🔒 Security Implementation

Multi-Layer Security Architecture

Our security implementation follows the defense-in-depth principle with multiple layers of protection:

Layer 1: Network Security

  • HTTPS/TLS Encryption: All external communications encrypted
  • Docker Network Isolation: Services communicate through private network
  • Port Restrictions: Only necessary ports exposed externally
  • Reverse Proxy: Nginx handles SSL termination and request routing

Layer 2: Application Security

  • JWT Authentication: Stateless, secure token-based authentication
  • Input Validation: Comprehensive validation at all entry points
  • SQL Injection Protection: 15+ attack patterns detected and blocked
  • XSS Prevention: Output encoding and content security policies
  • CSRF Protection: Token-based request validation

Layer 3: Data Security

  • Password Hashing: BCrypt with salt for secure password storage
  • Data Encryption: Sensitive data encrypted at rest
  • Audit Logging: Complete security event tracking
  • Access Control: Role-based access with principle of least privilege

SQL Injection Protection

Our system implements comprehensive protection against SQL injection attacks:

Attack Patterns Detected

  • ✅ UNION-based attacks: ' UNION SELECT * FROM users --
  • ✅ Comment-based attacks: --, #, /* */
  • ✅ Boolean-based blind SQL injection: ' OR '1'='1
  • ✅ Time-based blind SQL injection: '; WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05' --
  • ✅ Stacked queries: ; DROP TABLE users; --
  • ✅ Function-based attacks: load_file(), into outfile
  • ✅ Information schema attacks: SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables
  • ✅ System table attacks: sys., pg_, mysql.
  • ✅ Hex encoding attacks: 0x27204f5220313d3120
  • ✅ SQL function attacks: char(), ascii(), substring()

Protection Implementation

// Example: SQL Injection Protection Service
public class SqlInjectionProtectionService {
    private static final String[] SQL_INJECTION_PATTERNS = {
        "'.*UNION.*SELECT.*", "'.*OR.*1.*=.*1.*", "'.*DROP.*TABLE.*",
        "'.*INSERT.*INTO.*", "'.*DELETE.*FROM.*", "'.*UPDATE.*SET.*",
        "'.*EXEC.*", "'.*EXECUTE.*", "'.*WAITFOR.*DELAY.*",
        "'.*LOAD_FILE.*", "'.*INTO.*OUTFILE.*", "'.*INTO.*DUMPFILE.*"
    };
    
    public boolean isInputSafe(String input) {
        if (!StringUtils.hasText(input)) return false;
        
        String upperInput = input.toUpperCase();
        for (String pattern : SQL_INJECTION_PATTERNS) {
            if (upperInput.matches(pattern)) {
                logSecurityEvent("SQL_INJECTION_ATTEMPT", input);
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Rate Limiting Implementation

Redis-based rate limiting prevents abuse and ensures system stability:

# Rate Limiting Configuration
rate-limit:
  requests-per-minute: 300
  burst-capacity: 500
  window-size: 60

Features:

  • Per-IP Limiting: Individual rate limits per client IP
  • Burst Protection: Handles traffic spikes gracefully
  • Configurable Thresholds: Easily adjustable limits
  • Redis Storage: Distributed rate limiting across instances

Security Headers

Comprehensive security headers protect against various attack vectors:

// Security Headers Configuration
@Component
public class SecurityHeadersConfig implements Filter {
    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, 
                        FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        
        // Prevent clickjacking
        httpResponse.setHeader("X-Frame-Options", "DENY");
        
        // Prevent MIME type sniffing
        httpResponse.setHeader("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff");
        
        // XSS Protection
        httpResponse.setHeader("X-XSS-Protection", "1; mode=block");
        
        // HTTPS enforcement
        httpResponse.setHeader("Strict-Transport-Security", 
            "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains");
        
        // Content Security Policy
        httpResponse.setHeader("Content-Security-Policy", 
            "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'");
        
        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    }
}

# HikariCP Configuration
spring:
  datasource:
    hikari:
      maximum-pool-size: 20
      minimum-idle: 5
      connection-timeout: 30000
      idle-timeout: 600000
      max-lifetime: 1800000
      leak-detection-threshold: 60000

Query Optimization

  • Prepared Statements: All queries use parameterized statements
  • Index Optimization: Strategic indexes for common query patterns
  • Query Analysis: Regular EXPLAIN ANALYZE for performance tuning
  • Connection Management: Efficient connection pooling and reuse

📞 Support & Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue 1: Services Not Starting

Symptoms: Containers fail to start or show unhealthy status

Solutions:

# Check Docker is running
docker --version
docker-compose --version

# Check port availability
netstat -an | findstr ":80 :443 :8080 :5432 :6379"

# Restart Docker Desktop
# (Windows: Right-click Docker Desktop → Restart)

# Clean restart
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose up --build -d

Issue 2: Database Connection Errors

Symptoms: "Connection refused" or "Database not available"

Solutions:

# Check PostgreSQL status
docker-compose logs postgres

# Restart database
docker-compose restart postgres

# Wait for database to be ready
docker-compose exec postgres pg_isready -U postgres

# Check database connectivity
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U postgres -d microservices_db -c "SELECT 1;"

Issue 3: Authentication Failures

Symptoms: Login returns 401 Unauthorized or token validation fails

Solutions:

# Check API Gateway logs
docker-compose logs api-gateway

# Verify JWT configuration
docker-compose exec api-gateway env | grep JWT

# Test authentication manually
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin123"}'

# Restart API Gateway
docker-compose restart api-gateway

Issue 4: Frontend Not Loading

Symptoms: Browser shows "This site can't be reached" or SSL errors

Solutions:

# Check frontend container
docker-compose logs frontend

# Verify Nginx configuration
docker-compose exec frontend nginx -t

# Test HTTP access
curl http://localhost

# Test HTTPS access (accept self-signed certificate)
curl -k https://localhost

# Restart frontend
docker-compose restart frontend

Issue 5: High Memory Usage

Symptoms: System becomes slow or containers are killed

Solutions:

# Check memory usage
docker stats

# Increase Docker memory limit
# (Docker Desktop → Settings → Resources → Memory)

# Restart services
docker-compose restart

# Clean up unused containers
docker system prune -a

Performance Troubleshooting

Slow Response Times

# Check database performance
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U postgres -d microservices_db \
  -c "EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM risk.iban_risk_lookup WHERE iban = 'BG75UBBS0089953434';"

# Check Redis performance
docker-compose exec redis redis-cli ping

# Monitor resource usage
docker stats --no-stream

High Error Rates

# Check application logs
docker-compose logs api-gateway | grep ERROR
docker-compose logs accounts-service | grep ERROR

# Check database connections
docker-compose exec postgres psql -U postgres -d microservices_db \
  -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;"

# Check Redis memory usage
docker-compose exec redis redis-cli info memory

Security Troubleshooting

SQL Injection Protection Issues

# Test SQL injection protection
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File test-sql-injection-simple.ps1

# Check security logs
docker-compose logs api-gateway | grep "SECURITY ALERT"

# Verify input validation
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/fraud-detection/validate-payment \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"supplierIban":"'\''; DROP TABLE users; --","amount":1000,"supplierName":"Test"}'

Rate Limiting Issues

# Check Redis rate limiting
docker-compose exec redis redis-cli keys "rate_limit:*"

# Test rate limiting
for i in {1..10}; do curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/fraud-detection/health; done

# Check rate limiting logs
docker-compose logs api-gateway | grep "Rate limit"
