User Identity:
userId- Unique user identifier (GUID)email- User's email addressfullName- Optional user full namealgorandAddress- Derived ARC76 Algorand address
-
Authentication Tokens:
accessToken- JWT access token for API requestsrefreshToken- Opaque refresh token for token renewalexpiresAt- ISO 8601 timestamp of token expiration
-
Status Information:
success- Boolean operation success indicatorerrorCode- Structured error code (if failure)errorMessage- User-friendly error message (if failure)
All authentication errors follow consistent structure:
{
"success": false,
"errorCode": "WEAK_PASSWORD",
"errorMessage": "Password must be at least 8 characters and contain uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character"
}Error Codes Implemented:
WEAK_PASSWORD- Password does not meet complexity requirementsUSER_ALREADY_EXISTS- Email already registeredINVALID_CREDENTIALS- Email or password incorrectACCOUNT_LOCKED- Too many failed login attemptsINVALID_REFRESH_TOKEN- Refresh token invalid or expiredUSER_NOT_FOUND- User does not exist
The consistent response format enables the frontend to:
- Store
accessTokenfor Authorization header:Bearer {accessToken} - Store
refreshTokenfor automatic token renewal - Display
algorandAddressfor user identity - Parse
expiresAtfor client-side token expiration handling - Handle errors uniformly with
errorCodeanderrorMessage

Frontend Polling Strategy:
// Frontend example for polling deployment status
async function trackDeployment(deploymentId) {
const maxAttempts = 60; // 5 minutes with 5-second intervals
let attempts = 0;
while (attempts < maxAttempts) {
const response = await fetch(
`/api/v1/deployment-status/${deploymentId}`,
{
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`
}
}
);
const data = await response.json();
const status = data.deployment.currentStatus;
// Update UI with current status
updateStatusUI(status, data.deployment);
// Terminal states - stop polling
if (status === 'Completed' || status === 'Failed' || status === 'Cancelled') {
return data.deployment;
}
// Wait 5 seconds before next poll
await sleep(5000);
attempts++;
}
throw new Error('Deployment status polling timeout');
}Webhook Alternative:
Configure webhook URL during deployment:
{
"tokenName": "MyToken",
"tokenSymbol": "MTK",
"webhookUrl": "https://myapp.com/webhooks/deployment-status"
}Backend sends POST to webhook URL on every status change:
{
"deploymentId": "abc-123",
"previousStatus": "Pending",
"currentStatus": "Confirmed",
"transactionHash": "0xtxhash...",
"confirmedRound": 5432109,
"timestamp": "2026-02-07T20:02:00Z"
}-
Consistent State Machine
- Only valid transitions allowed
- Atomic status updates
- No duplicate status entries
-
Transaction Verification
- Backend verifies transaction confirmation on blockchain
- Polls blockchain node for confirmation
- Waits for required confirmations (1 for Algorand, 12 for Ethereum)
-
Error Detection
- Reverted transactions detected
- Network errors captured
- Timeout handling (30 seconds per operation)
-
Status Synchronization
- Background worker monitors pending deployments
- Automatic status updates when blockchain confirms
- TransactionMonitorWorker runs every 30 seconds
Requirement: "Audit trail logging includes auth, token creation, and deployment events with correlation IDs."
Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED
HTTP Context Tracking:
Every HTTP request automatically receives a correlation ID via HttpContext.TraceIdentifier.
Usage in Controllers:
AuthV2Controller (Lines 79, 107, 162, etc.):
var correlationId = HttpContext.TraceIdentifier;
_logger.LogInformation("User registered successfully. Email={Email}, UserId={UserId}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
LoggingHelper.SanitizeLogInput(response.Email),
response.UserId,
correlationId);TokenController (Lines 102, 134, etc.):
var correlationId = HttpContext.TraceIdentifier;
_logger.LogInformation("Token deployment initiated. Type={TokenType}, Network={Network}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
tokenType,
network,
correlationId);Propagation to Services:
Correlation IDs are passed from controllers to services and stored in deployment records:
var deploymentId = await _deploymentStatusService.CreateDeploymentAsync(
tokenType: "ERC20Mintable",
network: "base",
deployedBy: userAddress,
tokenName: request.TokenName,
tokenSymbol: request.TokenSymbol,
correlationId: correlationId // Passed to deployment tracking
);Storage in TokenDeployment (Line 258 in DeploymentStatus.cs):
public string? CorrelationId { get; set; }1. Authentication Events
Registration (AuthV2Controller.cs, Lines 93-100):
_logger.LogInformation("User registered successfully. Email={Email}, UserId={UserId}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
LoggingHelper.SanitizeLogInput(response.Email),
response.UserId,
correlationId);Login (Lines 151-158):
_logger.LogInformation("User logged in successfully. Email={Email}, UserId={UserId}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
LoggingHelper.SanitizeLogInput(request.Email),
response.UserId,
correlationId);Login Failure (Lines 144-148):
_logger.LogWarning("Login failed: {ErrorCode} - {ErrorMessage}. Email={Email}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
response.ErrorCode,
response.ErrorMessage,
LoggingHelper.SanitizeLogInput(request.Email),
correlationId);Token Refresh (Lines 209-213):
_logger.LogInformation("Token refreshed successfully. CorrelationId={CorrelationId}", correlationId);Logout (Lines 240-243):
_logger.LogInformation("User logged out. UserId={UserId}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
userId,
correlationId);2. Token Creation Events
Deployment Initiation (TokenController.cs):
_logger.LogInformation("Starting {TokenType} token deployment on {Network}. CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
tokenType,
network,
correlationId);Validation Failure:
_logger.LogWarning("Token deployment validation failed: {ErrorCode}. CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
errorCode,
correlationId);Deployment Success:
_logger.LogInformation("Token deployed successfully: AssetId={AssetId}, TxHash={TxHash}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
response.AssetId,
response.TransactionHash,
correlationId);3. Deployment Status Events
Status Update (DeploymentStatusService.cs, Lines 140-155):
_logger.LogInformation("Deployment status updated: DeploymentId={DeploymentId}, From={OldStatus}, To={NewStatus}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
deploymentId,
oldStatus,
newStatus,
deployment.CorrelationId);Failed Deployment (Lines 160-175):
_logger.LogError("Deployment failed: DeploymentId={DeploymentId}, ErrorCode={ErrorCode}, Message={Message}, CorrelationId={CorrelationId}",
deploymentId,
errorCode,
errorMessage,
deployment.CorrelationId);4. Security Activity Logging
SecurityActivityService (BiatecTokensApi/Services/SecurityActivityService.cs)
Tracks security-sensitive operations:
- Account creation
- Login attempts (success and failure)
- Password changes
- Token deployment
- Withdrawal operations
- Whitelist modifications
Each event includes:
EventId- Unique event identifierAccountId- User account IDEventType- Type of operationSeverity- Info, Warning, Error, CriticalTimestamp- UTC timestampSuccess- Operation success indicatorCorrelationId- Request correlation IDSourceIp- Client IP addressUserAgent- Client user agent
CSV Export (Lines 95-145):
csv.AppendLine("EventId,AccountId,EventType,Severity,Timestamp,Summary,Success,ErrorMessage,CorrelationId,SourceIp,UserAgent");
foreach (var evt in events)
{
csv.AppendLine($"{EscapeCsv(evt.EventId)}," +
$"{EscapeCsv(evt.AccountId)}," +
$"{EscapeCsv(evt.EventType)}," +
// ...
$"{EscapeCsv(evt.CorrelationId)}," +
$"{EscapeCsv(evt.SourceIp)}," +
$"{EscapeCsv(evt.UserAgent)}");
}LoggingHelper (BiatecTokensApi/Helpers/LoggingHelper.cs)
All user-provided inputs are sanitized before logging to prevent log injection attacks:
public static string SanitizeLogInput(string? input)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
return string.Empty;
// Remove control characters that could be used for log forging
var sanitized = Regex.Replace(input, @"[\r\n\t]", " ");
// Truncate excessively long inputs
if (sanitized.Length > 500)
sanitized = sanitized.Substring(0, 500) + "...[truncated]";
return sanitized;
}Usage everywhere:
_logger.LogInformation("User registered: Email={Email}",
LoggingHelper.SanitizeLogInput(user.Email)); // ALWAYS sanitizedThis prevents CodeQL "Log entries created from user input" high-severity vulnerabilities.
SecurityActivityController provides endpoints for audit trail queries:
GET /api/v1/security-activity?fromDate=2026-02-01&toDate=2026-02-07&eventType=LOGIN
Authorization: Bearer {jwt-token}
Export to CSV:
GET /api/v1/security-activity/export?format=csv
Authorization: Bearer {jwt-token}
Returns CSV with all security events for compliance reporting.
Requirement: "Errors are normalized with actionable messages and consistent status codes."

Requirement: "No backend flow depends on wallet connectors or client-side signing."
Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED
Complete Server-Side Architecture:
-
Authentication - Email/password only, no wallet required
- Users never see or manage private keys
- ARC76 accounts derived deterministically
- Mnemonics encrypted with AES-256-GCM
-
Transaction Signing - All signing server-side
AuthenticationServicedecrypts mnemonic when neededERC20TokenService,ASATokenService, etc. sign transactions server-side- Users never prompted for wallet signatures
-
Account Derivation - NBitcoin BIP39 + ARC76
// Server-side only var mnemonic = GenerateMnemonic(); // BIP39 24-word mnemonic var account = ARC76.GetAccount(mnemonic); // Deterministic ARC76 account
No Wallet Connector References:
Verified by code search:
grep -r "MetaMask\|WalletConnect\|Pera\|AlgoSigner\|MyAlgo" BiatecTokensApi/ --include="*.cs"
# Result: 0 matchesThe codebase contains ZERO references to:
- MetaMask
- WalletConnect
- Pera Wallet
- AlgoSigner
- MyAlgo Wallet
- Any other wallet connector
1. Password Security
Password Hashing (AuthenticationService.cs, Lines 474-514):
private string HashPassword(string password)
{
using var sha256 = SHA256.Create();
// Generate random salt
var salt = RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes(32);
// Hash password with salt
var passwordBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password);
var saltedPassword = new byte[salt.Length + passwordBytes.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(salt, 0, saltedPassword, 0, salt.Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(passwordBytes, 0, saltedPassword, salt.Length, passwordBytes.Length);
var hash = sha256.ComputeHash(saltedPassword);
// Return Base64(salt + hash)
var result = new byte[salt.Length + hash.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(salt, 0, result, 0, salt.Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(hash, 0, result, salt.Length, hash.Length);
return Convert.ToBase64String(result);
}Password Strength Validation (Lines 425-445):
private bool IsPasswordStrong(string password)
{
if (password.Length < 8) return false;
if (!password.Any(char.IsUpper)) return false;
if (!password.Any(char.IsLower)) return false;
if (!password.Any(char.IsDigit)) return false;
if (!password.Any(c => !char.IsLetterOrDigit(c))) return false;
return true;
}2. Mnemonic Encryption
AES-256-GCM Encryption (AuthenticationService.cs, Lines 553-591):
private string EncryptMnemonic(string mnemonic, string password)
{
// Derive key from password using PBKDF2
using var pbkdf2 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(
password,
saltBytes,
iterations: 100000, // 100k iterations for PBKDF2
HashAlgorithmName.SHA256
);
var key = pbkdf2.GetBytes(32); // 256-bit key
// Encrypt with AES-256-GCM
using var aes = new AesGcm(key);
var nonce = RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes(AesGcm.NonceByteSizes.MaxSize);
var ciphertext = new byte[Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mnemonic).Length];
var tag = new byte[AesGcm.TagByteSizes.MaxSize];
aes.Encrypt(nonce, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mnemonic), ciphertext, tag);
// Return Base64(nonce + ciphertext + tag)
var result = new byte[nonce.Length + ciphertext.Length + tag.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(nonce, 0, result, 0, nonce.Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(ciphertext, 0, result, nonce.Length, ciphertext.Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(tag, 0, result, nonce.Length + ciphertext.Length, tag.Length);
return Convert.ToBase64String(result);
}3. Rate Limiting
Rate Limit Attribute (BiatecTokensApi/Filters/RateLimitAttribute.cs):
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class RateLimitAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public int MaxRequests { get; set; } = 100;
public int WindowSeconds { get; set; } = 60;
public override async Task OnActionExecutionAsync(
ActionExecutingContext context,
ActionExecutionDelegate next)
{
var identifier = GetIdentifier(context.HttpContext);
var key = $"rate_limit:{identifier}";
var count = await GetRequestCount(key);
if (count >= MaxRequests)
{
context.Result = new StatusCodeResult(429);
return;
}
await IncrementRequestCount(key, WindowSeconds);
await next();
}
}Applied to sensitive endpoints:
[RateLimit(MaxRequests = 5, WindowSeconds = 300)] // 5 per 5 minutes
[HttpPost("login")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Login([FromBody] LoginRequest request)4. Account Lockout
Failed Login Tracking (AuthenticationService.cs, Lines 157-180):
// Track failed login attempts
var failedAttempts = await _userRepository.GetFailedLoginAttemptsAsync(user.UserId);
if (failedAttempts >= 5)
{
// Lock account for 15 minutes
await _userRepository.LockAccountAsync(user.UserId, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15));
return new LoginResponse
{
Success = false,
ErrorCode = ErrorCodes.ACCOUNT_LOCKED,
ErrorMessage = "Account locked due to too many failed login attempts. Try again in 15 minutes."
};
}
// Check password
if (!VerifyPassword(request.Password, user.PasswordHash))
{
await _userRepository.IncrementFailedLoginAttemptsAsync(user.UserId);
return new LoginResponse
{
Success = false,
ErrorCode = ErrorCodes.INVALID_CREDENTIALS,
ErrorMessage = "Email or password is incorrect"
};
}
// Reset failed attempts on successful login
await _userRepository.ResetFailedLoginAttemptsAsync(user.UserId);5. Input Sanitization
LoggingHelper prevents log injection:
_logger.LogInformation("User registered: Email={Email}",
LoggingHelper.SanitizeLogInput(user.Email));Validation Attributes on all request models:
public class RegisterRequest
{
[Required]
[EmailAddress]
[StringLength(255)]
public string Email { get; set; } = string.Empty;
[Required]
[StringLength(100, MinimumLength = 8)]
public string Password { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}6. Secrets Management
No Hardcoded Secrets:
grep -r "private key\|mnemonic\|secret\|password.*=" BiatecTokensApi/ --include="*.cs" | grep -v "// " | grep -v "/// "
# Result: Only configuration placeholders, no hardcoded secretsConfiguration-Based:
- Mnemonics stored encrypted in database
- Private keys never logged or exposed in API responses
- JWT secret configured via environment variable or appsettings
- Blockchain node URLs configurable per environment
1. Audit Trails
- Every authentication event logged with correlation ID
- Every deployment tracked with complete status history
- Security activity log with CSV export
2. Data Protection
- Passwords hashed with SHA256 + salt
- Mnemonics encrypted with AES-256-GCM
- No plaintext secrets in database
3. Regulatory Reporting
- Security activity export for compliance audits
- Deployment history for transaction reconciliation
- Correlation IDs for incident investigation
Requirement: "Integration tests and E2E flows can complete without manual intervention."
Status: FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Passed! - Failed: 0, Passed: 1361, Skipped: 14, Total: 1375, Duration: 1 m 25 s
Summary:
- ✅ 1,361 tests passed (99.0% pass rate)
- ❌ 0 tests failed
- ⏭️ 14 tests skipped (IPFS integration tests requiring external service)
1. Unit Tests (BiatecTokensTests/Services/)
- Authentication service tests
- Token service tests (ERC20, ASA, ARC3, ARC200)
- Deployment status service tests
- Validation tests
- Error handling tests
2. Integration Tests (BiatecTokensTests/Integration/)
- Auth → Token creation pipeline
- Deployment status tracking
- Webhook notifications
- Audit trail recording
3. Controller Tests (BiatecTokensTests/Controllers/)
- API endpoint tests
- Request/response validation
- Authentication middleware tests
- Error response tests
4. Repository Tests (BiatecTokensTests/Repositories/)
- User repository tests
- Deployment status repository tests
- In-memory database tests
The 14 skipped tests are IPFS integration tests that require a running IPFS node:
[Fact(Skip = "Requires IPFS service")]
public async Task UploadText_ToRealIPFS_ShouldReturnValidCID()
{
// Test uploads content to real IPFS node
// Skipped because CI environment doesn't have IPFS configured
}Why skipped:
- External dependency (IPFS node)
- Not critical for MVP (metadata can be hosted on HTTPS URLs)
- Can be enabled in staging/production environments with IPFS service
Non-IPFS functionality:
- All token deployments work without IPFS
- Metadata can use HTTPS URLs instead of IPFS CIDs
- IPFS is optional enhancement, not required feature
