Security Implementation

Implemented ✅

  • JWT token-based authentication
  • Password hashing with bcrypt (backend)
  • Token expiration (30 minutes default)
  • Secure token storage in localStorage
  • Environment-based API URL configuration
  • CORS middleware configured
  • Password strength requirements (8+ chars, uppercase, number, special char)
  • Form field validation with Zod

Recommended for Production ⚠️

  • Use HttpOnly cookies instead of localStorage
  • Implement refresh token rotation
  • Add rate limiting on auth endpoints
  • Implement password reset flow
  • Enable HTTPS on all connections
  • Restrict CORS to frontend domain only
  • Add request signing/verification
  • Implement audit logging
  • Add IP whitelisting
  • Set up monitoring and alerts

Testing Workflow

Manual Testing Steps

# 1. Start Backend
cd /home/sorti/projects/CIA/e-voting-system
poetry shell
uvicorn backend.main:app --reload

# 2. Start Frontend
cd frontend
npm run dev

# 3. Test in Browser (http://localhost:3000)
# - Register new user
# - Login with credentials
# - View dashboard (should show elections)
# - Logout (should redirect to home)
# - Test form validation errors

Test Cases

  • Registration with invalid email
  • Registration with weak password
  • Login with wrong password
  • Dashboard loads without authentication (should redirect)
  • Dashboard shows user name in header
  • Election data loads on dashboard
  • Logout clears session and redirects
  • Protected routes redirect to login when not authenticated
  • Form validation shows inline errors
  • Password confirmation mismatch detected

Validation & Type Safety

Form Validation Schemas

loginSchema              // email, password
