# Phase 3.3 Authentication & Authorization Services - IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE

## 🎯 **PROJECT STATUS**: **SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED** ✅

### **Implementation Overview**
Phase 3.3 Authentication & Authorization Services for KiviCare REST API Plugin has been **fully implemented** with all T030-T032 tasks completed according to healthcare compliance and 2024 security best practices.

---

## ✅ **COMPLETED TASKS**

### **T030: JWT Authentication Service** ✅
**File**: `src/includes/services/class-jwt-service.php`

**Implemented Features**:
- ✅ Firebase JWT library integration (`firebase/php-jwt: ^6.8`)
- ✅ Modern security practices (10-minute access tokens, 7-day refresh tokens)
- ✅ HS256/RS256 algorithm support with secure key management
- ✅ WordPress user integration with healthcare role awareness
- ✅ Token revocation capabilities with database tracking
- ✅ Session integration for comprehensive security monitoring
- ✅ IP binding for enhanced security (configurable)
- ✅ Healthcare-specific audit logging for compliance
- ✅ Comprehensive token validation with multiple security checks
- ✅ WordPress authentication hooks integration

**Security Enhancements**:
- 🔒 Cryptographically secure secret key generation (256-bit)
- 🔒 JWT unique identifiers (JTI) for token tracking and revocation
- 🔒 Token type validation (access/refresh)
- 🔒 Account status validation
- 🔒 Session validation integration
- 🔒 IP binding for access tokens (optional)
- 🔒 Comprehensive error handling with security-focused messages

### **T031: Role-Based Permission Service** ✅
**File**: `src/includes/services/class-permission-service.php`

**Healthcare Roles Implemented**:
- ✅ **Administrator**: Full system access and management
- ✅ **KiviCare Doctor**: Patient management, appointments, medical records
- ✅ **KiviCare Patient**: Own data access only (HIPAA compliance)
- ✅ **KiviCare Receptionist**: Clinic-specific patient and appointment management

**Permission Features**:
- ✅ Granular API endpoint permissions matrix
- ✅ Healthcare data access controls (PHI protection)
- ✅ Multi-clinic permission management
- ✅ Contextual permission checking (clinic access, patient access, appointment access)
- ✅ WordPress capability system integration
- ✅ Resource-specific permission validation
- ✅ Audit trail logging for permission checks

### **T032: User Session Management** ✅
**File**: `src/includes/services/class-session-service.php`

**Session Security Features**:
- ✅ Stateless session management via JWT integration
- ✅ Concurrent session limits (3 sessions per user)
- ✅ Session timeout management (30 minutes)
- ✅ Failed login attempt tracking (5 attempts, 15-minute lockout)
- ✅ Suspicious activity detection (IP changes, unusual patterns)
- ✅ Comprehensive session statistics and monitoring
- ✅ Healthcare-specific audit logging
- ✅ Database-backed session tracking with cleanup

**Security Monitoring**:
- ✅ Real-time session activity monitoring
- ✅ IP address change detection
- ✅ Account lockout mechanisms
- ✅ Security event logging
- ✅ Automated cleanup of expired sessions and logs

---

## 🛡️ **SECURITY COMPLIANCE ACHIEVED**

### **OWASP Top 10 Compliance**
- ✅ **A01 - Broken Access Control**: Role-based permissions with contextual validation
- ✅ **A02 - Cryptographic Failures**: Secure JWT implementation with proper key management
- ✅ **A03 - Injection**: Prepared SQL statements throughout all database operations
- ✅ **A05 - Security Misconfiguration**: Secure defaults with configurable security options
- ✅ **A07 - Identification & Authentication Failures**: Comprehensive authentication with session management

### **Healthcare Compliance (HIPAA Considerations)**
- ✅ **Patient Data Access Logging**: All access to patient data is logged for audit trails
- ✅ **Role-Based Data Isolation**: Strict enforcement of role-based access to PHI
- ✅ **Audit Trail Requirements**: Comprehensive logging of all authentication and authorization events
- ✅ **Multi-Clinic Data Separation**: Proper isolation of patient data between clinics
- ✅ **Session Security**: Secure session management with timeout and monitoring

### **2024 Security Best Practices**
- ✅ **Short-Lived Access Tokens**: 10-minute expiration for access tokens
- ✅ **Refresh Token Rotation**: Automatic refresh token rotation on use
- ✅ **Token Revocation**: Database-backed token revocation capabilities
- ✅ **IP Binding**: Optional IP binding for enhanced security
- ✅ **Rate Limiting Support**: Built-in failed attempt tracking and lockout
- ✅ **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed audit logs for all security events

## 🗄️ **DATABASE TABLES CREATED**

### **JWT Token Management**
```sql
kivicare_jwt_tokens
├── jti (unique identifier)
├── user_id (foreign key)
├── token_type (access/refresh)
├── created_at, expires_at, revoked_at
└── is_revoked (revocation status)
```

### **Session Management** (Already existed)
```sql
kivicare_sessions
├── session_id (UUID)
├── user_id, ip_address, user_agent
├── created_at, last_activity, expires_at
└── is_active (session status)
```

### **Security Audit Logs** (Already existed)
```sql
kivicare_security_log
├── user_id, event_type
├── event_data (JSON)
├── ip_address, user_agent
└── created_at
```

---

## 🚀 **USAGE EXAMPLES**

### **Token Generation**
```php
use Care_API\Services\JWT_Service;

$tokens = JWT_Service::generate_tokens( $user_id );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $tokens ) ) {
    // $tokens contains access_token, refresh_token, expires_in, etc.
}
```

### **Permission Checking**
```php
use Care_API\Services\Permission_Service;

$can_access = Permission_Service::has_permission( 
    $user, 
    'view_patient_encounters',
    array( 'patient_id' => 123, 'clinic_id' => 1 )
);
```

### **Session Validation**
```php
use Care_API\Services\Session_Service;

$session = Session_Service::validate_session( $session_id, $user_id );
if ( $session ) {
    // Session is valid and active
}
```

---

## 🔧 **CONFIGURATION OPTIONS**

### **JWT Configuration**
```php
// Filter to change JWT algorithm
add_filter( 'kivicare_jwt_algorithm', function() { return 'RS256'; } );

// Enable IP binding for access tokens
add_filter( 'kivicare_jwt_ip_binding', '__return_true' );

// Enable session expiration on IP change
add_filter( 'kivicare_expire_on_ip_change', '__return_true' );
```

### **Permission Customization**
```php
// Customize permission matrix
add_filter( 'kivicare_permission_matrix', function( $matrix ) {
    $matrix['custom_role'] = array( 'custom_permission' );
    return $matrix;
} );
```
