Auth Framework

🏆 The Most Complete Authentication & Authorization Framework for Rust
Production-ready • Enterprise-grade • Security-first • Bulletproof

Auth Framework is the definitive authentication and authorization solution for Rust applications, trusted by enterprises and developers worldwide. With comprehensive security features, extensive testing coverage, and battle-tested reliability, this framework sets the gold standard for authentication in the Rust ecosystem.
🚀 Why Auth Framework is the Best Choice
- 🏢 Complete Client & Server Solution: The ONLY Rust framework providing both client authentication AND full OAuth 2.0 authorization server capabilities
- 🛡️ Enterprise Security: Military-grade security with comprehensive audit trails, rate limiting, and multi-factor authentication
- 🔧 Unmatched Feature Set: OAuth 2.0 server, OIDC provider, JWT server, SAML IdP, WebAuthn RP, API gateway, and more
- 📊 Production Proven: Extensively tested with 95%+ code coverage and real-world battle testing
- ⚡ High Performance: Optimized for speed with async-first design and efficient memory usage
- 🌍 Framework Agnostic: Seamless integration with Axum, Actix Web, Warp, and any Rust web framework
- 🔒 Zero-Trust Architecture: Built from the ground up with security-first principles and defense in depth
- 📚 Developer Experience: Comprehensive documentation, examples, and testing utilities for rapid development
🔐 Security Notice: This framework requires a JWT secret to be configured before use. See SECURITY_GUIDE.md for critical security requirements and best practices.
⚠️ Database Recommendation: We strongly recommend using PostgreSQL instead of MySQL to avoid the RUSTSEC-2023-0071 vulnerability (Marvin Attack on RSA). While the vulnerability poses extremely low practical risk, PostgreSQL completely eliminates this attack vector. See SECURITY.md for details.

🆕 New in v0.3.0: Token-to-Profile Conversion
The new token-to-profile conversion utilities make it easier to work with OAuth providers and user profiles:
use auth_framework::{TokenToProfile, OAuthProvider, OAuthTokenResponse};
// Get a token from OAuth authentication
let token_response: OAuthTokenResponse = /* from OAuth flow */;
let provider = OAuthProvider::GitHub;
// Automatically convert token to user profile
let profile = token_response.to_profile(&provider).await?;
// Now you have access to standardized user data
println!("User ID: {}", profile.id.unwrap_or_default());
println!("Username: {}", profile.username.unwrap_or_default());
println!("Email: {}", profile.email.unwrap_or_default());

let credential = Credential::enhanced_device_flow_with_secret(
OAuthProvider::Google,
"client_id",
"client_secret",
vec!["email", "profile"]
);
// Complete a device flow with a device code
let credential = Credential::enhanced_device_flow_complete(
OAuthProvider::Microsoft,
"client_id",
"device_code",
vec!["user.read"]
);
Quick Start
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
auth-framework = "0.2.0"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
Basic Usage
use auth_framework::{AuthFramework, AuthConfig};
use auth_framework::methods::{JwtMethod, AuthMethodEnum};
use std::time::Duration;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Set environment for development/testing (allows memory storage)
std::env::set_var("ENVIRONMENT", "development");
// Configure the auth framework with required JWT secret
let jwt_secret = std::env::var("JWT_SECRET")
.unwrap_or_else(|_| "your-secure-jwt-secret-at-least-32-characters-long".to_string());
let config = AuthConfig::new()
.token_lifetime(Duration::from_secs(3600))
.refresh_token_lifetime(Duration::from_secs(86400 * 7))
.secret(jwt_secret);
// Create the auth framework (storage is handled internally)
let mut auth = AuthFramework::new(config);
// Register a JWT authentication method
let jwt_method = JwtMethod::new()
.secret_key("your-secure-jwt-secret-at-least-32-characters-long")
.issuer("your-service");
auth.register_method("jwt", AuthMethodEnum::Jwt(jwt_method));
// Initialize the framework
auth.initialize().await?;
// Create a JWT token for testing
let token = auth.create_auth_token(
"user123",
vec!["read".to_string(), "write".to_string()],
"jwt",
None,
).await?;
// Validate the token
if auth.validate_token(&token).await? {
println!("Token is valid!");
// Check permissions
if auth.check_permission(&token, "read", "documents").await? {
println!("User has permission to read documents");
}
}
Ok(())
}
