Industry-leading elliptic curve cryptography for JWT token signing with 128-bit security level.

  • Fast signature generation (~64,000 signatures/second)
  • Small signature size (64 bytes)
  • Deterministic signing (no random number generation)
  • Side-channel attack resistant
  • Future-proof against quantum computers
    • 🛡️

    Argon2id Password Hashing

    Winner of the Password Hashing Competition, providing maximum resistance against all attack vectors.

  • Memory-hard function (65536 KB default)
  • Time cost: 3 iterations
  • Parallelism: 4 threads
  • Salt: 32 bytes random
  • Resistant to GPU/ASIC attacks
    • 🔒

    TLS 1.3 Transport Security

    Latest transport layer security with perfect forward secrecy and minimal attack surface.

  • ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suite
  • AES-256-GCM as fallback
  • ECDH key exchange with P-256
  • Certificate transparency support
  • HSTS with includeSubDomains

    • Zero-Trust Architecture

    Authentication Pipeline

    1. Request Validation
      Schema validation, rate limiting, origin verification
    2. Identity Verification
      Credentials, MFA, device trust, risk assessment
    3. Authorization Check
      Scopes, permissions, policies, resource access
    4. Token Generation
      Ed25519 signing, claims validation, expiry setting
    5. Session Creation
      Secure storage, expiry management, device tracking
    6. Audit Logging
      Event correlation, anomaly detection, compliance

    Security Principles

    🚫 Never Trust

    Every request is verified regardless of source, location, or previous authentication state.

    ✅ Always Verify

    Multi-factor verification with device trust, geolocation, and behavioral analysis.

    🎯 Least Privilege

    Minimum necessary access granted, with time-bound permissions and automatic expiry.

    📊 Continuous Monitoring

    Real-time security monitoring with anomaly detection and automated response.
