+# JWT Authentication for Wallet Signatures - Implementation Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation provides JWT-based authentication for the TrustFlow protocol using Stellar wallet signatures. Users authenticate by signing a nonce with their Freighter wallet, proving ownership of their Stellar address without exposing private keys.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+1. **AuthModule** (`auth.module.ts`)
+   - Configures JWT and Passport modules
+   - Registers AuthService, AuthController, and JwtStrategy
+   - Exports AuthService for use in other modules
+
+2. **AuthService** (`auth.service.ts`)
+   - Generates cryptographic challenges for wallet signing
+   - Verifies Stellar signatures using @stellar/stellar-sdk
+   - Issues JWT tokens upon successful authentication
+   - Validates JWT tokens for protected routes
+
+3. **AuthController** (`auth.controller.ts`)
+   - `GET /auth/challenge` - Generates a challenge message for wallet signing
+   - `POST /auth/verify` - Verifies wallet signature and returns JWT token
+
+4. **JwtStrategy** (`jwt.strategy.ts`)
+   - Passport strategy for JWT validation
+   - Extracts JWT from Authorization header
+   - Validates token signature and expiration
+
+5. **JwtAuthGuard** (`auth.guard.ts`)
+   - Guards protected routes using JWT authentication
+   - Extends NestJS AuthGuard with custom error handling
+
+6. **DTOs** (`dto/`)
+   - `ChallengeDto` - Validates wallet address format
+   - `VerifyDto` - Validates signature verification request
+   - `ChallengeResponseDto` - Challenge response schema
+   - `TokenResponseDto` - JWT token response schema
+
+## Authentication Flow
+
+### Step 1: Request Challenge
+```bash
+GET /auth/challenge?address=GXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "challenge": "Sign this message to authenticate with TrustFlow: a1b2c3d4..."
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Sign Challenge with Freighter Wallet
+The user signs the challenge message using their Freighter wallet. The signature is returned as a base64-encoded string.
+
+### Step 3: Verify Signature and Get JWT
+```bash
+POST /auth/verify
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "address": "GXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
+  "signature": "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh..."
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Use JWT for Protected Routes
+```bash
+GET /escrows
+Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+1. **Challenge Expiration**: Challenges expire after 5 minutes to prevent replay attacks
+2. **One-Time Use**: Each challenge can only be used once
+3. **Stellar Signature Verification**: Uses @stellar/stellar-sdk for cryptographic verification
+4. **JWT Expiration**: Tokens expire after 24 hours
+5. **Address Validation**: Validates Stellar public key format (G-prefixed, 56 characters)
+6. **Input Validation**: Uses class-validator for request validation
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### New Dependencies Added
+- `@stellar/stellar-sdk@^16.0.1` - Stellar SDK for signature verification
+- `class-validator@^0.14.4` - Input validation decorators
+- `class-transformer@^0.5.1` - Object transformation
+
+### Existing Dependencies Used
+- `@nestjs/jwt@^10.0.0` - JWT token generation and validation
+- `@nestjs/passport@^10.0.0` - Passport integration
+- `passport-jwt@^4.0.1` - JWT strategy for Passport
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Required environment variables:
+```env
+JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-here  # Secret for JWT signing
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### JWT Configuration
+- **Secret**: From `JWT_SECRET` environment variable (defaults to 'dev-secret-change-in-production')
+- **Expiration**: 24 hours
+- **Algorithm**: HS256
+
+### Challenge Configuration
+- **Expiration**: 5 minutes
+- **Nonce Length**: 32 bytes (64 hex characters)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Errors
+
+1. **Challenge Not Found**
+   - Status: 401
+   - Message: "Challenge not found or expired"
+   - Cause: Challenge was never requested or has expired
+
+2. **Invalid Signature**
+   - Status: 401
+   - Message: "Invalid signature"
+   - Cause: Signature verification failed
+
+3. **Invalid Address Format**
+   - Status: 400
+   - Message: "Invalid Stellar public key format"
+   - Cause: Address doesn't match Stellar public key pattern
+
+4. **Missing Token**
+   - Status: 401
+   - Message: "Missing token"
+   - Cause: Authorization header not provided
+
+5. **Invalid Token**
+   - Status: 401
+   - Message: "Invalid or expired token"
+   - Cause: Token is malformed, expired, or signature is invalid
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+1. Start the development server:
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+2. Request a challenge:
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:3001/auth/challenge?address=GABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
+```
+
+3. Sign the challenge using Freighter wallet (client-side)
+
+4. Verify signature and get token:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/auth/verify \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"address":"G...","signature":"..."}'
+```
+
+5. Use token for protected routes:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:3001/escrows \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
+```
+
+## Integration with Freighter Wallet
+
+### Client-Side Implementation Example
+
+```typescript
+import * as freighter from '@stellar/freighter-api';
+
+// 1. Get user's public key
+const address = await freighter.getPublicKey();
+
+// 2. Request challenge from backend
+const response = await fetch(`/auth/challenge?address=${address}`);
+const { challenge } = await response.json();
+
+// 3. Sign challenge with Freighter
+const signature = await freighter.signMessage(challenge, address);
+
+// 4. Verify signature and get JWT
+const verifyResponse = await fetch('/auth/verify', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({ address, signature }),
+});
+const { token } = await verifyResponse.json();
+
+// 5. Store token and use for authenticated requests
+localStorage.setItem('jwt', token);
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Rate Limiting**: Add per-wallet rate limiting on auth endpoints
+2. **Token Refresh**: Implement refresh token mechanism
+3. **Multi-Factor Authentication**: Add optional 2FA support
+4. **Session Management**: Add token revocation and session tracking
+5. **Auditing**: Log all authentication attempts for security monitoring
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- None - this is a new feature
+
+### API Changes
+- Added `/auth/challenge` endpoint
+- Added `/auth/verify` endpoint
+- Updated JWT token format (now uses standard JWT instead of custom format)
+
+### Database Changes
+- None - uses in-memory challenge storage (consider Redis for production)
+
+## Production Considerations
+
+1. **Challenge Storage**: Use Redis or similar for distributed challenge storage
+2. **JWT Secret**: Use a strong, randomly generated secret
+3. **HTTPS**: Always use HTTPS in production
+4. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
+5. **Monitoring**: Monitor authentication failures for security incidents
+6. **Key Rotation**: Implement JWT secret rotation strategy
+
