## STRIDE Threat Model

```
S - Spoofing (Authentication)
T - Tampering (Integrity)
R - Repudiation (Non-repudiation)
I - Information Disclosure (Confidentiality)
D - Denial of Service (Availability)
E - Elevation of Privilege (Authorization)
```

### Threat Modeling Template
```markdown
## Threat Model: [System Name]

### Assets
- User credentials
- Personal data (PII)
- Payment information
- Business logic

### Trust Boundaries
- Internet → Application
- Application → Database
- Admin → Management APIs

### Threats (STRIDE)
| Threat | Asset | Mitigation |
|--------|-------|------------|
| Spoofing | Auth | MFA, rate limiting |
| Tampering | Data | Input validation, integrity checks |
| Info Disclosure | PII | Encryption, access control |

### Security Controls
1. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 + MFA
2. Authorization: RBAC with least privilege
3. Encryption: TLS 1.3, AES-256 at rest
4. Logging: Comprehensive audit logs
```

## OWASP Top 10 Mitigations

### A01: Broken Access Control
```typescript
// Bad
app.get('/user/:id', (req, res) => {
  const user = getUser(req.params.id);
  res.json(user);
});

// Good
app.get('/user/:id', authenticate, (req, res) => {
  if (req.params.id !== req.user.id && !req.user.isAdmin) {
    return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Forbidden' });
  }
  const user = getUser(req.params.id);
  res.json(user);
});
```

### A03: Injection
```typescript
// Bad - SQL Injection
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

// Good - Parameterized query
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1';
const result = await db.query(query, [userId]);
```

### A07: Authentication Failures
```typescript
// Secure password hashing
import bcrypt from 'bcrypt';

const SALT_ROUNDS = 12;

async function hashPassword(password: string): Promise<string> {
  return bcrypt.hash(password, SALT_ROUNDS);
}

async function verifyPassword(password: string, hash: string): Promise<boolean> {
  return bcrypt.compare(password, hash);
}
```

## Authentication Patterns

### JWT with Refresh Tokens
```typescript
interface TokenPair {
  accessToken: string;  // Short-lived (15 min)
  refreshToken: string; // Long-lived (7 days)
}

function generateTokens(user: User): TokenPair {
  const accessToken = jwt.sign(
    { sub: user.id, email: user.email },
    ACCESS_SECRET,
    { expiresIn: '15m' }
  );

  const refreshToken = jwt.sign(
    { sub: user.id, tokenVersion: user.tokenVersion },
    REFRESH_SECRET,
    { expiresIn: '7d' }
  );

  return { accessToken, refreshToken };
}
```

### OAuth 2.0 + PKCE
```typescript
// Generate PKCE challenge
function generatePKCE() {
  const verifier = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64url');
  const challenge = crypto
    .createHash('sha256')
    .update(verifier)
    .digest('base64url');

  return { verifier, challenge };
}
```

## Encryption Standards

### Data at Rest
```typescript
import { createCipheriv, createDecipheriv, randomBytes } from 'crypto';

const ALGORITHM = 'aes-256-gcm';

function encrypt(plaintext: string, key: Buffer): EncryptedData {
  const iv = randomBytes(16);
  const cipher = createCipheriv(ALGORITHM, key, iv);

  let encrypted = cipher.update(plaintext, 'utf8', 'base64');
  encrypted += cipher.final('base64');

  return {
    iv: iv.toString('base64'),
    data: encrypted,
    tag: cipher.getAuthTag().toString('base64')
  };
}
```

### Secrets Management
```typescript
// Using environment variables (basic)
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY;

// Using secrets manager (recommended)
import { SecretsManager } from '@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager';

async function getSecret(secretId: string): Promise<string> {
  const client = new SecretsManager();
  const response = await client.getSecretValue({ SecretId: secretId });
  return response.SecretString!;
}
```

## Security Headers

```typescript
// Express middleware
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  // Prevent clickjacking
  res.setHeader('X-Frame-Options', 'DENY');

  // XSS protection
  res.setHeader('X-Content-Type-Options', 'nosniff');

  // Content Security Policy
  res.setHeader('Content-Security-Policy',
    "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'");

  // HSTS
  res.setHeader('Strict-Transport-Security',
    'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains');

  next();
});
```

## Best Practices

1. **Defense in depth** - Multiple layers of security
2. **Least privilege** - Minimal necessary permissions
3. **Fail secure** - Deny by default
4. **Input validation** - Never trust user input
5. **Encrypt sensitive data** - At rest and in transit
6. **Audit logging** - Track security events
7. **Regular updates** - Patch vulnerabilities promptly

Security is a process, not a product.
