NextGate Authentication Specification v1.0
1. Overview
Approach: Passwordless-first, device-trusted, risk-aware authentication.
| Principle |
Implementation |
| Passwordless default |
OTP-based, password optional (add later in settings) |
| Device trust |
Hardware-bound keys (mobile), fingerprint (web) |
| Risk-based |
Dynamic verification based on risk score |
| Age-gated |
18+ full access, tiered restrictions below |

4. Login Method Summary
| Has Password? |
Login Options |
| No |
OTP only (passwordless) |
| Yes |
Choose: OTP or Password |
| Login Method |
New Device Handling |
| OTP |
None needed — OTP is verification |
| Password |
OTP required on new device |
| OAuth |
OTP required on new device |
5. Device Trust
Mobile Device Registration

│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Generate key pair in Secure Enclave │
│ • Private key: NEVER leaves device │
│ • Public key: sent to server │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────┘
▼
Device registered ✅
Login with Device Verification
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Client: GET /auth/challenge │
│ Server returns: { nonce: "xyz" } │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────┘
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2. Client: Sign nonce with │
│ hardware private key │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────┘
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 3. Client: POST /auth/login │
│ { signature, deviceId, nonce } │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────┘
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 4. Server: Verify signature with │
│ stored public key │
│ • Valid → trusted device ✅ │
│ • Invalid → block ❌ │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
Why Attacker Fails
Attacker has: ✅ Password, ✅ DeviceId, ✅ Nonce
Attacker needs: ❌ Private key (locked in victim's hardware)
Result: ❌ Cannot forge signature → Attack fails
