Circuit Breaker Pattern + +**Added circuit breaker to prevent cascading failures:** +```javascript +class CircuitBreaker { + constructor(options = {}) { + this.failureThreshold = options.failureThreshold || 5; + this.resetTimeout = options.resetTimeout || 60000; // 60s + this.state = 'CLOSED'; // CLOSED, OPEN, HALF_OPEN + this.failureCount = 0; + this.lastFailureTime = null; + this.successCount = 0; + } + + async execute(fn) { + if (this.state === 'OPEN') { + if (Date.now() - this.lastFailureTime >= this.resetTimeout) { + this.state = 'HALF_OPEN'; + this.successCount = 0; + } else { + throw new Error('Circuit breaker is OPEN'); + } + } + + try { + const result = await fn(); + this.onSuccess(); + return result; + } catch (error) { + this.onFailure(); + throw error; + } + } + + onSuccess() { + this.failureCount = 0; + if (this.state === 'HALF_OPEN') { + this.successCount++; + if (this.successCount >= 2) { + this.state = 'CLOSED'; + } + } + } + + onFailure() { + this.failureCount++; + this.lastFailureTime = Date.now(); + if (this.failureCount >= this.failureThreshold) { + this.state = 'OPEN'; + } + } +} +``` + +#### 2. Enhanced Health Checks + +**Added comprehensive health check function:** +```javascript +export async function checkPoolHealth() { + const stats = getPoolStats(); + const health = { + healthy: true, + timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), + stats, + issues: [], + }; + + // Check if pool is exhausted + if (stats.totalConnections >= stats.maxConnections) { + health.healthy = false; + health.issues.push('Pool exhausted: all connections in use'); + } + + // Check if too many waiting requests + if (stats.waitingRequests > 10) { + health.healthy = false; + health.issues.push(`High wait queue: ${stats.waitingRequests} requests waiting`); + } + + // Test actual connectivity + try { + await pool.query('SELECT 1'); + } catch (err) { + health.healthy = false; + health.issues.push(`Database connectivity failed: ${err.message}`); + } + + return health; +} +``` + +#### 3.

Token Bucket Rate Limiter + +**Created rate limiter with Redis backend:** +```javascript +import Redis from 'ioredis'; + +class TokenBucketRateLimiter { + constructor(options = {}) { + this.redis = options.redis || new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL); + this.capacity = options.capacity || 100; // tokens + this.refillRate = options.refillRate || 10; // tokens per second + this.keyPrefix = options.keyPrefix || 'ratelimit:'; + } + + async consume(key, tokens = 1) { + const redisKey = `${this.keyPrefix}${key}`; + const now = Date.now(); + + const result = await this.redis.eval( + ` + local key = KEYS[1] + local capacity = tonumber(ARGV[1]) + local refillRate = tonumber(ARGV[2]) + local tokens = tonumber(ARGV[3]) + local now = tonumber(ARGV[4]) + + local bucket = redis.call('HMGET', key, 'tokens', 'lastRefill') + local currentTokens = tonumber(bucket[1]) or capacity + local lastRefill = tonumber(bucket[2]) or now + + local timePassed = (now - lastRefill) / 1000 + local tokensToAdd = timePassed * refillRate + currentTokens = math.min(capacity, currentTokens + tokensToAdd) + + if currentTokens >= tokens then + currentTokens = currentTokens - tokens + redis.call('HMSET', key, 'tokens', currentTokens, 'lastRefill', now) + redis.call('EXPIRE', key, 3600) + return {1, currentTokens} + else + return {0, currentTokens} + end + `, + 1, + redisKey, + this.capacity, + this.refillRate, + tokens, + now + ); + + return { + allowed: result[0] === 1, + remaining: Math.floor(result[1]), + retryAfter: result[0] === 0 ? Math.ceil((tokens - result[1]) / this.refillRate) : 0, + }; + } +} +``` + +#### 2. Rate Limiting Middleware + +**Created Express middleware:** +```javascript +export function createRateLimitMiddleware(options = {}) { + const limiter = new TokenBucketRateLimiter(options); + + return async (req, res, next) => { + const key = options.keyGenerator + ? options.keyGenerator(req) + : req.ip || req.connection.remoteAddress; + + try { + const result = await limiter.consume(key); + + res.setHeader('X-RateLimit-Limit', options.capacity || 100); + res.setHeader('X-RateLimit-Remaining', result.remaining); + + if (!result.allowed) { + res.setHeader('Retry-After', result.retryAfter); + return res.status(429).json({ + error: 'Too Many Requests', + message: 'Rate limit exceeded', + retryAfter: result.retryAfter, + }); + } + + next(); + } catch (err) { + console.error('Rate limiter error:', err); + // Fail open: allow request if rate limiter fails + next(); + } + }; +} +``` + +#### 3. Multiple Rate Limit Tiers + +**Implemented tiered rate limiting:** +```javascript +export const rateLimitTiers = { + // Per IP address + perIP: { + capacity: 100, + refillRate: 10, // 10 requests per second + keyGenerator: (req) => `ip:${req.ip}`, + }, + + // Per API key + perApiKey: { + capacity: 1000, + refillRate: 100, // 100 requests per second + keyGenerator: (req) => `apikey:${req.headers['x-api-key']}`, + }, + + // Per endpoint + perEndpoint: { + capacity: 500, + refillRate: 50, // 50 requests per second + keyGenerator: (req) => `endpoint:${req.method}:${req.path}`, + }, +}; +``` + +### Benefits +- ✅ Prevents API abuse and DoS attacks +- ✅ Fair resource allocation across clients +- ✅ Configurable rate limits per tier +- ✅ Redis-backed for distributed systems +- ✅ Graceful degradation (fail open) +- ✅ Standard HTTP headers (X-RateLimit-*, Retry-After) + +--- + +## Issue #764: Add Cryptographic Signature Verification to API Gateway Security + +**Status:** ✅ Already Implemented + +### Analysis + +The API Gateway Security module **already has comprehensive cryptographic signature verification** implemented. + +### Existing Implementation + +#### 1. HMAC-SHA256 Signature Generation + +```javascript +export function signApiGatewayRequest({ + secret, + method, + path, + timestamp, + body, +}) { + const payload = buildCanonicalPayload({ method, path, timestamp, body }); + return crypto.createHmac("sha256", secret).update(payload, "utf8").digest("hex"); +} +``` + +#### 2. Signature Verification + +```javascript +export function verifyApiGatewayRequestSignature({ + secret, + method, + path, + timestampHeader, + signatureHeader, + body, + now = Date.now(), + toleranceSeconds = 300, +}) { + // Validates timestamp window + // Normalizes signature header + // Performs timing-safe comparison + // Returns { valid: boolean, reason: string } +} +``` + +#### 3. Security Features + +**Already Implemented:** +- ✅ HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic signatures +- ✅ Canonical payload construction (method + path + timestamp + body hash) +- ✅ Timing-safe signature comparison (`crypto.timingSafeEqual`) +- ✅ Timestamp validation (prevents replay attacks) +- ✅ Configurable tolerance window (default 300s) +- ✅ Signature header normalization +- ✅ Body hash verification (SHA-256) + +### Enhancements Added + +#### 1. Signature Rotation Support + +**Added key rotation mechanism:** +```javascript +export function verifyWithKeyRotation({ + secrets, // Array of secrets (current + previous) + ...otherParams +}) { + for (const secret of secrets) { + const result = verifyApiGatewayRequestSignature({ + secret, + ...otherParams, + }); + + if (result.valid) { + return { ...result, keyIndex: secrets.indexOf(secret) }; + } + } + + return { valid: false, reason: 'Signature verification failed with all keys' }; +} +``` + +#### 2. Enhanced Logging + +**Added signature verification logging:** +```javascript +function logSignatureVerification(result, context = {}) { + const level = result.valid ? 'info' : 'warn'; + console[level]('API Gateway signature verification:', { + timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), + valid: result.valid, + reason: result.reason, + ...context, + }); +} +``` + +### Conclusion + +**No additional implementation needed** - the cryptographic signature verification is already robust and production-ready.
