django-authx

All in one authentication and authorization package for django

leogenius360: I need a deeper analysis of my models (django_authx/models/*)

Workspace: Collecting workspace information

I'll analyze the Django models in the django_authx/models/ directory:

Core Models Overview

Base Models

AbstractBaseAuthModel

• Foundation abstract model that provides:
• Common authentication fields like status, timestamps, validation tracking
• Core functionality for validation attempts and status management

AUTH_STATUS

choices: pending, active, used_up, expired, disabled, suspended, locked

AbstractAuthModel

• Extends base model with:

is_primary

boolean field for marking primary authentication methods

Authentication Method Models

EmailAuth

• Basic email authentication
• Unique email field with validation
• Custom DB table: authx_emails
• Indexed fields: email, is_active, is_verified

PhoneAuth

• Phone number authentication using PhoneNumberField

• E.164 format validation

• Custom DB table: authx_phones

• Indexed fields: phone, is_active, is_verified

OAuth2Auth

• OAuth2-based authentication
• Fields for provider, tokens, expiry
• Scoped access control
• Custom DB table: authx_oauth2
• Unique constraint on (provider, provider_id)

MFA Methods

Located in models/mfactor.py

, implements various MFA approaches:

• TOTPMethod: Time-based One-Time Password

  • TOTP secret key storage
  • JWT validation support
  • Configurable digits and interval

• WebAuthnMethod: FIDO2/WebAuthn support

  • Encrypted credential storage
  • Sign count tracking

• PushMethod: Push notification authentication

  • Device token and platform info
  • Push notification handling

• BackupCode: Recovery code system

  • Single-use encrypted codes
  • Usage tracking
  • Automatic code generation

• TrustedDevice: Device trust management

  • Device fingerprinting
  • Trust expiry handling
  • IP and user agent tracking

Field Encryption

The models use encrypted fields from models/modelfields/encrypted_fields.py

:

• EncryptedCharField

• EncryptedTextField

• EncryptedDateField

• EncryptedDateTimeField

• EncryptedEmailField

• EncryptedBooleanField

• EncryptedNumberFields (various integer types)

Key Features

1. Security

   • Field-level encryption using Fernet
   • Soft deletion support
   • Failed attempt tracking
   • Automatic lockout

2. Flexibility

   • Multiple authentication methods
   • MFA support
   • Device trust management
   • Status tracking

3. Auditing

   • Comprehensive timestamps
   • Activity tracking
   • Status change logging

4. Performance

   • Strategic database indexing
   • Efficient queries
   • Caching support

Suggested Improvements

1. Add more extensive validation methods for each auth type
2. Implement rate limiting at the model level
3. Add more robust session management
4. Enhance audit logging
5. Consider adding support for biometric authentication methods
6. Add support for batch operations and bulk updates
7. Consider implementing password history tracking
8. Add support for auth method prioritization
