# Athena Auth - Project Summary

## Overview

Successfully implemented a complete Rust-based authentication API using the athena_rs crate for database operations. The project provides a production-ready authentication system with JWT tokens and API key management.

## What Was Implemented

### Core Features

1. **Authentication System**
   - User registration with email and password
   - User login with JWT token generation
   - Token verification and validation
   - User profile retrieval

2. **API Key Management**
   - Create API keys with optional expiration
   - List all API keys for authenticated users
   - Revoke API keys
   - Secure storage with bcrypt hashing

3. **Security**
   - Password hashing using bcrypt
   - API key hashing using bcrypt
   - JWT token generation with 24-hour expiration
   - Required JWT_SECRET environment variable (no insecure defaults)
   - Authorization middleware for protected routes

### Technical Stack

- **Framework**: Axum 0.8.8
- **Database**: athena_rs 0.82.2 (supports PostgreSQL, Supabase, ScyllaDB)
- **Authentication**: JWT (jsonwebtoken 10.3.0)
- **Password Hashing**: bcrypt 0.18.0
- **Runtime**: Tokio 1.49.0 (async)
- **Serialization**: Serde + serde_json

### API Endpoints

#### Public Routes
- `POST /auth/register` - Register new user
- `POST /auth/login` - Login and get JWT token

#### Protected Routes (require JWT)
- `GET /auth/verify` - Verify JWT token
- `GET /auth/me` - Get current user info
- `POST /auth/api-keys` - Create new API key
- `GET /auth/api-keys` - List all API keys
- `DELETE /auth/api-keys/:id` - Revoke API key

```

### Database Schema

- **users** table: Stores user accounts
  - id (UUID, primary key)
  - email (unique)
  - password_hash
  - created_at

- **api_keys** table: Stores API keys
  - id (UUID, primary key)
  - user_id (foreign key to users)
  - key_hash (unique)
  - name
  - created_at
  - last_used_at
  - expires_at
  - is_active

### Documentation

1. **README.md** - Complete API documentation with:
   - Feature overview
   - API endpoint documentation
   - Setup instructions
   - Docker deployment guide
   - Example usage

2. **SECURITY.md** - Security documentation including:
   - Security features
   - Environment variable requirements
   - Security considerations
   - Production configuration checklist

3. **CONTRIBUTING.md** - Contribution guidelines with:
   - Development setup
   - Code style guidelines
   - Pull request process
   - Bug reporting guidelines

4. **CHANGELOG.md** - Version history

5. **examples/api_usage.sh** - Executable script demonstrating all API endpoints

### Deployment Options

1. **Docker Compose** (Recommended for development)
   ```bash
   docker-compose up --build
   ```

2. **Docker**
   ```bash
   docker build -t athena-auth .
   docker run -p 3000:3000 athena-auth
   ```

3. **Native**
   ```bash
   cargo build --release
   ./target/release/athena-auth
   ```

## Requirements Addressed

✅ Created a Rust authentication project called "athena-auth"
✅ Uses athena_rs crate for all database operations
✅ Implements standard authentication API routes (register, login, verify, etc.)
✅ API keys stored in the `api_keys` table (addresses "public or api_key" requirement)
✅ All sensitive data (passwords, API keys) properly hashed
✅ Production-ready with Docker support

## Security Features

- No hardcoded secrets (JWT_SECRET required as environment variable)
- Bcrypt password hashing with default cost (12)
- Bcrypt API key hashing
- JWT tokens with 24-hour expiration
- Authorization middleware on protected routes
- CORS middleware (configurable)
- Comprehensive security documentation

## Testing

The project structure is ready for testing. To add tests:
- Add unit tests in each module
- Add integration tests in `tests/` directory
- Run with `cargo test`

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements for future versions:
- Add comprehensive test suite
- Implement rate limiting
- Add refresh token support
- Add email verification
- Add password reset functionality
- Add 2FA/MFA support
- Add user roles and permissions
- Add API key usage tracking
- Add account lockout after failed attempts
- Add more detailed logging

## Conclusion

The project successfully implements a complete, production-ready authentication API using Rust, Axum, and athena_rs. All requirements from the problem statement have been addressed, and the codebase is well-documented, secure, and ready for deployment.
