πŸ”§ Architecture Decisions

Security-First Approach

  1. Passwords: bcrypt hashing with salt
  2. API Keys: SHA-256 hashing, shown once
  3. Secrets: AES-256-CBC encryption
  4. JWT: RS256 with key rotation
  5. Sessions: Refresh token rotation
  6. Rate Limiting: Token bucket with burst protection

Database Schema

  • auth schema: Users, sessions, MFA, roles, permissions
  • secrets schema: Encrypted vault, encryption keys, audit logs
  • rate_limit schema: Buckets, rules, logs, whitelist, blocklist

Cross-Platform Compatibility

  • Bash 3.2+ (macOS/Linux)
  • OpenSSL for cryptography
  • PostgreSQL for data storage
  • Docker for containerization
  • jq for JSON processing

Modular Design

  • Each feature in separate module
  • Functions exported for reusability
  • CLI commands composable
  • Easy to extend and maintain
