```

### Key Components

#### 1. TOTP Implementation (`totp.rs`)
```rust
pub struct TotpGenerator {
    // RFC 6238 compliant TOTP generation
    // - Base32 secret encoding
    // - HMAC-SHA1 algorithm
    // - 6-digit codes
    // - 30-second time step
}

pub struct TotpVerifier {
    // Verification with drift tolerance
    // - ±1 time window (±30 seconds)
    // - Constant-time comparison (timing attack prevention)
    // - Time remaining calculation
}
```

#### 2. Backup Codes (`backup_codes.rs`)
```rust
pub struct BackupCodeGenerator {
    // 16-character alphanumeric codes
    // - Excludes ambiguous characters (0, O, 1, I, l)
    // - Formatted display (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)
    // - SHA-256 hashed storage
}

pub struct BackupCodeValidator {
    // One-time use validation
    // - Database-backed verification
    // - Automatic expiration (365 days)
    // - Usage tracking and audit
}
```

#### 3. QR Code Generation (`qr_code.rs`)
```rust
pub struct QrCodeGenerator {
    // otpauth:// URI generation
    // - PNG and SVG rendering
    // - Base64 data URLs
    // - Configurable size and error correction
}
```

#### 4. MFA Manager (`mod.rs`)
```rust
pub struct MfaManager {
    // Central coordinator for all MFA operations
    // - Enrollment management
    // - Verification orchestration
    // - Backup code operations
    // - Security lockout enforcement
}
```

## Enrollment Flow

### 1. Start Enrollment
```rust
let enrollment = mfa_manager.start_enrollment(
    user_id,
    "FoxhuntHFT",           // Issuer
    "user@example.com"      // Account name
).await?;

// Returns:
// - QR code PNG image
// - QR code URI (otpauth://totp/...)
// - Manual entry secret
// - Session ID with 15-minute expiration
```

### 2. User Scans QR Code
- User opens authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.)
- Scans QR code or manually enters secret
- App generates 6-digit TOTP codes every 30 seconds

### 3. Verify and Complete Enrollment
```rust
let backup_codes = mfa_manager.complete_enrollment(
    session_id,
    user_id,
    totp_code  // First TOTP code from app
).await?;

// Returns 10 backup codes:
// - ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP
// - 2345-6789-ABCD-EFGH
// - ... (8 more codes)
```

### 4. User Stores Backup Codes
- **CRITICAL**: User must save backup codes securely
- Codes shown only once during enrollment
- Used for account recovery if device is lost

## Authentication Flow

### 1. Standard TOTP Verification
```rust
let is_valid = mfa_manager.verify_totp(
    user_id,
    totp_code,      // 6-digit code from app
    Some(ip_address)
).await?;

if is_valid {
    // MFA verification successful
    // Grant access with authenticated session
} else {
    // Invalid code - increment failed attempts
    // Lock account after 5 failed attempts (15-minute lockout)
}
```

### 2. Backup Code Verification
```rust
let is_valid = mfa_manager.verify_backup_code(
    user_id,
    backup_code,    // 16-character code (formatted or plain)
    Some(ip_address)
).await?;

// Backup code is consumed (one-time use)
// Backup codes remaining counter is decremented
```

### 3. Account Lockout Protection
- **5 failed attempts** → 15-minute account lock
- **Lock cleared** on successful verification
- **Audit trail** of all attempts with IP addresses

## Security Features

### 1. Encrypted Secret Storage
```sql
-- PostgreSQL pgcrypto AES-256 encryption
CREATE FUNCTION encrypt_totp_secret(plaintext TEXT, key TEXT)
RETURNS BYTEA AS $$
BEGIN
    RETURN pgp_sym_encrypt(plaintext, key, 'cipher-algo=aes256');
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER;
```

**Production Configuration:**
- Encryption key managed via HashiCorp Vault
- Key rotation supported
- Database-level encryption in addition to table-level

### 2. Timing Attack Prevention
```rust
// Constant-time string comparison
fn constant_time_compare(a: &str, b: &str) -> bool {
    if a.len() != b.len() {
        return false;
    }
    let mut result = 0u8;
    for (x, y) in a.bytes().zip(b.bytes()) {
        result |= x ^ y;
    }
    result == 0
}
```

### 3. Rate Limiting and Lockout
- **Per-user rate limiting**: 5 attempts per 15 minutes
- **Automatic lockout**: 15 minutes after 5 failed attempts
- **IP tracking**: Audit log includes client IP addresses
- **Progressive delays**: Future enhancement for adaptive delays

### 4. Backup Code Security
- **SHA-256 hashing**: Codes stored hashed, never in plaintext
- **One-time use**: Codes invalidated immediately after use
- **Expiration**: 365-day expiration (configurable)
- **Limited quantity**: 10 codes maximum per user

## Integration with Authentication System

### JWT Claims Extension
```rust
pub struct JwtClaims {
    pub jti: String,         // JWT ID (already present)
    pub sub: String,         // User ID
    pub mfa_verified: bool,  // NEW: MFA verification status
    pub mfa_method: String,  // NEW: "totp" or "backup_code"
    pub mfa_timestamp: u64,  // NEW: When MFA was verified
    // ... existing fields
}
```

### Authentication Flow Update
```rust
// 1. Initial password authentication
let user = authenticate_password(username, password).await?;

// 2. Check if MFA is required
if mfa_manager.is_mfa_required(user.id).await? {
    // Return "MFA_REQUIRED" status with session token
    return AuthResponse::MfaRequired {
        session_token: generate_temp_session(),
        methods: vec!["totp", "backup_code"],
    };
}

// 3. Verify MFA code
let mfa_valid = mfa_manager.verify_totp(user.id, mfa_code, ip).await?;

// 4. Issue full JWT with MFA claims
if mfa_valid {
    let jwt = create_jwt_with_mfa_claims(user, "totp").await?;
    return AuthResponse::Success { token: jwt };
}
```

## API Endpoints
