AuthoSec
Dual-Factor Cryptographic Payment & Non-Repudiation Compliance Engine
Eliminating financial replay attacks and identity spoofing through Dual-QR Handshakes (QR1 → QR2), sub-300ms core verification execution, and AES-256 GCM encrypted payloads.
4-Step Dual-QR Handshake.
Mutual identity binding prevents single-sided forgery, replay interception, and rogue transaction injection.
Merchant QR1 Scan
Sender scans static Merchant QR1 containing encrypted store metadata, generating initiating transaction state.
AWS SNS OTP Consent
Sender requests SMS OTP via AWS SNS (2–4s delivery). Time-bound 60s validity window validates account holder consent.
Dynamic QR2 Generation
Server issues single-use dynamic QR2 token containing AES-256 GCM encrypted nonce signature.
Atomic Settlement
Merchant scans QR2. Server executes mutual hash validation and updates Supabase PostgreSQL ledger atomically.
Mutual Authentication Guarantee
Both sender and receiver identity tokens are mutually verified before financial state modification. Tested on Samsung Galaxy A52 (Android 12) & iPhone 12 (iOS 17).
Functional Validation Test Matrix.
100% pass rate across 10 empirical validation test suites conducted under simulated B2B cyber threat vectors.
Threat Vulnerability Comparison: AuthoSec vs Traditional OTP.
| Security Feature / Attack Vector | Traditional OTP-Only System | AuthoSec (Dual-QR + OTP Protocol) |
|---|---|---|
| Mutual Identity Authentication | Single-sided only | Dual-sided (Sender & Receiver bound) |
| Replay Attack Protection | Vulnerable to captured session data | Nonce + Time-bound payload signatures |
| Identity & QR Payload Spoofing | Susceptible to static code swaps | AES-256 GCM encrypted QR payloads |
| Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Resistance | Limited protection | Identity binding + Dual verification |
| Non-Repudiation Audit Logs | Minimal transaction context | IP, User Agent, & Delta values logged |
Future Enhancements & Next-Gen Scope.
In-App TOTP Generation
Reduces dependence on SMS carrier networks by issuing dynamic local TOTP authentication tokens.
Blockchain Audit Ledger
Anchors transaction hashes onto an immutable decentralized ledger for zero-tamper non-repudiation.
Biometric FaceID / TouchID
Integrates hardware-level device biometric verification prior to dynamic QR2 issuance.
Cryptographic Engine & Zero-Trust Audit.
Grounded in peer-reviewed IEEE research on honeytoken authentication and secure offline mobile transactions, AuthoSec operates across 3 integrated codebases: a Next.js 15 Prisma backend, an Expo React Native mobile wallet, and a React Three.js web management platform.
