🔐 Security Features

1. HMAC-SHA256 Signature Verification ✅

  • Cryptographic payload integrity verification
  • Web Crypto API with Node.js fallback
  • 256-bit security strength

2. Constant-Time Comparison ✅

  • Bitwise XOR accumulation prevents early returns
  • Timing attack mitigation
  • OWASP compliant

3. Timestamp Validation ✅

  • Configurable tolerance window (default: 5 minutes)
  • Prevents replay with old captured requests
  • Handles clock skew

4. Nonce-Based Replay Prevention ✅

  • LRU cache with O(1) operations
  • Automatic eviction of oldest entries
  • Configurable cache size (default: 1000)

5. Input Validation ✅

  • Required header validation
  • Payload structure validation
  • Event type verification
  • Cross-validation

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

npm install @stellar-split/sdk
npm install --save-dev @types/express

Basic Usage

import express from 'express';
import { createWebhookMiddleware } from '@stellar-split/sdk';

const app = express();

app.use('/webhooks/stellarsplit', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }));

app.post(
  '/webhooks/stellarsplit',
  createWebhookMiddleware(process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET!),
  (req, res) => {
    const { event, data } = req.webhookPayload;
    console.log(`Received ${event}:`, data);
    res.status(200).json({ received: true });
  }
);

🎯 API Reference

Main Function

createWebhookMiddleware(
  secret: string,
  options?: WebhookOptions
): RequestHandler

Options

interface WebhookOptions {
  toleranceSeconds?: number;      // Default: 300
  nonceWindowSize?: number;       // Default: 1000
  signatureHeader?: string;       // Default: "x-stellarsplit-signature"
  timestampHeader?: string;       // Default: "x-stellarsplit-timestamp"
  nonceHeader?: string;          // Default: "x-stellarsplit-nonce"
}

Event Types

type InvoiceEventType =
  | "invoice.created"
  | "invoice.paid"
  | "invoice.failed"
  | "invoice.released"
  | "invoice.refunded"
  | "invoice.cancelled"
  | "invoice.expired";

Utility Functions

generateWebhookSignature(payload, secret): Promise<string>
verifyWebhookSignature(payload, signature, secret): Promise<boolean>
parseWebhookPayload<T>(rawPayload: string): WebhookPayload<T>
isValidEventType(event: string): boolean
isWebhookRequest(req: Request): boolean

Error Types

InvalidSignatureError          // Signature verification failed
TimestampOutOfBoundsError     // Timestamp outside tolerance
ReplayAttackError             // Duplicate nonce detected
MissingHeaderError            // Required header missing
InvalidPayloadError           // Malformed payload
