateConfirmation(ctx, confirmationReq)

// 2. Push notification sent to mobile devices automatically

// 3. Mobile user verifies with biometric
verifyReq := &VerificationRequest{
    DeviceID:        deviceID,
    SignedChallenge: signature,
}
err := biometricService.VerifyConfirmation(ctx, confirmation.ID, verifyReq)

Token Refresh with Rotation

// Refresh biometric tokens
refreshReq := &RefreshRequest{
    RefreshToken: existingRefreshToken,
}
newTokens, err := tokenService.RefreshBiometricTokens(ctx, refreshReq)

// Old refresh token family is automatically revoked
// New tokens have incremented rotation count
