-#### 1. **Authentication & Management** (Eagle-Eye)
-- **API Key Validation**: Secure, hashed API key verification.
-- **Application Management**: Multi-app support with distinct configurations.
-- **User Management**: Role-based access control.
+**4 Specialized Microservices**
+- 🔐 Eagle-Eye (IAM)
+- 🎯 Sentinel (Input Security)
+- 👁️ Guardian (Output Validation)
+- 🌐 Gateway (Orchestration)
-#### 2. **Input Security Assessment** (Sentinel)
-- **Input Sanitization**: Unicode normalization, null byte removal, HTML escaping.
-- **PII Redaction**: Auto-redaction of SSNs, emails, phone numbers, etc.
-- **Threat Detection**:
- - **SQL Injection**: Pattern matching for common injection vectors.
- - **XSS**: Detection of malicious scripts and event handlers.
- - **Command Injection**: OS command detection.
-- **LLM-Based Analysis**: Deep semantic analysis using Gemini Pro.
-- **TOON Conversion**: Context-aware input transformation.
+ |
+
-#### 3. **Output Validation** (Guardian)
-- **Hallucination Detection**: Verifies LLM output against source facts.
-- **Tone Analysis**: Ensures brand consistency and appropriate tone.
-- **Toxicity Check**: Filters harmful or offensive content.
-- **PII Leakage Prevention**: Double-check for sensitive data in responses.
+### 🔍 **Real-Time Threat Detection**

+
+
+### Step 3️⃣: Verify Health
+
+```bash
+# Check all services are healthy
+curl http://localhost:8000/health # Gateway
+curl http://localhost:8003/health # Eagle-Eye

+
+### Step 4️⃣: Create Your First User & App
-Run the comprehensive security test suite in Docker:
+
+
+|
-**Windows (PowerShell):**
-```powershell
-.\run-tests.ps1
+**Register a User**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/register \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{
+ "email": "demo@example.com",
+ "password": "SecurePass123!"
+ }'
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "id": "550e8400-...",
+ "email": "demo@example.com",
+ "is_active": true
+}
+```
+
+ |
+
+
+**Login & Get Token**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/login \
+ -d "username=demo@example.com&password=SecurePass123!"
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+ "access_token": "eyJhbGciOi...",
+ "token_type": "bearer",
+ "user": {
+ "id": "550e8400-...",
+ "email": "demo@example.com"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+ |
+
+
+
+**Create an Application:**
+```bash
+# Save your JWT token from login
+TOKEN="eyJhbGciOi..."
+
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/apps/ \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{
+ "name": "my-awesome-app",
+ "description": "My first AI-powered application"
+ }'
+```
+
+**Generate an API Key:**
+```bash
+# Use the app_id from the previous response
+APP_ID="660e8400-..."
+
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/apps/$APP_ID/keys \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{
+ "name": "Production Key"
+ }'
```
-**Linux/Mac:**
+**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** Save the `api_key` from the response - it's only shown once!
+

+
+## 🔬 Service Deep Dive
+
+### 1. Gateway Service (Port 8000)
+
+**Role**: API Gateway, Request Orchestrator, Authentication Enforcer
+
+**Key Responsibilities**:
+- Single entry point for all client requests
+- API key authentication via `X-API-Key` header
+- Rate limiting enforcement (Redis-backed)
+- Request routing to Sentinel for security processing
+- Response aggregation and metrics calculation
+- Datadog telemetry export
+- Health monitoring
+
+**Core Endpoints**:
+- `POST /chat` - Main chat endpoint with security processing
+- `GET /health` - Health check
+- `GET /` - Service info
+
+**API Request Flow**:
+```python
+1. Extract & validate X-API-Key header
+2. Check Redis rate limits (tokens/time)
+3. Forward to Sentinel with security settings
+4. Receive validated response from Sentinel
+5. Update token usage in Redis
+6. Record metrics to Datadog
+7. Return response with security headers
+```
+
+**Rate Limiting Details**:
+- **Token Limit**: 5,000 tokens per 5 minutes (300 seconds)
+- **Violation Tracking**: 2 violations in 20 minutes = key suspension
+- **Enforcement**: Pre-request check + post-request increment
+- **Storage**: Redis with TTL-based sliding windows
+
+**Database Models**:
+- `Application` - App metadata (name, description, owner)
+- `ApiKey` - API key records (hash, prefix, usage stats)
+
+**Environment Variables**:
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL # PostgreSQL connection string
+REDIS_URL # Redis connection URL
+SENTINEL_SERVICE_URL # Sentinel internal endpoint
+SECRET_KEY # JWT signing secret
+ALGORITHM # JWT algorithm (HS256)
+DD_SERVICE # Datadog service name
+DD_VERSION # Service version
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Eagle-Eye Service (Port 8003)
+
+**Role**: Identity & Access Management (IAM), User/App/Key Management
+
+**Key Responsibilities**:
+- User registration and authentication
+- Application lifecycle management
+- API key generation and validation
+- Token-based authentication (JWT)
+- Business metrics collection
+
+**Core Endpoints**:
+
+**Authentication**:
+- `POST /auth/register` - User registration (email + password)
+- `POST /auth/login` - User login (returns JWT + user data)
+
+**User Management**:
+- `GET /users/` - Get current user profile
+- `PATCH /users/` - Update user profile
+- `DELETE /users/account-closure` - Delete account (requires no active apps)
+
+**Application Management**:
+- `POST /apps/` - Create new application
+- `GET /apps/` - List user's applications
+- `GET /apps/{app_id}` - Get application details
+- `PATCH /apps/{app_id}` - Update application
+- `DELETE /apps/{app_id}` - Delete application
+
+**API Key Management**:
+- `POST /apps/{app_id}/keys` - Generate new API key
+- `GET /apps/{app_id}/keys` - List application's API keys
+- `DELETE /apps/{app_id}/keys/{key_id}` - Revoke API key
+
+**Security Implementation**:
+```python
+# Password Hashing (Argon2)
+hashed_password = argon2.hash(plain_password)
+
+# API Key Generation
+plain_key = secrets.token_urlsafe(32) # e.g., "cs_4x7K...92qP"
+key_hash = argon2.hash(plain_key)
+key_prefix = plain_key[:4] # For display
+
+# JWT Token Creation
+access_token = jwt.encode(
+ {"sub": str(user_id), "exp": expiry},
+ SECRET_KEY,
+ algorithm="HS256"
+)
+```
+
+**Database Models**:
+```python
+User:
+ - id (UUID)
+ - email (unique)
+ - hashed_password
+ - full_name
+ - is_active
+ - created_at
+
+Application:
+ - id (UUID)
+ - name (unique)
+ - description
+ - owner_id (FK to User)
+ - created_at
+
+ApiKey:
+ - id (UUID)
+ - key_hash (indexed)
+ - key_prefix (display)
+ - name
+ - application_id (FK)
+ - is_active
+ - request_count
+ - usage_data (JSON)
+ - last_used_at
+```
+
+**Business Metrics** (Datadog):
+- `clestiq.eagleeye.users.created` - User registration count
+- `clestiq.eagleeye.apps.created` - Application creation count
+- `clestiq.eagleeye.apps.deleted` - Application deletion count

+## 🛡️ Security Features
+
+### Multi-Layer Security Architecture
+
+#### Layer 1: Authentication & Authorization
+
+**API Key Security**:
+- **Generation**: 32-byte cryptographically secure random tokens
+- **Storage**: Argon2id hashing (never store plaintext)
+- **Validation**: Constant-time hash comparison
+- **Display**: Only first 4 characters shown in UI
+- **Rotation**: Manual revocation + regeneration
+
+**JWT Authentication**:
+- **Algorithm**: HS256 (HMAC SHA-256)
+- **Expiry**: Configurable (default: 24 hours)
+- **Claims**: User ID, expiration timestamp
+- **Validation**: Signature verification, expiry check
+
+**Access Control**:
+- User-owned applications (FK constraint)
+- Application-scoped API keys
+- Endpoint-level authentication (FastAPI dependencies)
+
+#### Layer 2: Input Security (Sentinel)
+
+**Sanitization**:
+```python
+# HTML Escaping
+bleach.clean(input_text, tags=[], attributes={}, strip=True)
+
+# Unicode Normalization
+unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', text)
+
+# Null Byte Removal
+text.replace('\x00', '')
+```
+
+**PII Redaction**:
+| PII Type | Pattern | Replacement |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| SSN | `\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}` | `[SSN-REDACTED]` |
+| Email | RFC 5322 validation | `[EMAIL-REDACTED]` |
+| Phone | E.164 parsing | `[PHONE-REDACTED]` |
+| Credit Card | Luhn algorithm | `[CC-REDACTED]` |
