Identified Client Authentication

Advanced client identification and verification for enhanced security.

Overview

Identified Client authentication provides a secure way to authenticate clients with additional verification and tracking capabilities.

Features

  • Client Fingerprinting: Unique identification of client devices
  • Multi-Factor Authentication: Additional security layers
  • Session Management: Secure session handling
  • Device Tracking: Monitor and manage client devices

Setup

Client Registration

// Register a new client
const clientInfo = await client.register({
  clientId: 'unique-client-id',
  deviceInfo: {
    platform: 'web',
    userAgent: navigator.userAgent,
    fingerprint: 'device-fingerprint'
  },
  metadata: {
    appVersion: '1.0.0',
    userId: 'user123'
  }
});

Client Identification

// Identify client during connection
const identifiedClient = new QPubSocket({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  clientId: 'unique-client-id',
  identification: {
    method: 'identified',
    credentials: {
      clientToken: 'client-specific-token',
      deviceSignature: 'device-signature'
    }
  }
});

Client Verification

Device Fingerprinting

// Generate device fingerprint
const fingerprint = await client.generateFingerprint({
  canvas: true,
  webgl: true,
  audio: true,
  fonts: true
});

Client Validation

// Validate client identity
const isValid = await client.validateClient({
  clientId: 'unique-client-id',
  fingerprint: 'device-fingerprint',
  signature: 'client-signature'
});

Session Management

Session Creation

// Create authenticated session
const session = await client.createSession({
  clientId: 'unique-client-id',
  expiresIn: 3600, // 1 hour
  permissions: ['read:channels', 'write:messages']
});

Session Validation

// Validate existing session
const isValidSession = await client.validateSession(sessionToken);

Security Features

  • Encrypted Communication: All data encrypted in transit
  • Token Rotation: Automatic token refresh for security
  • Device Binding: Tokens bound to specific devices
  • Audit Logging: Complete audit trail of client activities
