crystal-two-factor-auth

Two (2) Factor Authentication (2FA) Crystal code which uses the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm. You can use this code with the Google Authenticator mobile app or the Authy mobile or browser app.

• See the wikipedia page about TOTP

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  crystal-two-factor-auth:
    github: SushiChain/crystal-two-factor-auth

Usage

require "crystal-two-factor-auth"

# TOTP.generate_base32_secret
base32_secret = "NY4A5CPJZ46LXZCP"

# this is the name of the key which can be displayed by the authenticator program
key_id = "kings@sushichain.io"

# generate the QR code
# we can display this image to the user to let them load it into their auth program
puts "Image url: #{TOTP.qr_code_url(key_id, base32_secret)}"

# we can use the auth number here and compare it against user input
# auth_number = TOTP.generate_number_string(base32_secret)
# is_valid = TOTP.validate_number_string(base32_secret, auth_number)

# this loop shows how the number changes over time
while true
  diff = TOTP::DEFAULT_TIME_STEP_SECONDS - ((Time.now.epoch_ms / 1000) % TOTP::DEFAULT_TIME_STEP_SECONDS)
  code = TOTP.generate_number_string(base32_secret)
  puts "Secret code = #{code}, change in #{diff} seconds"
  sleep 1
end

See the example in spec/two_factor_auth_example.cr

To get this to work for you:

1. Use generate_base32_secret() to generate a secret key in base32 format for the user. For example: "NY4A5CPJZ46LXZCP"
2. Store the secret key in the database associated with the user account
3. Display the QR image URK returned by qr_code_url(...) to the user. Here's a sample which uses GoogleAPI's:
4. User uses the image to load the secret key into their authenticator application (google auth / authy)

Whenever the user logs in:

1. The user enters the number from the authenticator application into the login form
2. Read the secret associated with the user account from the database
3. The server compares the user input with the output from generate_current_number_string(...)
4. If they are equal then the user is allowed to log in
