auth_keys.rs

1//! Per-user JWT signing/verification for the web layer.
2//!
3//! Tokens are signed with each user's own RSA key (private key in their per-user
4//! DB, public key in the global `users` directory). This module wraps the
5//! `server` key lookups + the `token` codec into mint/verify helpers the auth
6//! handlers call.
7//!
8//! Verification always reads the authoritative public key from the directory —
9//! no public-key cache. A cache would risk accepting tokens signed with a
10//! rotated/revoked key until process restart; correctness wins over saving one
11//! indexed primary-key lookup. The DoS surface of unauthenticated lookups is
12//! addressed by rate-limiting the auth endpoints, not by caching.

44/// Reads the `sub` claim unverified as a routing hint ONLY, fetches that user's
45/// authoritative public key from the directory, re-verifies the signature, and
46/// requires the claimed `token_type` to match `expected` — so an access token
47/// can never be replayed where a refresh token is required (or vice-versa).
48/// Returns `None` for any failure — unknown user, missing key, bad signature,
49/// or wrong type — so callers cannot distinguish failure modes (existence
50/// masking). Always hits the DB for the current key, so a rotated/cleared key
51/// takes effect immediately (no stale-key window).
