Authentication & Authorization Implementation Patterns

Build secure, scalable authentication and authorization systems using industry-standard patterns and modern best practices.

When to Use This Skill

  • Implementing user authentication systems
  • Securing REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Adding OAuth2/social login
  • Implementing role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Designing session management
  • Migrating authentication systems
  • Debugging auth issues
  • Implementing SSO or multi-tenancy

Core Concepts

1. Authentication vs Authorization

Authentication (AuthN): Who are you?

  • Verifying identity (username/password, OAuth, biometrics)
  • Issuing credentials (sessions, tokens)
  • Managing login/logout

Authorization (AuthZ): What can you do?

  • Permission checking
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Resource ownership validation
  • Policy enforcement

2. Authentication Strategies

Session-Based:

  • Server stores session state
  • Session ID in cookie
  • Traditional, simple, stateful

Token-Based (JWT):

  • Stateless, self-contained
  • Scales horizontally
  • Can store claims

OAuth2/OpenID Connect:

  • Delegate authentication
  • Social login (Google, GitHub)
  • Enterprise SSO

Best Practices

  1. Never Store Plain Passwords: Always hash with bcrypt/argon2
  2. Use HTTPS: Encrypt data in transit
  3. Short-Lived Access Tokens: 15-30 minutes max
  4. Secure Cookies: httpOnly, secure, sameSite flags
  5. Validate All Input: Email format, password strength
  6. Rate Limit Auth Endpoints: Prevent brute force attacks
  7. Implement CSRF Protection: For session-based auth
  8. Rotate Secrets Regularly: JWT secrets, session secrets
  9. Log Security Events: Login attempts, failed auth
  10. Use MFA When Possible: Extra security layer

Common Pitfalls

  • Weak Passwords: Enforce strong password policies
  • JWT in localStorage: Vulnerable to XSS, use httpOnly cookies
  • No Token Expiration: Tokens should expire
  • Client-Side Auth Checks Only: Always validate server-side
  • Insecure Password Reset: Use secure tokens with expiration
  • No Rate Limiting: Vulnerable to brute force
  • Trusting Client Data: Always validate on server

Systematic writing framework for philosophy and interdisciplinary academic papers from optimized outline to submission-ready manuscript. Use when users want to: (1) write a paper from a detailed outline, (2) ensure quality control during writing, (3) maintain consistency across chapters, (4) prepare a submission-ready manuscript, or (5) systematically execute a planned paper. Triggered by phrases like 'write the paper from this outline,' 'compose the full manuscript,' 'execute the outline,' or when users have completed strategic planning (academic-paper-strategist skill) and are ready to write. Takes optimized outline as input; outputs complete manuscript with iterative quality checks.

Multi-perspective academic paper review with dynamic reviewer personas. Runs a 5-seat, role-separated review panel (Journal-Fit Reviewer + 3 peer-review roles + Devil's Advocate) with field-specific expertise; role separation is not a claim of independent error processes. Supports full review, re-review (verification), quick assessment, methodology focus, Socratic guided, and calibration modes. Triggers on: review paper, peer review, manuscript review, referee report, review my paper, critique paper, simulate review, editorial review, calibrate reviewer, reviewer calibration, measure reviewer accuracy, 審查論文, 論文審查, 模擬審查, 同儕審查, 幫我審這篇, 以審查人角度評估, 審查者校準, 논문 심사, 동료 심사, 모의 심사, 심사자 관점에서 평가, 심사자 보정.

Systematic strategic planning framework for philosophy and interdisciplinary academic papers targeting preprint platforms (PhilArchive, arXiv, PhilSci-Archive). Use when users want to: (1) plan a paper on a specific topic, (2) identify research gaps and assess originality, (3) develop optimized paper outlines, (4) prepare for preprint submission, or (5) understand platform requirements and writing standards. Triggered by phrases like 'plan a paper on,' 'help me design a paper about,' 'identify research gaps in,' 'is this idea original,' or when users need structured research planning. The skill guides through three phases: Platform Analysis (identifying target venue and studying sample papers), Theoretical Framework (AI-driven literature search and gap identification), and Outline Optimization (structured design with reviewer-perspective self-assessment). Each phase includes quality evaluation standards and validation checkpoints.
