Security Implementation
Password Hashing
import bcrypt
def hash_password(password: str) -> str:
"""Hash password using bcrypt"""
salt = bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=12)
return bcrypt.hashpw(password.encode(), salt).decode()
def verify_password(password: str, password_hash: str) -> bool:
"""Verify password against hash"""
return bcrypt.checkpw(password.encode(), password_hash.encode())
JWT Token Generation
from jose import jwt
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def create_access_token(user_id: str, email: str) -> str:
"""Create JWT access token"""
expires = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=15)
payload = {
"sub": user_id,
"email": email,
"type": "access",
"exp": expires
}
return jwt.encode(payload, JWT_SECRET_KEY, algorithm=JWT_ALGORITHM)
def create_refresh_token(user_id: str) -> str:
"""Create JWT refresh token"""
expires = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(days=30)
payload = {
"sub": user_id,
"type": "refresh",
"exp": expires
}
return jwt.encode(payload, JWT_SECRET_KEY, algorithm=JWT_ALGORITHM)
Brute Force Protection
async def check_login_attempts(email: str) -> bool:
"""Check if account is locked due to failed attempts"""
recent_attempts = await db.query(LoginAttempt).filter(
LoginAttempt.email == email,
LoginAttempt.success == False,
LoginAttempt.attempted_at > datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=30)
).count()
if recent_attempts >= MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS:
# Lock account
user = await get_user_by_email(email)
user.locked_until = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=30)
await db.commit()
return False
return True
GDPR Compliance Implementation
Data Export
async def export_user_data(user_id: str) -> dict:
"""Export all user data (GDPR Article 20)"""
user = await get_user(user_id)
consents = await get_user_consents(user_id)
login_history = await get_login_attempts(user.email)
audit_logs = await get_audit_logs(user_id)
return {
"user_profile": {
"email": user.email,
"name": f"{user.first_name} {user.last_name}",
"phone": user.phone,
"created_at": user.created_at.isoformat(),
},
"consents": [
{
"type": c.consent_type,

],
"login_history": [
{
"date": attempt.attempted_at.isoformat(),

],
"audit_trail": [
{
"action": log.action,
"date": log.created_at.isoformat(),
"ip": log.ip_address
} for log in audit_logs
]
}
Account Deletion
async def delete_user_account(user_id: str, reason: str) -> None:
"""Delete user account (GDPR Article 17 - Right to Erasure)"""
user = await get_user(user_id)
# Anonymize user data (soft delete)
user.email = f"deleted_{user_id}@deleted.local"
user.password_hash = "DELETED"
user.first_name = "Deleted"
user.last_name = "User"
user.phone = None
user.is_active = False
user.deleted_at = datetime.utcnow()
user.deletion_reason = reason
# Revoke all tokens
await revoke_all_user_tokens(user_id)
# Keep audit logs for legal retention (30 days)
# Actual deletion happens after retention period
await db.commit()
# Publish deletion event
await publish_event("user_deleted", {"user_id": user_id})
Security Measures
Token Security
- Short-lived access tokens (15 min)
- Refresh token rotation
- Token revocation on logout
- Secure token storage (httpOnly cookies recommended for web)
Password Security
- bcrypt hashing (work factor 12)
- Password strength requirements
- Password history (prevent reuse)
- Secure password reset flow
Attack Prevention
- Brute force protection (5 attempts → 30 min lockout)
- Rate limiting (via API Gateway)
- SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
- XSS prevention (input validation)
- CSRF protection (token-based)
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: Login fails with "Account locked"
- Cause: Too many failed login attempts
- Solution: Wait 30 minutes or contact admin to unlock
Issue: Token refresh fails
- Cause: Refresh token expired or revoked
- Solution: Re-login to get new tokens
Issue: Password reset email not received
- Cause: Email service not configured
- Solution: Check SMTP settings or use admin password reset
Issue: GDPR export takes too long
- Cause: Large amount of user data
- Solution: Implement background job processing
Competitive Advantages
- GDPR Built-In - Full compliance out-of-the-box
- Enterprise Security - Industry-standard JWT + bcrypt
- Audit Trail - Complete authentication history
- Multi-Tenant Ready - Isolated user authentication
- Scalable - Handle thousands of concurrent users
- Event-Driven - Integration-ready with RabbitMQ

For VUE Madrid Business Plan: The Auth Service demonstrates enterprise-grade security and full GDPR compliance, critical for EU operations. The built-in audit logging and data protection features prevent costly fines (up to €20M for GDPR violations) and provide peace of mind for bakery owners. This is a key differentiator vs competitors who lack proper data protection.
