Authentication & User Management
The authentication and user management system provides secure, flexible access control for all platform users.
Authentication Methods
Email & Password Authentication
The platform implements a secure JWT-based authentication system for traditional email and password login:
- Secure password hashing using bcrypt
- JWT token generation with 60-minute expiry
- Refresh token rotation for enhanced security
- Account lockout protection against brute force attacks
Wallet Integration
For blockchain interactions, the platform supports wallet-based authentication:
- MetaMask wallet integration
- thirdweb integration for MPC wallets and blockchain connectivity
- Signature-based authentication
- Wallet address verification and binding
- Support for multiple connected wallets per user
Enterprise Authentication
For organization deployments, the platform supports:
- Custom JWT authentication for enterprise integrations
- SAML authentication capability
- Single sign-on (SSO) options
- Role mapping from external identity providers
Session Management
The platform implements robust session management:
- Automatic token refresh mechanism
- Configurable session timeouts
- Multi-device session tracking
- Forced logout capability for security incidents
User Profile Management
Users can manage their personal information through:
- Editable profile information
- Contact details management
- Notification preferences
- Connected accounts management
Security Features
Authentication security is enhanced with:
- Two-factor authentication support
- IP-based login restrictions
- Login attempt monitoring
- Secure password reset workflow
- Email verification requirements
Technical Implementation
The authentication system is built on modern security principles:
- Stateless authentication using JWT
- Token encryption using industry-standard algorithms
- HTTPS-only cookie storage options
- CSRF protection mechanisms
- XSS prevention through proper token handling
Integration Points
The authentication system integrates with other platform components:
- Role-based access control system
- Audit logging for security events
- Identity verification providers
- Notification system for security alerts
